Do hotels make you tired? Whether you’re an avid traveler, or a weary business slogger, for the most parts, hotels seem to be all the same. That’s not a bad thing, of course, but if leaving home and staying in typical accommodations is a standard component of your adult life (or even if you travel for enjoyment) and you think that there must be a better way – well, there is. We all know about Airbnb (and some of its “characteristics”) and that seems the easy choice. But if you’re traveling frequently, why not treat yourself to something refreshing.
Travelers are always on the hunt for the next big thing. From hidden gem destinations to secret beaches, there’s a whole world to explore. When it comes to accommodations, travelers are looking for something different than the typical hotel. In fact, 71% of millennial travelers say they’d consider staying at a nontraditional vacation rental.
While beach houses, cabins and condos still reign supreme, travel demand for unusual accommodations is on the rise. Joining barns, castles and treehouses, travel demand for properties on wheels and properties that float is up 30% year over year on Vrbo, including houseboats, yachts, RVs and Airstreams.
