5 Reasons Vacations Rentals are Better than Hotels

Plan your perfect vacation! You’ve decided on a destination, now where are you going to stay? Before you start checking availability at hotels, why not consider booking a vacation rental. Why settle for one room when you can stay in an entire home with access to amenities like a kitchen, laundry room and yard.

Vacation rentals, like Cobbo’s Beach House, offer an unparallel travel experience ideal for families and groups. Unlike your average hotel, your vacation rental host will ensure that your trip is personalized to maximize your stay. They’ll help you arrange for a private chef, plan local excursions or even line up a masseuse to come to the property.

The ways in which a vacation rental outshines a hotel are numerous.

#1. Privacy

Hotels house countless numbers of guests at the same time, with all different agendas and diverse schedules. Your room may be located near crying babies, people coming and going early in the morning or late at night, kids hollering at the pool or the noise of cars in the parking lot. When you stay in a vacation house, you’ll enjoy the privacy and solitude you’re used to at home. You won’t have to share common areas with strangers and will be able to distance yourself a bit from your own traveling companions.

#2. Kitchen Privileges

When you stay in a hotel, you’re completely dependent on restaurants or room service, which often are only available limited hours. And if you’re traveling with a large family or staying for an extended period of time, dining out can become expensive and tiresome. Staying at a vacation rental allows for full access to a kitchen equipped with dishes and utensils, as well as cookware and, most likely, a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. You’ll be able to stock the refrigerator with your favorite foods and drinks, whip up your own meals or snacks day and night, or even utilize the services of a private chef.

#3. More Space

Bigger is better when it comes to traveling. No one wants to be stuck in a tiny, one window room, especially with multiple people. Vacation homes offer private bedrooms, living spaces, a kitchen, a backyard and possibly even patios, balconies, a garage and a bar, which is especially ideal for extended family, large groups of friends or even company excursions. Staying in a private vacation home often offers a nicer, larger ambiance for relaxing and entertaining.

#4. Extra Amenities

Many vacation rentals offer conveniences and services above and beyond the standard hotel. In addition to full kitchens and televisions, it’s not uncommon to have access to a private pool and spa, a washer and dryer, wi-fi, outdoor games like cornhole and ping pong, fireplaces, music, a gym and even smart technology. A stay at Cobbo’s Beach House includes plenty of outdoor “toys” as well, including kayaks, beach gear and a golf cart.

#5. Everybody’s Under One Roof

When you’re traveling with a large group you need to book multiple rooms, and that can be inconvenient and less enjoyable, especially when your party is separated on different floors or even different locations all together. When you stay at a vacation home there’s enough space for everyone in the same place, making it easy to gather together for nightcap or just to hang out. If you’re traveling with your sports team, colleagues, a bridal party or meeting up for a family reunion, it’s the ideal option.
