Unlike hotels, you do not have 100 other guests under the same roof and there is no worry that excessive noise on the other side of the wall or in the hallway will keep you awake.  
 
More Room.   Vacation rentals have much more square footage per person than a traditional hotel.  The average room in a hotel is 300 square feet. Our Miami lodging condos start at 650 square feet and our vacation villas 2,500 square feet. Even if you're traveling with another couple or large group of friends, you'll have plenty of room.
