5 Reasons Vacation Rentals Beat Hotel for a Family Vacation in Lake Havasu

  • Posted on

Planning a family getaway to Lake Havasu? If you’re traveling with kids, choosing where to stay is just as important as what you put on your vacation itinerary. While hotels and resorts might seem convenient at first glance, more families are turning to vacation rentals for a reason. Once you see the difference, it’s easy to understand why.

At Whiskey Blues, our luxury Lake Havasu vacation rental, we’ve created a space that combines comfort, privacy, entertainment, and family-friendly amenities all under one roof. Here’s why a vacation rental like ours is the clear winner when you’re bringing the whole crew.

1. More Space = Happier Families

Tired of squeezing everyone into one hotel room or splitting your family across multiple rooms? Whiskey Blues offers 3 spacious bedrooms that comfortably sleep up to 10. This includes:

  • 2 king suites for the grown-ups to unwind
  • A queen-over-queen bunk bed that kids absolutely love

When you're not sharing a bedroom, you don't have to make the whole family go to bed at the same time. Put younger ones to sleep, and the grown ups can enjoy the evening in one of our indoor or outdoor living spaces.

Plus, with 3 full bathrooms and a half bath, no more fighting over the shower in the morning.

2. A Fully-Equipped Kitchen Saves You Both Time & Money

Dining out with kids three times a day gets expensive and, let’s be honest, sometimes stressful. Most families prefer to dine out just a few times, and then have the rest of the meals at home with familiar foods and a comfortable environment.

Our vacation rental features:

  • A modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances
  • A dedicated coffee bar for those early mornings
  • Indoor and outdoor dining areas perfect for casual meals or family dinners

You get the freedom to eat on your own schedule, and keep your picky eaters happy.

3. Entertainment for All Ages Without Leaving Home

Sometimes family vacation gets exhausting if you're on the go the whole time. In a hotel, you don't want to just stay in the room all day, but when you stay at a luxury vacation rental you get the relaxation of staying home with the fun of plenty to do.

Whiskey Blues comes packed with family-friendly entertainment, including:

  • A 100" HDTV with Sonos surround sound in the living room
  • A game room with arcade games, poker table, pool, shuffleboard & more
  • High-speed Wi-Fi for streaming, gaming, or even a little remote work or school
  • Yard games like corn hole and a 4-hole mini golf course

You won’t find this kind of in-home fun at even the nicest resorts. This way, you can plan some days on the lake, and some relaxing with our long list of amenities.

4. Private Pool Days Are Just Better

Forget fighting for pool chairs or dealing with loud strangers at a public hotel pool.

Your family gets exclusive access to our:

  • Luxury private pool with a slide, sun deck, and hot tub
  • Covered patio with a smart 85” TV and firepit
  • Outdoor kitchen and BBQ for poolside meals and snacks

You'll have all your favorite components of a resort pool, without having to share any of them.

5. Practical Perks Parents Love

At Whiskey Blues, we've also included thoughtful extras that make family travel easier:

  • Washer + dryer so you can pack less, and don't have to travel home with wet swimsuits and dirty laundry
  • Easy parking with a long, flat driveway for your family vehicle
  • A private, quiet location that’s still close to Lake Havasu’s top attractions

You get the comforts of home with the luxury of a vacation.
