Some vacationers book themselves a resort vacation without taking into account the benefits of leasing vacation rental cottages. There are some vacation rental leases that could turn into purchases if you love the site enough (see Outer Banks rental homes). Resort rentals are often expensive and a bit limiting compared to spending your holidays in a vacation rental cottage.

Imagine being in a fully booked resort hotel and as guests who booked early, you feel lucky enough to have found a vacant hotel room. However, the bad news is that you do not have the option to change rooms when you realize that your next door neighboor is more than a bit noisy. Food in hotels is expensive because hotel restaurants offer “luxury” comfort food that are presented well and cooked by a professional chef. Wouldn’t you rather bring your own groceries straight to the cottage and cook your dinner yourself, all the while enjoying the beach scenery?

However, there is one aspect of a resort hotel stay that you could be missing if you decided to lease a vacation rentals cottage. Room service. A chambermaid cleans your room daily, and replenishes your towels and toiletries. If you are having an all-nighter party (and being the noisy neighbor to someone else) late night room service can come in handy. You can call for meals and a few drinks at any time.
