Popular Palm Springs Vacation Rentals: Cheaper Than Hotels?
by Phoenix Delray


Palm Springs vacation rentals are available in a wide variety of types of homes. From apartments and condominiums to villas and houses, many vacationers are finding that they prefer staying in one of these rented homes while they are on vacation as opposed to staying in a hotel. There are many reasons that people take this route instead of the traditional hotel room stay.

First of all, staying in a hotel many times is actually more expensive than staying in a vacation rental unit in Palm Springs. On average, a unit in Palm Springs costs about $30 per night per person, which is less than someone would pay for a hotel room! These homes that people stay in for short term lengths of time are very popular because they are real homes, not just rooms. The condos, apartments, villas, and cottages are used so that people can go on vacation without missing the usual accommodations that they have when they are in their real homes. These include things like fully stocked kitchens with modern appliances, entertainment electronics that are top of the line, and opportunities to relax in pools, saunas, hot tubs, and on beautifully landscaped yards and porches. There are a lot of different sizes of rentals that people can choose from. The average hotel room is only 300 sq. feet in size, but the smallest average Palm Springs vacation rentals are about 700 sq. feet. People get more for their money when they stay in these homes.

Outside of the homes that people stay in are usually things like great shopping, beautiful golf courses, five star restaurants, and entertainment venues of all kinds. Many of the properties that people rent are found within guarded or gated communities too, for ensuring safety. Many of the most requested homes are the ones that are right on the beach, which also makes them very popular with people who are going on their honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary or special occasion. There are also many who stay in these homes while they are in the city for business as well.

Some of the most common amenities that vacationers find in the homes are things like spas and bath houses, microwaves, coffee makers and grinders, barbeque grills, blenders, DVD and Blu ray players, surround sound systems, big screen TVs, and linens of the fines quality draped over the beds. Sometimes the refrigerators are fully stocked when vacationers arrive, and markets are usually very close nearby so that they can easily be refilled as needed. With all of the benefits of choosing Palm Springs vacation rentals as opposed to hotels, it is no wonder that people flock to these homes all year long.
