1. More Bang for your Buck! Affordability can often be a large part of your decision when choosing your vacation plans. Let me break down a couple examples of different Destin, Florida vacation homes for you. 4 Bedroom Rental with beach views- This property sleeps a total of 12 people. The home rents for an all inclusive price of roughly $2,300 per week during the peak summer time. If you divide that by 12 people the price comes to $191 per person per week or $27 per person per night. You have now got your own private vacation property at an incredible price. For those who enjoy the finer things in life. 7 bedroom Destin rental on the beach- This incredible home is beach front in Destiny by the Sea. It features 7 full suites, private pool, private elevator, roof top deck, movie theater, top of the line finishes. This home rents for roughly $17,000 per week all inclusive during the peak summer season. It sleeps a total of 17 people and that price comes to $1,000 per person per week or $100 per person per night. You can't beat that for a multi million dollar private mansion on the beach. 2. Privacy and Private Amenities Privacy and alone time is something that many people seek during their vacation time. When you stay at a hotel you will be sharing everything outside of the bedroom with every other guest there. Here are several amenities that many Destin private rental homes feature that you wouldn't have to share with other guests. Private Pools, Private Hot Tubs, Private Elevators, Private Beach Access, Private Gourmet Kitchens, Private Movie Theaters, etc... 3. Beach Access When you stay at a hotel you will have to access the elevator, walk out to the beach, and many times find a poor spot on a very crowded beach. If you rent a private beach front home this makes hitting the beach a breeze. You can grab your beach chair from the back porch and have your toes in the sand in under a minute. The beaches will also be much less crowded around private homes as there is much less density than you will find with hotels. (less people) There is nothing easier than having your own private beach at your back door. 4. Private Kitchen in the Home At most hotels you will be forced to either order room service or eat at a restaurant for every meal. Not only does this cost a fortune, but is usually an unhealthy alternative to eating in. It makes life much easier when you can make everyone sandwiches at lunch time and head right back out to the beach or pool. You can also grill out incredible steak dinners at a fraction of the cost of going to an expensive restaurant. Many Destin rental homes come equipped with state of the art kitchens to satisfy even the best chefs. 5. More Space! Even some of the nicest hotel rooms are only 200-600 square feet. You can find Destin Rental Homes as large as 13,000 square feet. If you are staying for 1 or 2 nights then 400 square feet may be adequate. But, when you are trying to enjoy a week or more away then you'll want to enjoy more space to spread out. Why not enjoy a home that has large private porches and several different rooms with large flat screen televisions? The added space of a vacation rental home just adds to the overall enjoyment of the vacation itself.
