Vacation Home Rentals

While vacationing at an all-inclusive resort offers many benefits such as endless amounts of food, bottomless drinks, and maid service, it doesn’t really offer a lot of privacy. Granted, most resorts offer some romantic places for couples to enjoy. At COR for instance, they had several private jacuzzis hidden in the garden path. They are covered by lush vegetation so that does afford you some privacy. However, there’s nothing to keep other people from ignoring the occupied sign. The only place truly private is your room.
For couples who want more privacy, renting a guest house, villa, or vacation home might be a better option. Then you have the entire property to yourself. When we went on the glass-bottom boat tour, we actually saw several of these properties along the coast. The tour guide calls them guest houses. There was also one right next to COR. They are all beautiful. Some have their own swimming pools and jacuzzis. Some have gazebos. And all of them have ocean access.
Our room was on the far end of the resort building so we could see the pool area of the guest house next door from our balcony. At first we thought that the area was part of the resort and we were trying to figure out how to get there. But the next day we noticed there were some kids swimming in the pool. That’s when we realized it was a totally separate property.
The one pictured above is farther down the coast. It is probably my favorite out of all the ones we saw during our trip. Our tour guide said it is owned by an American. Most of these properties are available for rent. You can even find information about them online.
I think vacation homes are a brilliant idea. It’s even better if you are going as a group. Most homes will accommodate several people, which is great because then you can split the rental cost several ways. This is probably the way to go if you are looking for a great family vacation at minimal cost.
I’ll probably pitch this idea to mom and dad. You know I’ve never been to Disney and they’ve got great vacation rentals in the Disney area. These Disney vacation rentals are packed with great features and amenities. The best thing is you pick the property that suits your needs. I think it would be great for all of us, including the kiddos, to go on vacation together.
From browsing the different properties around the Disney area, I found this one. Check out the pictures. It is a beautiful property with lots to offer. Mom and dad, are you reading this? You guys want to go to Disney?
