According to a 2015 TripAdvisor Survey, nearly 60 percent of U.S. vacationers plan to stay in rental homes this year, up by 7 percent from last year. What is it that’s causing so many first-time and habitual travelers to ditch hotels for rental vacation homes in Orlando?

Simply put, vacation rentals offer far more benefits and amenities than your average hotel. What are these benefits? Here are some that’s worth a mention!

1.     More Space – You Have Room To Breathe!

As per the same survey by TripAdvisor, 71% travelers say they’d choose rental homes because it gives them ample space to accommodate their large family or friends. When you walk into a hotel room, you might find yourself contemplating options to store your luggage. While they have the essentials like the bed and bathroom, they don’t offer you enough space. So, if you’re planning the kind of vacation where your large family can reunite and relax, or one with multiple kids, hotel rooms may disappoint you.

On the other hand, vacation homes are designed to offer living space, offering you plenty of room with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a decent living room.

2.     More Bang For Your Bucks

62% vacationers say that they are more likely to choose a rental home in the future again because they enjoyed more savings. Hotel rooms have a tendency to lure tourists in with low advertised rates, eliminating the additional costs. Thinking that you’re paying a mere $150 a day, you make bookings, only to realize at the end of your stay the additional services charges, the cost of eating out, laundry charges etc.

Choosing a rental home or villa can be a practical and affordable option. You get to cook within the premises and have access to laundry services. That way you save hundreds of dollars at the end of your stay.

3.     You Enjoy More Privacy

Naturally, hotels are swarming with tourists who are checking in and checking out at all times of the day. It might be difficult to truly enjoy your vacation if you’re looking for something more private and relaxing. Luckily, amongst your rental options, you get to choose private homes and resorts, far from the bustle and noise.

4.     The Many Amenities

TripAdvisor asked vacationers what factors would motivate them to stay at a particular accommodation. They highlighted the following amenities:

·         26% said they’d want a fully equipped kitchen

·         21% people said it was a stunning view

·         9% vacationers wanted a private pool

·         7% said that a washer / dryer and Wi-Fi was important

This may come as a surprise to many people, but vacation rentals offer all these amenities, in addition to many other services that can be requested during a stay.
