When you’re planning a vacation, you have a lot of options to choose from. You can travel across Europe, visit a remote island, or stay somewhere here in the United States.
You can go to the mountains, the beach or enjoy city life. You can travel by train, airplane or automobile. You can stay in a hotel, cabin, tent, traditional bed and breakfast, motel, Airbnb or vacation home. You can even opt for a staycation. With so many choices to choose from, it can be tricky to narrow it down.
Staycations offer several perks. You might save a few pennies and you’ll have the comforts of home. However, the downside is, you could easily be interrupted by neighbors, friends or family. If you aren’t careful, a staycation can mimic your everyday life. You might even be tempted to get some projects done around the house. That means that by the end of your staycation, you may feel more tired than you did at the beginning.
A hotel or motel may be convenient and more traditional. However, many of these rooms can’t offer the same comforts of home. Most hotels and motels offer rooms with a comfy bed, a TV and a desk. Some even include a small microwave and a refrigerator. However, most standard rooms are limited to one room and a bathroom. You’ll need to purchase multiple rooms if you’re traveling with a large group. Plus, a single room can feel cramped after a couple of days.
Thankfully, there is an option that allows you to get the comforts of home while enjoying time away (without the interruptions or distractions of home). You can stay in a short-term rental. A short-term rental is really the ultimate choice. You can choose one anywhere, whether you want to get back to nature or enjoy the nightlife in the city. Most short-term rental homes have full kitchens and multiple bathrooms. You can choose the size of home that works for you with the number of bedrooms you need.
You’ll also have a living area that you can host guests in, instead of a hotel lobby. Plus, short-term rentals are usually more affordable than booking several nights at a hotel because you can split the cost with your travel companions. You can also find short-term rental properties that come with added perks like sound systems, gaming systems, streaming services, Wi-Fi private hot tubs, pools, family board games and more.
You may have a lot of options when it comes to planning your next trip, but if you weigh those options you’ll quickly find the choice that best meets your needs. We hope that wherever you end up traveling to, you get to enjoy a little adventure and a lot of relaxation.
