Lodging around Daytona Beach is pretty easy to find……as this is a tourist town and set up to accommodate. To find perfect lodgings in Daytona – you do need to ask yourself a few questions. What do you need to enjoy your vacation? Kitchen? Washer – Dryer? Nice Pool? Oceanfront ?? Economical?? These are the types of lodgings that are most frequently found::
· Vacation Rental – Condo Rentals
· Vacation Rental – Home Rentals
· Hotels/Motels
Vacation Rentals – Condo Rentals A condo at a resort location that is rented out by owner. Typically, will save you money over renting thru front desk. Most condos have some kitchen facilities and possibly washer-dryer in condo or laundry facility on site as well. Usually will be geared towards travelers, typically will have superior amenities that are shared with rest of resort guests – can include indoor or outdoor pools, tiki bars, dining facilities – spa facilities, restaurants and/or workout facilities. A resort situation typically will be more tolerant of noise, unusual hours and children. Typically you will be able to see pictures of the room and know where it is in the building before arrival and can be particular when choosing your room based on what owners have to offer. Room furnishings, type and conditions vary from owner to owner, so get as much information as you can and try to get referrals if possible. May have restrictions on rental dates.
Vacation Rentals – Home Rentals A home rental will be a non-resort location. Can be free standing home or in a multi unit building. Typically, you will have the greatest amount of privacy at this type of location, but you may sacrifice amenities. If in a multi unit building, you are at the mercy of other others in the building and must behave as they require. Typically you will be able to see pictures of the room and know where it is in the building before arrival and can be particular when choosing your room based on what owners have to offer. Room furnishings, type and conditions vary from owner to owner, so get as much information as you can and try to get referrals if possible. May have restrictions on rental dates.
Hotels/Motels A Hotel – Motel will be the most expensive option. You will normally see your room when you arrive, and often can negotiate to get a better location if you are not happy with room location. You will expect to have amenities similar to what you find in a resort. You will not normally have a washer – dryer or kitchen facilities. You will normally find some sort of restaurant or snack shop on site. No restrictions on rental dates. I am often asked for hotel numbers and locations of hotels and motels in the area, I also like to refer people around special events because condos do tend to book up early for events. Here is a list of hotels-motels, broken into locations…. Ask if you have additional questions.
