The Great Debate:  Hotel v Orlando Vacation Rental and How Does OVH 360 Compare?

You’ve spent months maybe even years planning your perfect family Orlando vacation rental. After all the time and effort you put into planning, you understandably want everything to go off without a hitch. Certain things can make or break your family vacation. Probably one of the biggest worries of any vacation is your accommodations. Choose the wrong place, and it can be detrimental to the entire trip.

Nowadays, there are quite a few options when choosing where to stay with your family.  Two of the biggest options are between hotels and Orlando vacation rental homes.  This can be a tough decision.  If you and your family are used to staying in the familiar name brand hotel chains when you travel, booking an Orlando vacation rental home may be understandably scary.  However, hotels can’t provide what vacation rentals can, and solely for this reason you may want to explore booking a rental home for your next family vacation. With so many benefits that vacation rentals offer, they are definitely worth a look.  Here are 8 things to consider when comparing hotels to vacation rental homes:

Orlando Vacation Rentals

• Value for money: At first glance, the price of a hotel may seem more alluring than a rental home. Depending on the area you are staying in, a hotel may cost $25-$50 less per night when compared with an Orlando vacation rental.  However, when you compare what you get for that price difference, hotels just don’t compare in terms of amenities and value for money.  Overall, most vacation rentals will actually work out more cost effective for your family trip than had you stayed in a hotel  for an extended period of time.  Calculate your savings here-http://www.tripadvisor.com/#Calculator

• More bang for your buck: Most hotel rooms average 325 sq ft.   That can be a tight squeeze even for a family of four.  After a long day of visiting amusement parks, shopping, and dining together, it might be nice to have a little breathing room and space. Vacation rentals give you the space that hotels just can’t.  Most rental properties have at minimum two bedrooms, living room, dining room, and an outdoor area. Some rental properties even have game rooms, rec rooms and private pools. That leaves plenty of room for family members to unwind after  a long day of activities!  Bonus:  mom and dad probably won’t be complaining about having their own room.
• Dining In: Some hotels do include breakfast in the price of the room. Most likely, it will be a limited selection of cereal, fruit, and bread.  But what if you don’t feel like scrambling to get ready in the morning just to make the hotel’s breakfast schedule? One more advantage of staying at an Orlando vacation rental property; you are not limited to food selection or time tables. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at home with just your family- no time limits, no interruptions, and no wait times. Bonus: You can even wear your pj’s to the breakfast table!
• Dining Out: Did you know that the average cost for a meal out is $13 per person (and pricier at major tourist attractions)?   The average cost for a meal prepared at home is just $4 per person. That means if you prepared either lunch or dinner at home just once a day while on vacation, you would be saving a family of four $36 per meal! Quite a savings! This is just not an option at a hotel. You don’t have the luxury of a kitchen to prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner in your very own Orlando vacation rental.
• Parking: Some hotels do charge for parking. That could potentially be a daily cost which can really add up.  One less thing to worry about – with an Orlando vacation rental, parking is always free.
• Location: Vacation rentals can offer you great locations where hotels in the same area might be booked.   Plus, when choosing a local vacation rental company, you can be sure you are staying in family friendly, safe area.
• No Baggage Fees: Pack light and avoid the exuberant baggage fees nearly every airline carrier charges nowadays.  Bring a free carry-on because vacation rentals come equipped with washers/dryers. Another luxury not available at hotels.
• The More the Merrier: Vacation home rentals are great for large or extended families vacationing together as well as large groups.  Splitting the cost of a rental home will inevitably work out more affordable than it would be had you stayed at the same hotel in separate rooms.  Bonus:  you are all under one roof!
