More people are eschewing hotels ( Hotels in Split, Croatia ; Hotel Bellevue Split , HOTEL MARJAN Split , HOTEL PARK Split, Hotel DUJAM Split , Hotel Peristil / Split / Dalmatia / Croatia , Hotel President Split , Hotel GLOBO Split ) in favor of vacation homes—and one travel expert says it’s almost always a better choice.

“For most people, especially families with children, staying in a vacation home is better in every way,” asserts Christine Karpinski, a director of HomeAway.com, a vacation home rental website, and author of How to Rent Vacation Properties by Owner (Kinney Pollack Press).

“In the past, people just didn’t understand the benefits of staying in a vacation home,” she adds. “Maybe they assumed it cost too much, or maybe they simply didn’t understand the logistics of finding the right place to stay. But the Internet has changed everything. Not only is it increasingly easy to find the perfect home, it’s often less expensive than getting a hotel room!”

The rental process is getting easier and more convenient by the day. Admittedly, it’s not quite as simple to rent a vacation home as it is to book a hotel room in Split , Croatia You still have to deal directly with the homeowner. Still, it’s pretty darn easy. Services like the aforementioned websites have smoothed the pathway, of course. But also, homeowners themselves are becoming more consumer-friendly in their business practices. Despite popular misconception, you don’t always have to commit to a week. Many homeowners will let you rent by the weekend or even on a nightly basis, particularly during the off-season. And while some of them still expect you to send them a personal check, many others accept credit cards or PayPal.

Vacation homes are more spacious and comfortable. Think about the difference between a tiny hotel room, possibly with limited amenities, and an actual home with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms and kitchens, living and dining areas. No contest, right? I’ve found that people who stay in private homes don’t feel so compelled to wear themselves out cramming in every touristy activity in town. They don’t mind just hanging out in the living room and relaxing more, which after all, is what a vacation is supposed to be,” says Karpinski. 

You can live like a local. No one wants to feel or look like a tourist, an “outsider.” When you stay in someone’s home, you get a more authentic experience, says Karpinski. “My family stayed in a private home when we went to Italy and it was wonderful,” she recalls. “The bread trucks came by every morning! You’re just not going to get those kinds of experiences in a hotel.
“Plus, rental owners often provide special touches that make the experience more homey,” she adds. “Cottages might come equipped with sand buckets and shovels for the kids; woodsy ski-resort-area cabins might have a Crock-Pot and a special chili recipe. Those little special touches really make a huge difference.”

You can get inside information from the homeowner. One big reason vacation home renters get to “live like locals” is that most homeowners love to provide their guests with helpful hints. They’ll point you to the best restaurants in town, the best hiking trails, and the best bike rental places. They’ll tell you who has the cheapest gas, which roads to take to avoid traffic, and which attractions are overpriced “tourist traps.” “If you’re staying in New England, a homeowner might tell you things like ‘Never buy lobster from the grocery store; go to the docks and get it fresh,’” says Karpinski. “You really are a guest in her home, and she wants you to have a fabulous time.”

You can cook and do laundry. If you’re on a budget, both of these factors can be huge benefits. Obviously, eating every meal in a restaurant gets pricey. The ability to prepare meals “at home” not only saves money, there’s just something nice about savoring a home-cooked meal while on vacation. As for the washer and dryer factor—well, being able to bring fewer clothes is not only a sanity saver during packing, it’s a space saver for those long car rides.

If the weather’s bad, there’s more to do indoors. Most vacation rental homeowners provide DVDs, board games, playing cards, and other family-friendly diversions. Also, more than half of all rental properties now have Internet access. “If it pours down rain during your vacation, you’ll appreciate these kinds of thoughtful extras,” says Karpinski.

Vacation homes provide more privacy for Mom & Dad. Let’s say you want to have some, ahem, adult time while you’re on vacation. There’s nothing better than being able to put the kids in a separate bedroom down the hall. “Adjoining hotel rooms just aren’t the same,” notes Karpinski. “Not only is it going to probably be more expensive, most people feel a little uneasy about having their kids in a separate hotel room. Staying in an actual home provides a greater sense of privacy and safety.”

You might even be able to bring Fido or Fluffy. That’s right. Many vacation property owners will accept pets, which makes their homes especially attractive to families who can’t bear to part with their four-footed friends for a week. “Even if you normally drop your pets off at the kennel, you might want to reconsider,” says Karpinski. “By taking them with you, you can save hundreds of dollars on boarding costs. Just make sure the person you’re renting from gives you the go-ahead.”
“Once you go the vacation home route, you probably won’t go back to hotels,” says Karpinski. “Yes, it takes a little effort on your part—and you may have to contact several different owners before you find the right home—but the results are definitely worth it.”
