Why rent a private home vs hotel?

Economics is one of the primary reasons. A vacation home can replace 2-4 hotel rooms at a fraction of the cost. Why squish the whole family in one room when each person can have their own bed in their own private bedroom for less?

Save on high dining bills Vacationers can eat their meals at home or even cook up their favorite meals on the barbecue.

Privacy is another major consideration when choosing a vacation rental home over a hotel. Who wants to listen to new guests arriving all hours of the night through the thin walls in hotels?

Outside Space Many vacation homes include large back yards or large lawns for space to explore or play. This is hard to do at a hotels when all they offer is a paved parking lot!

Pool Many vacation homes have private heated pools and/or spas. Why share with others when you don't have to!

Family & Friends Guest can enjoy their gathering of friends and family without interruption. Who wants to eat in a noisy crowded restuarant every day?

Amenities are probably the main reason vacationers continue to rent vacation homes year after year. Many vacation rentals offer amenities that are superior to many upscale hotels and resorts. Pillow top mattresses, plasma TVs, wireless Internet, pool or game tables, fully stocked gourmet kitchens, private heated pools and spas and some of the most spectacular waterfront views.
