Vacationing and COVID 19: Why a Vacation Home Rental is Best

Updated: Oct 10, 2022

Due to the pandemic lockdown and distancing people are desperately looking for ways to escape, and stay safe at the same time. Booking a vacation home seems like the best solution! You get to enjoy the beach or outdoors, get some needed sun and fresh air and maybe a chilled drink and some fun social time with close friends and family. Most people will try to avoid crowded places like adventure parks, large cruises, busy hotels and even air travel so one of the best options for a safer, fun and relaxing vacation is booking your own vacation home.


Vacation rentals like Zula Beach in Destin, Florida and South Padre Island, TX offer many great benefits that make them the perfect option for a great vacation with your friends & family.


Here are 9 excellent reasons to consider a beach vacation home right now:


Thoroughly Cleaned

On average, the staff at hotel chains are expected to clean each room in about 33 minutes. That isn’t much time to ensure you clean and disinfect every surface. Meanwhile, those who clean our private vacation homes can take the hours needed to meticulously clean and sanitize the home between guests. This ensures a healthy environment for every new guest.


Contactless Check-In

During this time of social distancing, we should all do our best to limit contact. This can be difficult to do when staying in a traditional hotel. Our vacation homes offer completely contactless check-in. No meeting up with anyone or standing in line to get a key. Simply use the door code you’re given online and start your vacation!


Big Enough for Everyone

Planning a big family vacation? Want to get away with friends while still avoiding contact with the public? Our private vacation homes are big enough to accommodate large groups. You can enjoy time together while staying in, enjoy the pool and the yard, cook, grill & eat together and even have the kids go to bed early while adults stay up late and keep enjoying.


No Shared Public Spaces

Short-term vacation rentals are big enough to accommodate your family and friends, and you can rest assured no strangers will be in the house with you. You won’t be sharing recirculated air, elevators, stairwells, or a lobby with other people.

Private Pool

Another space you won’t have to share is the swimming pool. Each of our vacation homes have a private swimming pool. This means you can enjoy swimming, splashing, and relaxing by the pool without a single worry or concern. Our pools are also maintained professionally twice a week and get much less use than the average complex or hotel.


Fully Stocked Kitchen

Private vacation homes also offer private kitchens. Not only that, but all of our kitchens are fully stocked with all the pots, pans, and dishes you need to cook throughout your vacation. This means you can avoid eating out in restaurants entirely if you so choose, saving you money and further limiting your contact with the general public.


Walk To The Beach

The beaches at Destin Florida are known to be the most beautiful beaches in the US! The soft white sand, the turquoise water, and the amazing weather are a perfect combination for a great beach vacation! If you’ve never been, you gotta see it for yourself, and if you have been, you already know, there is no competition for these amazing beaches that are a short walk away from our vacation homes. You don’t even need to look for parking or use public transportation! Just walk down the street and you’re at the beach.


Front Door Deliveries

Don’t like the idea of cooking your own meals while on vacation? Or do you prefer not to head to a local grocery store even if you don’t mind the cooking part? Staying in a short-term vacation rental means you can have takeout, groceries, and all other deliveries brough straight to your front door, making life easier for both you and the delivery person.


Feels Like Home

Last but not least, our short-term vacation rentals feel like home. Considering you’ve been surrounded by the comforts of home for the past several weeks, sacrificing any of those in order to stay in a hotel is sure to be more noticeable than ever. Fortunately, you don’t have to do that. A vacation rental home offers all of those comforts, and may even add a few extra luxuries for good measure.
