Today’s busy convention goers are discovering an alternative to staying in motels and even more expensive hotels. While traditional hotels / motels offer nice rooms and some amenities, they lack the personal charm and home-from-home feel of a vacation home. Many of these large single-family homes combine the luxury and convenience that today’s convention goers seek. They also allow guests to enjoy things that simply cannot be found in a hotel / motel.

Rent, rent, rent

For example, some of these homes located in the heart of Anaheim are conveniently located just minutes from the Anaheim Convention Center. This is an attribute that busy convention goers can really appreciate as it allows guests to be close to where they need to be on a daily basis. It also allows small business groups / teams to stay in one residence, rather than being scattered across multiple hotel / motel suites or even different hotels. A home in Anaheim also means guests are just minutes from the resort’s Mecca which includes the two Disneyland theme parks, Disneyland and Disneyland Adventure, plus downtown Anaheim, Knott’s Berry Farm, and the many shops and restaurants at Anaheim Resort. . However, many of these homes, like those in Anaheim, will be located in quiet neighborhoods, a nice contrast to the busy hotels / motels often found on noisy main streets.

Services inside and out

Most vacation homes have four and five bedrooms with 2.5 to 3 baths. And unlike many hotel rooms, they typically feature gourmet kitchens, each with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and breakfast bars. Kitchens generally have pots, pans, bakeware, kitchen utensils, plates, silverware, even kitchen towels and paper towels, just like in a normal home. Many homes also include elegantly designed living areas with large-screen smart TVs, video game consoles, Internet access, board games, poker tables, and foosball. Some homes will have a fireplace and air conditioning to ensure year-round comfort. Also included is a washer and dryer for home convenience.

Private pool / Spa / BBQ

Like a hotel, vacation homes will have a private, enclosed in-ground pool and a relaxing spa or hot tub. But unlike a hotel / motel, these areas will be populated only with people from your team or group of one, for maximum privacy. Guests staying in a hotel / motel generally do not have access to a barbecue. Vacation homes, on the other hand, allow guests to grill store-bought steaks, shrimp, or ribs and enjoy a delicious meal on the patio overlooking the pool / spa. These houses usually include a large outdoor dining table and chairs. Lastly, many of these houses offer optional cleaning services, just like an expensive hotel.
