| Traveling to San Diego and trying to decide on | | | | to...stay in a beachfront rental and the ocean is at |
| accommodations? What is the difference between | | | | your back door-literally, you have a fully equipped |
| a vacation rental and a hotel room, and what is | | | | kitchen, and if you want to eat out, there are |
| better? Well, it all depends on what you are | | | | plenty of restaurants you can walk to. You can |
| looking for. But the vacation rental | | | | even opt for grocery delivery or a private chef. |
| accommodations sure seems to be creeping up | | | | Hire a masseuse to come in, or perhaps a |
| on the hotels... | | | | photographer to take family photos...the options |
| Here are some thoughts to help you make your | | | | are endless. |
| decision.... | | | | Space Space Space - Vacation Rentals offer |
| Length of stay: if you are just passing through | | | | considerably more space than you will find in most |
| and need a night, stay in a hotel - (many | | | | hotel rooms. Now the whole family can breath |
| companies do not even allow a one night stay). | | | | and have space to themselves. |
| Although, if you are planning on staying for more | | | | Flexibility - If you want to stay in and cook, great; |
| than one day (2+ days), wouldn't it be nice to be | | | | if you feel like going out, great. If you want to be |
| able to completely settle in to a "home away | | | | lazy and just soak in the views from your |
| from home"? Vacation rentals are fully equipped | | | | rooftop deck or balcony, perfect; if you want to |
| with every amenity to give you anything and | | | | get out and see attractions, go ahead. When |
| everything you would ever need to "live" while | | | | staying at an oceanfront vacation rental, there is |
| not at home. The purpose of a vacation home is | | | | no pressure to get out of the hotel room and "do |
| just that, it is to act as your very own private | | | | something". |
| vacation home, a getaway that you could | | | | Comfort and Amenities - You will not find |
| eventually return to year after year (that is if | | | | vacation rentals 'sterile' like many hotel |
| you are pleased with the home you stay in). | | | | rooms...each one is professionally decorated to |
| Save $$$$$: It might not seem like it on the | | | | give you that feeling of comfort and home. Also, |
| offset, but staying in a vacation rental can save | | | | the amenities that come standard give an extra |
| you a lot of money. Because you are paying for | | | | personal convenience. As mentioned, every |
| a home, and not on a per room or per person | | | | kitchen is fully equipped to prepare anything from |
| basis, the accommodations can end up being a lot | | | | a snack to a Thanksgiving feast. Every rental has |
| less than an equivalent four or five star hotel. | | | | its own laundry machines...saves on packing and |
| Also, think of the money you save on the cost | | | | saves on work to be done when you return from |
| of eating out...staying in a hotel you are forced to | | | | vacation! Most of our oceanfront rentals also have |
| eat out every meal. Stay in a vacation home, and | | | | a private spa...not sharing with other hotel guests. |
| you have a fully equipped kitchen at your | | | | Just you and your group. |
| fingertips...even if you eat dinners out, the amount | | | | Customer service - Find the same customer |
| saved on breakfast, snacks, lunch, drinks, etc. can | | | | service you would at any hotel...whether you need |
| add up to a lot of money...money that can be | | | | extra toilet paper or you would like to arrange for |
| used for, oh, say another few nights on vacation. | | | | a surprise flower delivery, we are always willing to |
| # of People in group: This is what vacation rentals | | | | help you in whatever ways we can to make your |
| are best for-large groups! Are you going on | | | | vacation the vacation of your dreams! |
| vacation with your entire extended family, or | | | | Vacation rentals offer a "relaxing" vacation, an |
| another family, or a group of friends? Rather then | | | | idea that doesn't seem to exist anymore. What |
| pay for several hotel rooms all separate from | | | | happened to going on vacation to re-energize and |
| each other, rent a home, where everyone can still | | | | relax? Most vacations I go on these days are |
| have their individual rooms, and bathrooms, yet at | | | | great and amazing, but honestly, when I return |
| the same time, everyone is in the same location | | | | home I feel like I need another vacation, to |
| and can share the same common area. If you | | | | recuperate from the previous vacation! An |
| need even more space, rent two homes next to | | | | oceanfront rental could not offer a more relaxing |
| each other, or rent a unit which can be divided | | | | vacation experience. There is literally nothing you |
| into two, so you have double the kitchens and | | | | need to do once you get here, that is, if you |
| double the living areas. | | | | don't want to. |
| Unless you are going to Vegas or some world | | | | Escape to luxury and live like the rich and famous |
| class resort, a hotel is typically not the | | | | (at least for a few days) ... come stay in one of |
| "destination", rather it is just an accommodation. | | | | our gorgeous beachfront vacation homes! You |
| Vacation rentals are a "destination" themselves. | | | | may never go back to a hotel again... |
| You really never have to leave if you prefer not | | | | |
