1.Vacation Villa Rental vs. a Hotel Room
Most private vacation homes offer 4-5 times more space than you will find in the typical hotel room often at smaller nightly rate. Typical hotel room is 200 SF; most of rental properties are between 1,000-4,000 SF.
Vacation rental homes often contain many personal & convenience items that will increase the comfort of the guest. This is truly a home away from home concept.
Unlike a typical hotel room, most private vacation homes include fully equipped kitchen and private laundry.
Homeowners are often able to provide you with tips and suggestions that only the locals know. This can make a huge difference in the enjoyment of your trip.
Most of vacation villas are used frequently by their owners and kept very clean for this reason. No one gives a property more attention than its owner and all have local management companies to look after the properties and their guests
Renting a private vacation villa offers the great value, affordability, and personal attention by homeowner.

It is totally up to homeowner to let guests with pets in or not. Some owners do not allow absolutely any pets in their home. Please do not take it personally. It is usually not because they do not like pets.
