Beach rentals are a great way to get everyone together for your important
event. They are often more affordable, more intimate and more fun then putting
everyone up in a hotel. When renting, you can look for a few homes that are all
in the same area to create a little community for everyone during their
stay.
First of all, if you are expecting everyone to come in for a long weekend,
for instance, Thursday to Sunday, then a beachside rental is by far the cheaper
way to go. With a vacation home, you are paying one overall fee and can have
multiple couples sometimes families staying under the same roof. Of course, the
property owners will want you to be respectful of their suggested maximum for
the house.
Renting a large three story home with pullout sofas and floor space can host
multiple families. When you have more people staying in the home, the fee
becomes divided into smaller and smaller portions and families ultimately end-up
with a smaller bill then what they would have at a hotel.
You are also saving money by encouraging the use of the home's kitchen. Aside
from the reception or rehearsal dinner, your guests could really save money by
cooking meals at the beach rentals. The cost of meals in destination communities
can add up, especially for large groups, so having access to a kitchen is a
great help.
Just having all of your guests under the same roof or roofs can give the
whole weekend an intimate and memorable feel. Families that have grown adult
children in attendance can have the kids and grandkids all under the same roof
again. If you have more than one home rented, then you can encourage sharing
cooking responsibilities from home to home. Maybe you could host a welcome party
at one house and a breakfast at another.
Beach rentals are also a lot of fun for your guests. They can enjoy ritzy
living for a weekend. Not everyone can afford a home that is directly on the
ocean. Yet, for a weekend you can live in the lap of luxury, pretending that
it's your beachside pool and hot tub. Or, that the luxuriously private view of
the ocean is all yours.
Families will enjoy the convenience of being able to take the kids to the
ocean whenever they want. They won't have to pack everything up from the hotel
room, cart it all downstairs, throw it in the rented car and drive it to the
public oceanfront. With a rental, you can just throw on the kids' swimsuit and
sunscreen and let them make sandcastles in the backyard all day. Imagine a
vacation without hotel parking lots and cranky kids in the back seat.
Beach rentals are a fabulous way for your family and wedding guests to enjoy
your destination event. Consider renting a few all together to really encourage
memory making.
