Benefits of Whole-Home Bed &Breakfast Rentals

January 17, 2022

A bed and breakfast may offer the unique opportunity to rent out the entire building rather than just a single room. A whole-home rental is ideal for group trips, family reunions, or families with a lot of children. As you consider your accommodations for a trip to the Mississippi area, learn about the benefits associated with whole-home rentals. 

Once you've experienced a whole-home rental at a bed and breakfast, you may use the same option for vacations in the future. 

Close Room Locations 

If you travel with other parties and stay at a hotel or resort, you may not have the option to room next to each other. You could end up having to go to multiple floors or walk long distances just to meet up with other parties. The walking distance and extra planning could take up a lot of extra time on your vacation. 

With a whole-home rental, everyone you vacation with is in the same house and there is easy access to everyone. Meeting up takes seconds and it's easy to talk to someone without the need to play phone tag, send multiple texts, or miss out on key plans. 

Laundry Services 

A bed and breakfast may offer laundry services for your clothing and items. If you're staying for five days or more, fresh laundry can make a big difference. When you travel with a big group, you can make things easier by putting the laundry all together and having loads done faster. 

For example, if you went to the beach, you could put everyone's bathing suits into the same load to clean salt water and dry all of the suits. With everyone in the same rental, you do not have to worry about laundry mix-ups with strangers or delays in the time it takes to do laundry. 

You also do not need to worry about scheduling your laundry time because a bed and breakfast staff can complete the process for you. 

Potluck Meals 

One of the main benefits associated with a bed and breakfast is the home-cooked meals prepared and served by the staff. When your vacation party has a whole-house rental, you have many benefits when it comes to eating. Everyone can eat together at the house. You do not need to worry about booking a large restaurant reservation weeks in advance. 

You do not need to split your party up into separate tables. You do not need to worry about sharing meals with others at the same table. A bed and breakfast often supplies multiple meals a day, so you can plan which ones you want to eat at the house and enjoy the local cuisine. Potluck-style meals provide options for everyone and are often included as part of the price. 

The meal options are ideal for different sleep schedules as well. For example, if children or teens sleep in, family members can enjoy meals right at the bed and breakfast without the need to wake anyone up. A continental-style breakfast provides easy options and a variety of food for everyone who stays at the bed and breakfast. 

Privacy 

One of the big highlights of a whole-home rental at a bed and breakfast is the privacy your vacation party will receive. Everyone who stays at the bed and breakfast can share the common rooms and bathrooms without the need to share with strangers. You have your own parking lot access and can enjoy yourselves more freely. 

The privacy option is ideal for people who want a more low-key vacation where they are not surrounded by other tourists all the time. At the end of a long day, you can find comfort knowing that your accommodations will only include some staff members and loved ones.
