Booking a Vacation Rental? Consider These Factors First

Consider these factors before booking your next vacation rental.

Choosing a vacation rental is an essential part of making the most of any vacation. After all, coming back to a spacious and comfortable rental home makes it much easier to put your feet up, relax, and enjoy your entire stay! What should you look for as you choose your next vacation rental? Make sure you consider the following crucial elements before making your reservation

How Many Beds You Need

Many vacation rental listings include a note about how many people the house will sleep, but that number might not be entirely accurate. For example, vacation rentals may consider a full or queen bed as an adequate sleeping space for two. While those beds will fit a couple with ease, you might need an additional bed if the single members of your party, including your children, aren’t interested in sharing. 

How Much Privacy You Want

In a hotel room, two queen beds can comfortably sleep four people for a night or two, and the same sometimes goes for a vacation rental. However, if you want the opportunity for privacy, you may want to consider rentals with multiple bedrooms. 

You may also want to consider how much privacy you want from nearby properties. For example, in condos or apartment-style rentals, you may be much closer to your neighbors, which may mean more noise. Renting a house can offer you more space and privacy.

How Much Time You Plan to Spend At Your Vacation Rental 

If you’re planning an adventure-filled vacation that will keep you out of the rental property for most of each day, you may not care what amenities the rental offers, as long as it has bedrooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen. 

However, if you know that you will want to spend some relaxing time indoors, you may want more amenities. This can be especially beneficial to multi-generational families vacationing together with a variety of interests. 

You should also consider the amount of time you spend in each room of your rental during vacation. While features like private pools may sound tempting, if you’re only going back to the rental to sleep, it may not be worth the additional cost. But, if you have several family members who prefer the pool to the ocean, it may be a perfect choice.

Cleaning Procedures of The Rental Company

COVID-19 has made many people more conscious of cleaning needs. Before selecting your rental, it’s worth knowing what is expected of you as a guest and what cleaning procedures are provided by the property owner or rental company. For example, the company may ask you to go ahead and toss a load of towels in the wash so that they’ll be clean by the time the cleaning company arrives. You might also need to make sure that all dishes are washed before you leave.
