If you’re ready to embark on a getaway, here’s a helpful planning guide to ensure your trip is fun and affordable.

How to Plan a Family Vacation

1. Family Discussion

To ensure every member of your family is excited and happy about your destination, start the conversation as a group. Together, discuss the type of activities you’d like to try, the weather you’d enjoy, and the type of vacation home that would make everyone comfortable and rejuvenated. 

2. Research Rental Properties

Vacation HomeOnce you zero in on a destination, perform some research online or with the assistance of a travel agent so that you can view the inventory of rentals in that area. Doing so will help you pinpoint availability, possible amenities, and nightly costs to secure your dream vacation home. 

3. Pull Together a Budget

Before booking anything, pull together a list of finances that includes travel expenses, meals, supplies, trip activities, and home rental fees. Once you have a sense of overall costs, you can start budgeting so that your getaway is a worry-free experience. 

4. Book a Vacation Home Early

The best way to get your desired dates at affordable rates is to book your vacation rental as soon as possible. This will also alleviate the stress of trying to find the right place to stay on short notice. 

5. Schedule Group Activities

After your rental is booked, talk to your property manager about sights and fun events nearby. Whether it’s trips to the beach, surfing lessons, hikes, or visits to a local museum, having an itinerary in advance will help you maximize your time and avoid boredom.
