When planning a family vacation, choosing the right accommodations can make all the difference. While hotels have traditionally been the go-to option, more and more families are opting for vacation rentals, and for good reason. Here’s why we see families love vacation rentals and why they might be the perfect choice for your next trip.
More Space
One of the most obvious perks of a vacation rental is the space you'll have. For families, this is key whether you have little ones who need to nap and have an earlier bedtime, or older kids who want their own space.
Let’s face it—hotel rooms can feel cramped, especially when traveling with kids. With a vacation rental like ours, you get multiple bedrooms, a living area, and sometimes even outdoor space. This means no fighting over beds, no tripping over suitcases, and plenty of room for everyone to relax.
Home Away from Home
Sometimes, it's exciting to experience something totally different form home while you're on vacation. However, traveling with kids isn't usually the time to mix everything up. Kids thrive on routine and familiarity, and a vacation rental can give you that home away from home feel in a way that a hotel simply cannot.
From cozy living rooms to fully stocked kitchens to places to play games, you can settle in and enjoy their vacation without feeling like you're living out of a suitcase. Plus, the kids can have their own space, which makes bedtime routines and downtime much easier.
Kitchens Save Money & Time
Vacationing in a rental with a full kitchen is a game change when you travel as a family. Whether it’s for whipping up a quick breakfast before heading out or preparing a home-cooked dinner after a long day of adventures, having the kitchen right where you're staying saves major time and money. It can also be a huge benefit if you have a picky eater or food allergies to work around, knowing that you'll be able to prepare the food the way you need to rather than trying to find a restaurant that will work.
A Memorable Experience
Beyond the practical perks and family-friendly features, a vacation rental can also be the more fun, unique, and memorable choice. Unlike cookie-cutter hotel rooms, vacation rentals come in all shapes and sizes. You can choose a home that fits your style and creates a one-of-a-kind vacation experience.
