Other Accommodations
Families willing to step outside the usual hotels and resorts can find many other options for lodgings.
Vacation Home Rentals
Vacation home rentals work especially well when an extended family or a group of friends travels together: there's space for everyone, and the rental cost is shared. Vacation home rentals are common in ski areas or beach zones, but can also be a good option in Orlando, Europe, and elsewhere.
Alternative Lodging
Parents willing to think outside the box can save money on lodgings by various ways: from apartment rentals to home exchanges to alternative travel styles such as staying with a local host.
Airbnb for Family Travelers
AirBnB is an interesting and affordable alternative to hotel stays: individuals offer their own accommodation via the website, which provides many safety and trust features. Sometimes the renting individuals are present as hosts, like a B and B; sometimes not.
