Advantages To Renting Vacation Villas And Condos

Privacy is a key factor to many tourists, and villa rentals offer the best in privacy. In the past villa rentals have been thought of as luxurious expenditures instead of potential necessities. Villas offer the privacy and space that most hotel chains and resorts cannot.

Private yards offer families with children the opportunity to let the tykes play in the yard while parents relax nearby. Private pools and balconies allow room for parents to enjoy the company of each other and their children while not having to worry about bothering others.

Location

Privately owned rental villas are available pretty much worldwide. Some are conveniently located in or very near cities or metropolitan areas, while others may be located on the beach or in a rural area. Villa rentals in or near a city can be very convenient for those who plan to enjoy all the activities the cosmopolitan city has to offer.

Those villas located near the beach can be a prime area for couples seeking a romantic getaway. The beach also is wonderful for families with small children as it offers endless entertainment and fun. Rental villas located in rural areas allow vacationers to get away from it all.

Self-Catering

Rental villas are nearly always self-catering. Renters are responsible for providing their own food for the duration of their vacation. This option is very desirable if you are trying to cut the cost of eating out. One of the most expensive part of a vacation is the need to dine out every night and pay tips as well as taxes for the experience. This is especially true for locales such as Hawaii where prices are inflated to cover the cost of importing foodstuffs such as dairy from the mainland. For this reason, some prefer renting a villa in city limits or near shopping areas. Self-catering villa rentals offer the ability for guests to cook meals they are accustomed to whilst taking a significant bite out of the vacation expense.

Transportation

Transportation to and from the rental villa may be via public transportation, rental car, taxi, bus, bike or walking. Of course the mode of transportation is highly dependent on the location of the rental villa. A villa in city limits may require only a short walk to and from all areas of interest, while a villa in a rural area may require a rental vehicle. Taxis and other public transportation can be expensive if used on a long-term basis.

Large Group Accommodations

Families aren't the only large parties engaging in villa rentals. Graduating high school seniors are often treated to a vacation by groups of teachers and parents. College students often enjoy a spring break away from school, just to take time to relax between semesters and intensive schoolwork.

Business owners often rent a villa for extended business trips with co-workers. Many public organizations make a special effort each year to reward their members with a vacation of sorts. Villa rentals are the perfect solution to their accommodation requirements. Additionally, many corporations host conferences at timeshare resorts in order to mix a little business in with pleasure.
