We asked Lizzie Vann Thrasher of
Pineapplefish Luxury Villas on Anna Maria Island to provide her thoughts on why vacation rentals are a great option for summer getaways.
Six Reasons for Choosing a Vacation Rental Property for Your Family- Vacation rentals for a family holiday offer many practical conveniences, particularly if you have a young family. Having a kitchen on hand enables you to cater to children by preparing quick snacks, a bottle or even full meals. And you’ll find comfort in knowing you can see your children at all times whether they’re swimming in the pool or playing outside. In the evenings after the kids are tucked in, adults can relax on their terrace enjoying a nice meal and a glass of wine.
- Vacation rentals also enable you to truly spend quality time with family while on holiday. We find lots of families enjoy playing games and activities together that they don’t get the opportunity to do at home. And our Lemonfish house speaks to this with a swimming pool, outdoor toys, and indoor game rooms including ping-pong and fuseball.
- Many rentals are well-suited for multiple family or multigenerational travel, since everyone can sleep comfortably under one roof. And this provides a great cost savings, which is especially appreciated in today’s market!
- Rental homes provide full kitchens which give families the option of dining in, a much less expensive alternative to eating out. On Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, there are Publix grocery stores and several smaller gourmet markets and weekend farmers markets where you can easily find everything you need to cook fresh, local flavors in your own kitchen.
- Families enjoy much more privacy and much more space to relax in a vacation rental than your traditional hotel or resort guestroom.
- At our Pineapplefish Villas, we offer wireless broadband service for our guests. This helps adults and children (in some cases) stay connected without enduring the additional cost you find with several more traditional accommodations.
