Vacation Rental Homes-More Bang for Your Buck
Taking a vacation is a time when you can get some well earned rest, relaxation and spend quality time with your loved ones. When deciding to go on vacation there are many things to consider, such as where you want to go, how long and most importantly where you want to stay. Oregon has unlimited options for vacation sites such as Mt Hood, Bend, Sunriver and the beach just to name a few. Deciding where to go is easy but deciding on where to stay and for how long is a whole other matter.
Most people decide to stay in a hotel, they are easy to find and usually located in central locations. For instance, staying at Lincoln City, a popular vacation site at the Oregon Beach, there are many hotels to choose from. Some offer ocean views, beach access or breakfasts. But as a smart consumer you should consider what you are getting for your hard earned dollar.
A hotel with a beach from or ocean view can run anywhere from $80.00 a night up to $200.00 a night in Lincoln City. Even if you decide you do not need a beach front or ocean view room, hotels can still range from $50.00 to $100.00 a night. Everyone has different criteria, but I think we can all agree that a hotel needs to be within your selected price range.
So let’s look at what that hefty price tag will get you. Most hotels offer a continental breakfast which let’s be honest usually leaves something to be desired. Most continental breakfasts offer muffins, bagels and other pastries along with coffee and juice. Now let’s be realistic, most people are going to be hungry shortly after eating, this is just not enough to keep someone satisfied. So what do you do, you go out to eat and get some real breakfast like bacon, eggs, waffles and pancakes. So by staying in a hotel you might think you are saving money on food but really you are not.
Other hotels offer clean quite rooms. If you have ever stayed in a hotel, you know that house keeping usually comes around nine in the morning. When I am on vacation I want to sleep in a little and relax. Sure my room might be clean but I have to get up early and rush out before they come. Not to mention the check out time is usually eleven in the morning which means I need to be up no later than eight if I want to not be woken up by house keeping and check out on time. This is not relaxing to me. Quiet rooms, now when ever I stay in a hotel, there are always people running around the halls at all hours of the day and night, slamming doors, yelling and usually I can hear the TV from the room next door.
So where can you and your family stay, this is the great mystery. I have your answer, vacation rental homes. At Lincoln City there many vacation homes for all budgets. Typically they range from $100.00 to $250.00 a night depending on what your wants and needs are. Most people want to know the benefits of staying in a vacation home and here you have it! In a vacation home you can bring your own food and cook therefore saving you money clear across the board by not eating out for every meal. House keeping comes when it is convenient for you. All you need to do is put the key back in the lock box when you head out and then house keeping will come. A vacation home offers you more private, candid time with your family, and the best part, it is quiet!
A vacation home might cost you a few extra bucks but in the long run it is worth every penny. You don’t have to worry about so many things that, spending the extra money just makes sense. You need to decide what is most important to you, is it saving a few extra dollars or is it spending a peaceful, relaxing vacation with your family, the choice is yours but hurry your sanctuary awaits.
