Hotel vs Vacation Rental on 30A: What You Should Choose and Why
Booking a Vacation Rental Is Better Than a Hotel
Choosing the right place to stay is an important decision that will impact your entire vacation, so you don’t want to take it lightly! Although hotels offer many conveniences, nothing tops staying in your own vacation rental. Here are just some of the reasons why.
Live Like a Local
Our vacation rentals are in the residential parts of town, allowing you to immerse yourself in the laidback lifestyle of your vacation destination. This is especially beneficial if want a “local” experience versus a tourist vacation.
Privacy
In a hotel, you’ll likely have neighbors above, below, across from, and on either side of you. Even with the door closed, there only a certain level of privacy. In a vacation rental, your nearest neighbor may be acres away! Enjoy listening to music whenever you like and spending time outside without others watching. Adagio is a condominium community, which means you will share walls with your neighbors. But they are built soundly, are quiet, but also offer the convenience of a condo.
Amenities
Renting a vacation home or condo gives you all the comforts of home. Our properties have a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, a balcony, and more than one bathroom. No more fighting over who showers first or eating out if you’re not in the mood. Many of our condos also have washers and dryers. The community amenities at Adagio are second to none, including two pools, a hot tub, private beach access, a fitness center, parking, and grilling areas.
More Space
Hotel rooms can be rather small and don’t offer places to unwind and relax on your own. If you’re traveling with children or other couples, it is nice to have space for yourselves. Vacation homes and condo rentals give everyone in your party more space to spread out and find a moment of private solace.
Large Group Travel Is Easier
In a hotel, large groups will have to split up in multiple rooms. These rooms can sometimes be spread throughout the building, making coordination and spending time together difficult. At a vacation rental, however, large groups can stay together and cut costs by splitting the rental fee.
Tips for Vacation Rental First-Timers
Now that you know why staying in a vacation rental is a great idea for you and your loved ones, let’s talk about the logistics. Whether you’ve stayed in a rental in the past or not, it’s always a good idea to have a checklist prior to booking your home away from home. Here are some tips we hope you will find helpful:
Book Early
Do your research and discover the dates of the high-season and off-season of your destination. During busy season, vacation rentals on 30A tend to book several months in advance, and availability can be limited. Booking early gives guests their first choice of units and travel dates.
Be Specific
Know what your family or group needs before beginning the booking process. How many bedrooms do you need? How many guests does your vacation rental need to accommodate? What amenities are important to you? Get familiar with our rentals and amenities so you can make an informed decision.
Know the Floor Plan
One of the nice things about a vacation home is that it is much bigger than a cramped hotel room. Beyond the single room of a hotel suite, vacation rentals have a variety of floor plans. Guests can select layouts that are more accessible or have desired spaces to accommodate your needs.
Places to Gather
A key feature of our vacation rentals is the gathering spaces they offer. If you’re traveling with a small group, you can select from one of our three-bedroom units. If you plan to bring along a larger party, you’ll want to make sure that you choose a spacious home for your trip, like our four-bedroom condos.
