Well, that may not be exactly what the studies said, but hear us out on this.
We’ve been doing some reading on why people take vacations and the benefits of a good vacation. There is a surprising amount of agreement among many experts that (we feel) shows why you should choose Five Star Vacation Rentals for your next family getaway.
Surveys show that the number one reason for going on vacation is to relax together as a family. At Five Star Vacation Rentals, we offer a unique opportunity to make your precious vacation time more enjoyable and more relaxing for your entire family.
Here’s just one example. Let’s imagine that you plan a family vacation and make reservations at a nice hotel in Big Bear or near the ocean in Southern California. This is the way most people plan their vacations, so what could be wrong with that? Well, let’s take a closer look.
You travel most of the day and arrive at the hotel in the early evening. The first thing most families do after checking into their room is to get something to eat. Unlike a Five Star Vacation Rental, your hotel room does not have a full kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, so you head out to the nearby restaurant. This is where the trouble begins.
You have to wait over an hour for a table because the place is packed with other families who checked into their rooms just a few minutes earlier than you did. When you finally get a table, it’s right next to the kitchen, and the guy in the booth next to you is a long-haul trucker taking a load of live skunks to a nearby nature preserve. With the kitchen noise on one side and the aroma on the other, you all decide to cut your losses and just order whole wheat toast with grape jelly. To go.
Once back at your room, you eat your cold toast and start channel surfing as the kids bounce up and down on the beds. There’s not much on TV, so you’re thankful the beds have plenty of bounce to them. The pool is closed for repairs, but the kids soon discover the fun of playing with the ice machine down the hall. Your youngest daughter returns to the room and tells you she overheard a conversation between two guests walking down the hallway. “Daddy,” she asks you, “what’s a ‘Probation Officer,’ and why would somebody try to hide from one?” At a Five Star Vacation Rental the only guests down the hall are the ones you brought with you. Big difference.
Before you know it everybody starts yawning, and its time to call it a night. It’s been a very long day. Unlike a Five Star Vacation Rental which would have three or more full bedrooms, there are only two beds in your hotel room. You get the kids tucked into one bed where they commence squirming and fighting over the blankets. They quiet down after just a few short hours, and everybody starts falling asleep. With any of our vacation rental cabins you could each have your own bedroom. Another big advantage in our favor.
A few moments after you start to drift off to the wondrous land of vacation dreams, you learn that the Ukrainian hockey team in the room above you has just arrived home for the night and needs to get in just a bit more practice for tomorrow’s match. While you’d really rather be sleeping, the entire family marvels that there is a distinct difference between the sound made by a body check and that of a body slam when heard in your room below. Your oldest son tries to recreate the sound with his little sister, but he quickly learns she just doesn’t sound the same when slammed to the floor. Fortunately, the doctor at the Emergency Room assures you that your daughter’s arm will be perfectly fine after the cast comes off in about 8 weeks. Once you all return to the room, you find the hockey team upstairs has finally gone to bed, and so do all of you. It’s been a very long day.
