PostHeaderIcon Choosing vacation rental property in Whistler

Whistler is perhaps North America’s best ski resort; certainly there is nowhere close for vertical drop, acreage of groomed runs and variety of expert terrain. However there is also a tremendous variety of rental accommodation, and before you make a choice it would be as well to be educated about the options and their implications.

Whistler properties vary along 3 key dimensions: size, quality/style and location. We don’t need to say much about size; there are properties on the rental market ranging from shoeboxes of 350 sq. ft to imposing chalets of 6000 sq. ft. or more. Quality is another question altogether. Much of the Whistler rental inventory was built in the 80s and 90s when the profile of the resort was lower and cost was the name of the game. Most developments were built with indifferent design, cheap materials, poor quality fixtures and fittings and décor that is unimaginative at best. You do not want to spend your vacation in a condo with a blue carpet, magnolia walls, formica countertops, shiny brass bathroom fittings and garishly-coloured sofas. So you need to seek out either one of the more recent developments, such as Taluswood, that were built to a much higher specification, or you need to find a unit that has been recently renovated (or ‘Whistlerized’, as the local term has it). ‘Whistlerization’ typically involves installing slate floors, granite countertops, stone fireplaces, wooden cupboards, beams and trim, and painting in earthy autumnal tones of café-au-lait, caramel and burgundy. These units have a much more mountain-cabin feel. The top-of-the-line properties in Whistler go a stage or three beyond this, with spectacular designs and extremely high-end finishes, although only a few of these properties are on the rental market.

Location is perhaps the key issue in choosing your Whistler rental. Although only a small town, there are many different areas you can choose for your vacation, and each of them has advantages and disadvantages.

The Village is the place for proximity to bars and restaurants, and for being a relatively short walk to the lifts. However most of the inventory in the Village is small, with one or two-bedrooms units dominant in the mix, and it was all built to a cheap standard. It is critical to find a unit that has received a recent quality renovation. There are also one or two units that are larger, but you may have to search hard to find them.

The Upper Village is on the lower slopes of Blackcomb Mountain. This is the location for ski-in, ski-out units that are also reasonably accessible to the Village. However, if you want ski-in, ski-out make sure that you check what this means. Some properties are actually on the slopes; others, still styling themselves ‘ski-in, ski-out’ may be up to 5 minutes walk away. Still others are ski-in, but not ski-out.

The second main location for ski-in, ski-out units is Taluswood on the lower slopes of Whistler Mountain. This is a very upscale area with a variety of accommodation, but all of a high quality standard using peeled logs, natural materials and quality décor. Access to the slopes is very easy, with no more than a 2 minute walk from most properties. However you need a vehicle to get to shops and restaurants, as this area is not served by either the free shuttle or by municipal buses.

The fourth location is Creekside, the original location of Whistler. This used to be a very downmarket area, but recent heavy investment has made it a decent alternative to the Village. The Creekside gondola is always less crowded than the lifts in the Village, and there is now a great selection of shops and restaurants in town. The quality of accommodation is very mixed, with many unattractive older properties and a few newer, luxury chalets that are equal to any in Whistler. You can walk to the lifts from most locations in Creekside.

Finally, there is a selection of other locations, including Blueberry Hill, Nicklaus North and Alpine Meadows. Here you will generally find larger homes, but they are not ski-in, ski-out and you will have to drive to the Village as well. However, you will get more for your money in terms of the quality and size of the property itself here.

PostHeaderIcon Vacation Rentals Offer Many Advantages when Compared to Hotel Rooms.

Vacation Rentals offer tremendous advantages when compared to Standard Hotel Rooms. Privately owned vacation rental properties offer more room, flexibility, amenities, freedom and privacy than a standard hotel room often for less money.

For example: A Disney area Luxury 3 bedroom, 2 bath villa home with a private pool, gourmet kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room and community amenities can be rented for as little as $600/week. With a vacation rental property you can prepare meals and snacks anytime, enjoy swimming or lounging by your private pool, unpack your bags and have room to spread out. As the number of travelers in your group increases, the savings continue to grow and grow!

Vacation rentals offer more room. Most Standard hotel rooms offer a king bed, or two queen beds at best along with a dresser, small closet and bath. There is usually one TV which can be viewed by sitting or lying on the bed or using one of two small chairs provided in the room. These rooms become quite cluttered when a family of 4 staying for a week struggles to keep unworn clothes neat and dirty clothes separated. Usually the television becomes a war zone with small children battling over channels. Adults often can’t even enjoy any late night program for fear of waking the children.

Vacation Rentals offer incredible room to spread out and relax. On Paradise Properties by Owner you will find properties with 1 bedroom all the way up to estates that have over 15 bedrooms! Yes, you read that correctly! Along with comfortable sleeping & closet space, vacation rentals also have fully equipped kitchens and living areas. Many homes also have dens, formal dining rooms, private pools and hot tubs, game rooms, laundry rooms, lanais, large yards and more. The average size of a hotel room us about 300 square feet. Vacation Rentals range from 1200 square feet to over 10,000 square feet of living space in come cases. Vacation rentals offer much more value for your money.

Vacation rentals offer freedom and flexibility. Want a late night snack in a Hotel room? This is not always an easy thing to do! If there is room service and the restaurant is still open you shouldn’t have any trouble. Want to go for a late swim after dinner? How about an early morning dip in the pool? Be sure to check the hotel pool hours. You might not have the option. Need to take your car? Some resorts valet and this becomes a lengthy ordeal especially if you just want a snack.

Vacation rentals allow you the flexibility to plan your day the way you want. Eat when you are hungry, swim when you feel like taking a dip, or simply relax without feeling that you are interrupting the rest of your family’s plans. Often times the expenses of eating out can far exceed the daily expenses of lodging on a vacation. With full kitchens, these expenses are greatly reduced in a vacation rental even if you only use the kitchen for breakfasts, drinks and snacks!

Many vacation rentals offer more amenities than a standard hotel room. You will usually find TVs, VCRs, DVDs, & Stereos. Fully equipped kitchens, large spacious baths, and laundry rooms are found in most vacation rentals. Many also offer private pools, game rooms, spas, tennis facilities and much more! You can also find homes and condos with great outdoor living spaces such as patios, lanais, gardens, lawns and private decks overlooking incredible vistas. Many vacation rentals are located on golf courses, lakes, mountains, and beaches.

There are some things that can’t be compromised. A sense of privacy is one of the main reasons Vacation Rentals are so popular. In a hotel you will hear the comings and goings of those around you. Often times even in the best of resorts, it is difficult to escape the sounds of water pipes and shutting doors. Vacation Rentals provide your own sanctuary away from crowds. You might choose to take a moonlit swim in the pool, or enjoy the sunrise while you lounge with a cup of coffee. In a standard hotel room the concept of privacy is never the same feeling as a privately owned vacation rental property.

Vacation rentals can save money. There is no comparison between the two. The old saying applies “it’s like trying to compare apples to oranges”. Vacation Rentals often offer more room for less money, more freedom, more flexibility, more amenities, and much more privacy for your money. When you rent a vacation rental directly from the owner you will also find an attention to detail and comfort that many rental management companies overlook. Owners who rent their properties “by owner” want you to return year after year to enjoy their property. Your satisfaction is extremely important to vacation rental property owners.

Many vacation rentals are pet friendly. Ever try to book a hotel that will allow pets? This is a daunting task. Many vacation rental homes owners allow pets. Pet Friendly Vacation Rentals are easy to locate on Paradise Properties. Simply search with pets allowed as one of your search parameters.

With the many advantages that vacation rental properties offer to their visitors it is easy to see why privately owned properties continue to gain popularity with travelers. Vacation Rentals can be found all over the world, suited to almost any budget. Large sites like Paradise Properties by Owner offer vacation rental properties in many vacation destinations.
