Vacation rentals by owner are a more liberal choice; individuals and families will be able to use the house as their own with no limitations whatsoever. They will have more private space for them and their children without the usual restrictions for being quiet at night hours or siesta afternoon hours. Most of the times, the quality of accommodation is so much better than hotels. They will be getting the same cleaning services as in a hotel; the amenities will be better, and nothing will have to be shared with anyone, for instance, the pool will be for them, the garden, the parking, everything will be for them to enjoy.
There are more good news; people who select to rent for their holidays can pinpoint their favorite location in a much better way. When they want a seaside accomodation a few meters from the sea shore, or close to ancient ruins, they have more possibilities to get exactly what they want. For catering facilities, some vacation houses offer breakfast facilities and rent a chef to cook for them in order to have a more restful holiday- it is pointless to do the same routine when you are on vacation, day in day out; after all the point of holidays is to take a rest!
Pricing is becoming competitive although not quite there yet; however, it is possible to find better prices in vacation rentals if you compare it with standard hotel pricing catalogues. Also, it is quite cheaper to book a house for family vacations, compared to ordinary hotel room booking. The overall house daily price might look more expensive if compared to a family room, but if you divide the daily rate by the number of people who will stay, it can get quite cheaper. The only negative point is that hotels have a general rule for providing free accommodation for children up to twelve years old, but this is not the case for house rentals - usually the limit is at the age of five years old or even younger.
The only point where significant progress must be made in vacation rentals by owner accommodations is the cancellation policy. Usually every owner makes their own policy and most of the times there is no refund for the deposit, no matter the percentage to the total amount (usually 20%-30%). Hotels offer a cancellation policy up to two weeks before arrival, and even earlier than that it is possible to get a significant amount of the deposit back.
