Whistler VRBO benefits :: Pros and cons of vacation rentals vs Whistler hotels
Vacation rentals appeal to Whistler visitors for many reasons, including cheaper nightly rates, more floorspace, and no tips, parking fees or service charges that are expected by Whistler hotels.
Whistler condo and chalet rentals by owner most often feature fully-equipped kitchens for cooking, living rooms for entertaining or simply relaxing, and the appeal of vacationing in a real neighborhood amongst the locals.
Owner-direct Whistler rental properties are usually privately owned vacation homes with facilities that owners enjoy such as sports equipment, games, Internet access, DVD libraries and books. Unlike Whistler hotels, vacation rentals by owner are lacking brand recognition, typical reservation systems, and on-site staff to deal with rental issues.
“Booking a Whistler rental home directly from the owner may be outside your comfort zone, but the advantages are totally worth it.”
Cons of vacation rentals by owner include being unfamiliar with the property, lack of on-site staff, and concerns about cleanliness. With a little effort, Whistler travellers can reduce or eliminate these cons by dealing directly with the rental home owner. Whistler owners can provide photos of the rental home, a written rental agreement with emergency phone numbers, along with references from previous happy guests.
The benefits of private vacation rentals by owner outweigh the potential cons, with many vacation rentals offering more space (multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, separate living areas), more amenities (fully equipped kitchens, fireplaces, private hot tubs), convenient locations (on the golf course, ski-in/ski-out, Whistler Village in real neighborhoods) and cheaper prices than hotels.
