From having enough space for everyone to spread out to having the amenities that make for a convenient trip, sometimes finding accommodation options that check all the boxes for a fun and hassle-free family vacation can be, well, a hassle. Perhaps that’s why the vacation rental industry has become one of the fastest-growing industries in travel and tourism. After all, nothing beats a stay that’s as private as it is enjoyable. Thinking of embarking on a multi-gen adventure in 2024? Here’s why, when it comes to family travel, vacation rentals just make sense, especially when it comes to Placencia, Belize-based vacation rental group Gecko Vacation Rentals.
Why Book Multiple Rooms When You Can Have a Home to Yourself

Undoubtedly one of the biggest advantages that a vacation rental stay has over your typical hotel is the space. Quite often, families struggle to find hotel rooms large enough to accommodate a group larger than four persons and usually end up having to book multiple rooms. With vacation rentals, families enjoy the luxury of having the entire property to themselves, multiple bedrooms and all.
When Amenities (And Activities) Are King

From the kids to the kids at heart, being able to keep everyone occupied and entertained, even when not out on an adventure, can quickly become a deal breaker when it comes to a vacation. Luckily, many rentals offer unique amenities like games, water sports, TVs, and in some cases, even an entire game room. Beyond the games and toys, vacation rentals also come equipped with kitchens and sometimes even a washer and dryer, which takes all the stress out of meals and laundry.
