The 5 Main Benefits Of Holiday Homes

When it comes to family vacations then accommodation is a big decision. Not only does it eat up a large chunk of your budget but it greatly affects the quality of your vacation. There are basically two options available to you. The first is a hotel or a resort style hotel and the second is to rent a vacation home. In my opinion vacation homes are a much better option for several reasons. Here are 5 of them...


Space
While many people may argue that space is not all that important when you are on holiday it absolutely does. If you are a family of 4 or more then renting a big holiday home can be very economical and there will be more than enough space for everyone. It will allow the parents privacy and the kids enough space to play indoors if they have to. A hotel can get very cramped after a week or two.

Kitchen
Most hotels don't have kitchens which means you have to buy most of your meals. Expensive! Holiday homes however have fully fitted kitchens which will allow you to prepare your own meals. It also allows family time during meals which is a great thing on holiday. It will save you money and you will probably have much better quality food than getting take-aways all the time.

Amenities
The majority of holiday homes come with washers and dryers which allows you do your washing yourself - and for free. Hotels not only charge you but it actually keeps most people from doing it at the hotel and looking for a laundromat elsewhere - a real hassle.

Entertainment
While resorts usually have great entertainment it lacks that in-room entertainment that many kids want these days. Holiday homes have their own TV's with Cable and you don't have to pay extra. If you want to watch movies you can just get a DVD and you don't have to pay hotel rates just to watch a film. Some even have PlayStations to keep kids entertained on rainy days.

Privacy
Perhaps the biggest issue with hotels is privacy. No matter where you turn you have other people in your face. When we are on holiday we often just want some peace and quiet and you will never get that in a hotel. With a family home you will have complete privacy and will probably not even know you have a neighbor. You will have all the peace and quiet you deserve on your holiday.
