The best multigenerational family vacations we have had have always involved a Florida Vacation Rental! Here are 5 reasons why renting a Florida Vacation Home is the perfect multigenerational vacation!
Our family has always planned at least one multigenerational vacation per year with my husband’s parents. We’ve done everything from fishing trips, to camping excursions, to cruises, to three week national park road trips. We’ve even done the iconic Family Disney Vacation.
Save Money Renting a Florida Vacation Home
The number one reason to consider a Florida Vacation Home rental is that you can save money! You may think the cost of a Florida Vacation Home is too expensive for your family. However, by pooling the resources from two families, you can often rent a Florida vacation home for the same or less than the cost of two hotel rooms. Plus you have much more space for everyone to spread out!
Room For Everyone To Spread Out
This leads us to the second reason why renting a florida vacation home is a great way to have a multigenerational family vacation. Space to spread out! We’ve taken cruises and long road trips with three generations. It’s tight. While they are both fun in their own way, the cramped quarters of a hotel room, cruise cabin, or the car for 12 hours can be a little too much for everyone involved. Trust me when I say, if you really want to have a vacation that feels like a “vacation” consider renting a house in Florida. Even if you only rent a two bedroom condo, the kids are often happy to take the sleeper sofa and the adult couples each have their own rooms. Our recent stay in an Anna Maria Island vacation rental was perfect as we all had our own bedrooms, televisions, and plenty of room to ‘get away’ when we needed!
Private Pools
Without a doubt, the kids would all vote for a pool as their #1 reason to rent a pool home in Florida. If I’m honest, the rest of the family might agree. Having a private pool is a great perk to renting a florida vacation home. When my kids were very young, I liked that I could keep a close eye on them without the distraction of other children and the noise of other guests. Now that my kids are older and swim better, I can relax by the pool, cocktail in hand. It’s a bonus that no one is begging me to take them anywhere! Win – win for mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, and the kids!
Varied Interests are Easily Accommodated
Having a home to enjoy while vacationing in Florida really helps when it comes to the varied interests of each family member. Sometimes, you just want to sit by the pool all day and sip margaritas. Other times you want to go for an active adventure out on the water. However, not everyone wants to do the same thing every day. Grandpa may want to watch sports on the TV at the outdoor bar by the pool. The shop-a-holics may need a little retail therapy. Having a vacation home allows everyone the opportunity to choose their activities according to their preferences. And you don’t feel guilty for leaving someone to sit in a hotel room all day.
Relaxed Quality Time
Another reason I think that a Florida rental is the best way to have a multigenerational family vacation is the ability to just relax more. The family is all together in the same house with enough room to spread out, but also be together. When you rent hotel rooms, even if you get adjoining rooms and kitchenettes, it never really feels very relaxing. Vacation homes tend to have fully stocked kitchens, more roomy living spaces with games, televisions, and sometimes even video game consoles. Many Florida vacation homes even have great theming. Who doesn’t love a game room with a pool table or table tennis, and a relaxing large master bedroom with jetted tub? Essentially, you get the comforts of home, the perks of a resort, and a location that you can’t beat!
