| | Hotels aren’t the only place you can stay on vacation!!!Written by Joe Collinsworth
Today, we as travelers have a ton of options to consider. Where to go, how to get there, where to stay, what to take, how to plan, where to find deals… You get point. Well, this article is to introduce you to options on where to stay other than a hotel.Hotels are a great option. They can be just what you need for your trip, especially if it’s just two of you. You can go with big chains that are well trusted or small chains that may take some digging to ensure you get a nice, clean, affordable hotel room with everything you need. However, if you travel with a number of people or as a family, a hotel room can get cramped, lack privacy, and get expensive when you upgrade to suites and add extra amenities (like a kitchenette). Hotels though are great because it is easy to find a lot of good deals with all viable travel sites out there. But, you do have other options…. **How about a condo? Condos are great, and in some destinations main option. Condos can be small or big. They offer added space, extra amenities, prime locations, and at prices that are comparable to hotel rooms. For example, we stayed in a quaint (small) condo in Miami. We rented it for only $400 for week. It was perfect for my wife and I. The beds pulled down out of wall, we had a very very clean room, private entrance to place and beaches, quiet area, 2 pools, a kitchen with equipment, a nice bathroom, cable, and gorgeous view of Atlantic. It was our “love shack” for week and much cheaper by almost $200 than any hotel in area. **Rent a home. These are now great with way real estate is nowadays. If you are traveling with a large group, then this may be your best choice. Get everything you need or live like luxury in a beachfront home for your vacation. Once, 18 of our family members went to Florida and had to rent a home. It was not on Ocean, but on a bay. It was perfect. It had 3 levels, a hot tub, pool, 4-5 bedrooms, plenty of room, amenities, and lots of fun. We had a great time together since everyone lives in different parts of country. It was very affordable once split up 4 ways also.
