🏡 Why Vacation Rentals Are Better Than Hotels for Families in Central Florida

The Ultimate 2025 Guide to Smarter, More Comfortable Travel

Brought to you by Recio Hospitality Group – Where Family Comfort Meets Florida Fun

When planning a family vacation to Central Florida, most travelers instinctively consider booking a hotel — but for today’s modern families, that may not be the best option.

In 2025, vacation rentals have become the top choice for families visiting Orlando, Kissimmee, and the surrounding areas — and for good reason. From extra space and full kitchens to private pools and more flexibility, a rental home can transform your trip from hectic to harmonious.

Here’s why choosing a Recio Hospitality vacation rental is not just a smarter move — it’s a game-changer for your family's travel experience.

🛏️ 1. More Space = Less Stress

Vacation Rentals:

• Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms

• Separate living, dining, and sleeping areas

• Kids can nap or go to bed while adults relax

Hotels:

• One shared room for everyone

• Limited privacy and cramped spaces

• Harder to keep early sleepers and night owls happy

✅ Why It Matters: Families need space to breathe — especially after long park days.

🍳 2. Full Kitchens Save Money & Time

Vacation Rentals:

• Cook breakfast, prep snacks, or enjoy dinner in

• Store leftovers, groceries, and baby food

• Eat healthy and stick to dietary needs

Hotels:

• No kitchen access (maybe a mini fridge & microwave)

• Eating out for every meal adds up fast

• Fewer options for picky eaters or special diets

💡 Real Savings: Cooking even 1–2 meals a day can save you $50–$150 per day for a family of 4–6.

🏊 3. Private Amenities Make the Stay More Fun

Vacation Rentals:

• Private pools, game rooms, hot tubs, laundry, and backyard space

• No lines for the slide or crowds at the pool

• Great for extended families or multi-family trips

Hotels:

• Shared amenities (if any)

• Crowded pools, limited hours, and less privacy

• Laundry is a paid service or shared facilities

🌴 At Recio Hospitality, many of our homes offer:

• Heated private pools

• Themed kids’ bedrooms

• In-home arcade and movie rooms

• Smart TVs with streaming access

  
  

🎟️ 4. Stay Close to the Action — Without Paying Resort Fees

Vacation Rentals:

• Located minutes from Disney World, Universal, and ICON Park

• Free parking, no resort or surprise fees

• Local neighborhood feel = more relaxing and secure

Hotels:

• Parking fees, resort fees, and additional charges

• Longer wait times for elevators, check-ins, and crowds

📍 Recio homes are in top-rated communities in Kissimmee and Davenport — close to everything, yet peaceful.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 5. Family-Friendly Layouts & Flexibility

Vacation Rentals:

• Cribs, high chairs, playrooms, and outdoor space

• Wash laundry midweek, pack lighter

• Spread out and stick to your family’s rhythm

Hotels:

• No room to roam

• Families must work around hotel cleaning schedules

• No backyard, BBQ, or quiet spaces

👶 Traveling with toddlers or teens? Vacation rentals offer routines and independence that hotels can’t match.
