Top 10 Reasons to choose a Vacation Rental over a Hotel

Vacation Rentals are becoming increasingly popular with vacationers world-wide.  The benefits of choosing a vacation rental over a hotel are numerous but here is a list of our top ten reasons why you should choose a vacation rental over a hotel on your next vacation.  If you like what you read, take the next step to planning your next vacation in a vacation rental on the Outer Banks with Beach Realty & Construction - Kitty Hawk Rentals! Visit us at http://www.beachrealtync.com/.

10. Privacy - A vacation rental provides you the privacy you seek. Unlike hotels with strangers in every hall  and in rooms adjacent to yours, with a vacation rental the only people you'll run into are those you choose to bring along.

9. Spaciousness - Unlike cramped hotel rooms, vacation rentals most often have many rooms as well as a yard and sometimes a private pool for you to enjoy. The spaciousness of  vacation rentals allows you to bring your entire family or group of friends along with you.

8. Peace & Quiet - Too often in hotels you can hear everything that goes on in the rooms near you and in the hall outside your door. If you are seeking peace & quiet from a vacation then a vacation rentals is the way to go.

7. Security - There is no need to hide your valuables everytime you leave the home (Just make sure you lock the doors behind you). No employees or maids will enter the home during your stay unless you request us.

6. Kitchen - Vacation Homes have fully equipped kitchens! This means that you do not have to spend all your money eating breakfast, lunch and dinner out. You can save money by buying groceries and have plenty of food to munch on during your week vacation.

5. Amenities - Many vacation homes are loaded with amenities such as;  pool tables, video games, jacuzzi tubs, foosball, kayaks, beach chairs, bicycles, basketball, DVD & video libraries, books, fireplace, grills, foosball, air hockey, card table, dart board, and so much more, even private pools & hot tubs! Each vacation rental has its own unique amenities that are yours to use during your stay.  It is rare that you find this many amenities in a hotel room.

4. Availability - The Outer Banks has some 80,000 vacation rentals for you to choose from while we only have a handful of hotels. So even if you are looking for a last minute trip or a long weekend stay, there is an excellent chance that there is a vacation rental that will suite your groups' needs.

3. Diversity - Unlike hotels where every room is basically the same, each and every vacation rental is unique in it's own way. We have homes with 2 to 10 bedrooms, Oceanfront to Soundfront (and everywhere in between), Pet-friendly, Handicap accesibility. It is highly likely that you will find a vacation home so perfect for your family/group that you will return to that home year after year!

2. Pet-friendly - In my experience it is extremely difficult to bring your dog on vacation to a hotel - even if the hotel allows dogs - I still feel bad knowing my dog will be cramped up in a small room with me for a week.  Many vacation rentals allow you to bring your pets for a minimal fee so that you will never have to leave your pooch home.

1.  Affordability - Vacation rentals are absolutely, no doubt about it, the best deal for your dollar. While each hotel room can normally only sleep 4 at most, our vacation rentals can sleep up to 22 in one home with no extra charge per person.  Each vacation rental is priced differently, depending on size, amenities, location, etc. so even if you are on a small budget you can surely find a vacation rental with all of the above.

Here is an example breakdown:

You are a family of 5 and you want to bring your parents as well as two of your teenager's friends on vacation, making your group count 9.  The typical hotel room, let's say, costs $200/night.  Your parents want their own room and so does your teenager with his/her two friends as well as you and your significant other and the other two kids.  That is 4 hotel rooms. 

4 hotel rooms for 7 nights at $200/night = $5600.

Now let me show you an example of a vacation rental in that same price range:

Casa De Romance #2003

This Oceanfront, 4 Bedroom beauty is located in Southern Shores with a Private Pool, Hot Tub, Pool Table, Fireplace, Poker Table, Rec room, wireless internet and more! PLUS the rental rate is from $995 to $5095. So as you can see, with vacation rentals you get MUCH more for your dollar.

Great Customer Service makes Customers for Life!

Here at Beach Realty and Kitty Hawk Rentals we pride ourselves in delivering excellent customer service. Making our guests happy puts smiles on our faces. Below are some happy guests of Beach Realty/Kitty Hawk Rentals:

Dear Management or Owners of Beach Realty:

For ten years or more we've been heading to OBX. We (I) waited to the last minute to book a house (yes, like I always do). After several failed on-line attempts with other companies, and yours, we were fortunate to get Dana Breashears to help us out. When she heard the frustration in our voices she quickly went into action and got us a house at a greatly reduced rate in the area we originally wanted to be, Corolla.

Customer service on this level is very rare to find. As a business owner I know all too well the importance of having great emissaries. Dana should be commended for going above and beyond to help us out.

As a result, Beach Realty, now has a customer for life. We want to thank Dana. First for diffusing a frustrated prospect, secondly for sparing me the deadly blows from my wife and third, for getting us down to OBX again.

Thank you Dana, for a job well done. If you're in the area when we're there, feel free to stop by for some Yankee hospitality.

The reservation process was a breeze, much easier than I had expected. It was also very helpful to have the automatic second payment option. Online property search was very helpful and gave great photos. The check in process was super easy, didn't take longer than 2 minutes and we were on our way to our house. Everything was clean and neat when we arrived. We loved the living area and the large living room couch. The whole family could gather in the great room and not be over crowded. Loved the space. Having multiple bathrooms was a nice bonus to have. Great location and great living space. Easy access to the beach and very helpful to have beach chairs and umbrellas to use. The rental process and house was wonderful. The house was just as great as it was in the photos online. I'd defiantly recommend this property and Kitty Hawk Rentals to anyone looking for a great OBX vacation.
