7 stress-saving tips for your large family vacation rental
Planning time
1. Start earlyIf you are looking for a place that will fit all the kids, grandparents and pets, plan your getaway as early as you can. Large villas are popular and many of them are booked by Christmas time. Check out some of our villas where you can enjoy meals together, relax and spend quality time together.2. Use social media for planningSet up your free private group for all decision makers using one of the many social media platforms - Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, Google Docs, TripIt – you name it. It’s a great timesaving way of sharing information in real-time and you can add documents that each person can download as needed.
Decision time
3. Rent a home with en-suite bedroomsWho likes to wait in line for the bathroom? No one. Avoid the stress and pick a place where each bedroom includes a bathroom. Your family will love you for it! Check out beautiful Villa Nevia with 5 bedrooms.4. Who doesn’t love a guest house?Large families benefit greatly by having the extra space of a guest house. This is usually a great solution for grandparents or other couples that want to stay close to the family but still enjoy their privacy. Check out charming Villa Catalpa and its two guest houses (6 bedrooms in total).5. Be a neighborMany property owners have homes that are in close proximity of each other. If you can’t find a big enough home for the whole group, renting two smaller homes may be a great solution. See Villa Terra Rossa-Villa Terra Nera or Villa Cipresso-Villa Moro.
Kids and logistics
6. Prepare to keep the kids busyVillas with large terraces or playgrounds are very popular with family guests. Many of the larger villas offer kids’ playground, and even sport facilities. Others have generous landscaping that is fenced for everyone’s safety. See Villa Del Mare (9bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchen, plenty of facilities) or Villa San Rocco for 9 guests.7. Rent a carLarge families = lots of luggage. Save money on taxi rides and secure yourself a car for your stay. Guests that book through Charming Croatia enjoy lower rates, no payment in advance, and complimentary insurance.
