Why You Should Book a Vacation Rental This Holiday Season

Published: October 23, 2024

Instead of dealing with the hustle and bustle of traditional holiday routines, why not trade them in for something exceptional this year? A vacation rental offers a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and personalization that standard accommodations simply can’t match. Indulge in high-end amenities mixed with the creature comforts of your own house all under the backdrop of a beautiful new destination. A holiday spent in a vacation rental strips away the stress and leaves behind only the cheer.

Whether you're hosting a large family gathering or seeking an intimate retreat, the benefits of booking a vacation rental far outweigh other options. Here’s why you should consider a vacation rental this holiday season and how the 100 Collection™ is here to ensure your experience will be nothing short of spectacular.

1. All the Comforts of Home with New Memories

As magical as the holidays are, they usually come with lofty expectations and hurried moments with loved ones. One of the key advantages of booking a vacation rental is the ability to enjoy all the comforts of home while creating fresh memories in a new setting. Unlike a hotel stay, where dining out is often the only option, a vacation rental offers a fully-equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing your favorite holiday dishes. Gather your loved ones in a beautiful, luxurious kitchen, make your signature meal, and share those nostalgic moments—without the usual stress of hosting in your own home.

With convenient amenities like spacious living rooms, private patios, and even outdoor kitchens, you’ll have everything you need to celebrate the holidays in style. Whether it's a cozy dinner with family or family game night in the spacious living area, a vacation rental allows you to keep your holiday traditions alive while offering a new and exciting backdrop for unforgettable experiences.

When the feasting is done, relax on your porch with views of the ocean, the mountains, or something in between. You can create a whole new tradition you’ll never forget while still getting valuable time with your loved ones. You’ll also have the peace of mind that you’re getting the absolute best in quality and service when you book with a 100 Collection™ partner.

2. Space for the Whole Family

As much as you may love your home, the holidays can usually make you feel pretty crowded. Vacation rentals, especially the ones selected by the 100 Collection™, are designed to offer expansive spaces that cater to families and groups of all sizes. No more tight quarters of a holiday hotel room or squeezing everyone on your family room couch. These rentals provide multiple bedrooms, large communal areas, and plenty of space for both relaxation and celebration.

Gather your family and friends in a spacious living room with a roaring fire to exchange gifts or share stories. If you opt to visit somewhere warmer, you can do Christmas on the deck and enjoy the sunshine while spreading cheer. With a luxury vacation rental, you’ll never have to worry about fitting everyone into one space. There's room for everyone to unwind in comfort while still enjoying quality time together. When the kids want to play or the adults want to enjoy a quiet conversation, the separate entertainment spaces allow for just that.

3. Personalize to Your Liking

One of the most appealing aspects of booking a vacation rental is the wide range of personalized options available. Whether you’re looking for a modern penthouse with panoramic views, a beachfront villa, or a charming mountain retreat, vacation rentals offer unparalleled customization to fit your specific holiday vision. Some properties go above and beyond, even decorating for the holidays to add that festive touch.

Go for warm Hawaii or a ski-in/ski-out cabin in Park City, Utah. No matter what you choose, you’ll want to trade in your holidays at home from here on out. The choices don’t stop there—many luxury rentals come equipped with high-end amenities like private pools, hot tubs, home theaters, and gourmet kitchens to make your stay truly exceptional.

By booking through the 100 Collection’s partners, you gain access to a hand-curated selection of luxury vacation rentals, ensuring that each property meets the highest standards of comfort, style, and service. Many partners offer concierge services like private chefs, pre-arrival groceries, and spa treatments so your holiday getaway can be stress-free. No detail is overlooked, making your holiday retreat as luxurious as it is effortless.

4. Trade in Hectic Holidays for Relaxation

Between hosting, cooking, shopping, and decorating, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters: spending quality time with loved ones and enjoying the season. Booking a vacation rental allows you to step away from the holiday hustle and embrace a more focused, relaxed approach to quality time.
Knowing that you don’t have to play host allows you to just unwind and appreciate every moment. Enjoy a morning coffee on the terrace overlooking a serene landscape, take a dip in your private pool, or simply curl up with a good book in front of a cozy fireplace.

Every home and every destination offers something for the entire family. You can entertain to the max or just slow it down to a snail's pace so the holidays don’t go away too quickly. However you and your family want to celebrate, you’re in control when you book a vacation rental. The only question left is, where to?
