Is A Vacation Villa Rental Option Right For You And Your Family

Lifestyle

17 Oct

Vacation villa rentals are growing in their popularity for families looking to get away for awhile. Hotel rooms aren’t the only option anymore when you travel. A rental home can give you more space than you get a hotel room, and it’s sometimes cheaper. You can also save money from having your own kitchen to make your own meals, and many vacation villas also come with a concierge service that makes life easy. If you want to really feel like one of the locals in another country, then a villa rental can help you accomplish this. Some of the locations are also the things dreams are made of, given the memories, views, and pictures you can make and take.

There’s no time like the present if you want to try a vacation villa rental. The market for them is booming thanks to traveling millennials, baby boomers hunting extended stays, weekend travelers wanting luxury for a few nights, and honeymooners looking for exotic getaways. The Internet and things like Airbnb have made the villa market explode domestically and worldwide. Still, the question remains, is it right for you and your family?

What Options Are Available?

You might think that beach houses are the only villas available. It’s true that quite a few vacation villas are in fact oceanside or sitting by the sea, where you can gaze into the endless waters and enjoy the smell of salt in the air. However, you might also cringe at the thought of your kids tracking sand all over the home and dealing with sunburns. If you do want to go to the beach, then you have no shortage of options, but if you want something different, you can find that too. You can find villas in places like Australia, Puerto Rico, and Latin America where you’re surrounded by rainforest. There are hilltop villas in the wine country areas of California and Europe. Enjoy a ski villa just off the slopes of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. You can even find pampering stays in Florida that helps you and your family recuperate after a day filled with Disney or Seaworld. And of course let’s not forget about a luxury villa in Mexico from www.Enjoymexico.net.

What Do You Gain?

In the majority of cases, you’re going to have, compared to a hotel, more space, extra privacy, and possibly more money still in your pocket. You probably will enjoy a kitchen and even a washer and dryer. An outdoor area all your own is likely, which rarely happens at hotels short of a small balcony. In some resorts and complexes, you might get access to tennis, golf, and a concierge service. All of this can add up to simplifying the complicated process of family travel while also giving your group breathing room to spread out.

What Do You Give Up?

Not every vacation villa rental is made the same. A private home owned by a single family might carry the same benefits that you get in a resort community or something that’s part of a chain. You might also have to pack your own linens, as you might not get room service or maid service. You might have to rent your own beach chairs, baby equipment, or bikes, and beach villas often have very rigid check-in and -out dates. You’ll also be responsible for all your meals.

If you do rent inside a complex or resort community, more amenities are typically available, although many of them might be extra and ordered one by one off of an a la carte menu. You need to ask questions when looking at listings.

Is It A Good Deal?

In many cases, it’s either cheaper or just more bang for the buck. An off-season resort hotel room in Hawaii might run you $175, but for $200 a night, you can get a two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa with kitchen, hot tubs, access to a swimming pool, and concierge service, which is not much for such a stellar upgrade in terms of both space and amenities. In central Rome, you can find a few hotel rooms under $100 USD a night, but you can also find villas around the city for the same price per night, giving you much more space. If you have a big family or travel with another one, the savings can add up when costs are split.

Do You Want To Live Like The Locals?

Hotels do have advantages. The staff at some hotels might speak your native language if you’re from out of the country, meaning you get some comforts of home. However, a vacation villa is more likely to be outside the tourist areas, so you can hang with locals in cafes and shop in neighborhood markets. Talk the villa owner to get the inside scoop on what to do and where to shop and eat.

Do You Just Want To Live It Up?

Of course, you don’t have to ever go out. Many villas have views you never want to leave, plus hot tubs to soak in as long as you want. You can enjoy concierge service and an on-site kitchen so you are well-fed right there, all while you get a taste of living on a multi-million-dollar property you might never own.

Why Would You Not Rent?

The length of your stay will limit your choices. Many vacation villa rentals are only available for three nights to a week for their minimums, so an overnight or two-day stay is unlikely. Also, if your family isn’t looking to be self-sufficient on a trip, then a hotel might be more convenient.

Also, if you’re looking at a vacation villa for your destination wedding, you might think that your guests can stay with you for the marriage ceremony and then you’ll have the place to yourself with your bride or groom for the honeymoon. However, if any guests linger because they love the place, your honeymoon might not be as private as you want it to be.

Vacation villa rentals can be wonderful options for many families, but they’re not always perfect. Consider all that you have read here as you make your plans for your future trips.
