Why People Prefer Vacation Rentals Over Traditional Hotels?

[Cole Simpson]

Rentals provide quite a few perks. There are many reasons to choose a vacation rental when visiting a new destination.

Here are the top 3 reasons why people prefer vacation rentals:

Kitchen access

Value for money

Privacy

A vacation rental is different from a hotel or inn because it's typically a regular house or apartment. So, when staying in a vacation rental, you'll get to live like a local and have access to things that you wouldn't normally have in a hotel. Plus, vacation rentals are decorated according to the individual taste of the owner, so the atmosphere is often homier than an impersonal hotel room. 

If your vacation rental has a kitchen, for example, you can save money by cooking your own food. And this doesn't just go for bigger groups - even singles or couples might be surprised at how much less a one-bedroom apartment or small cottage costs on the vacation rental market compared to a hotel room.

You might find a vacation rental to be less costly, in general, rather than a hotel. Plus, if you're staying more than a few days, there's often a discount applied.
