Staycation vs Vacation: Your Backyard Private Resort

There’s no denying the excitement of getting to go on a special trip with your family, or even on your own. However, there’s a good alternative to 6-hour car drives and less than 5-star hotels: Your backyard! Learn the difference between a staycation vs vacation, and how a simple walk out your backdoor can transport you to a backyard private resort.

Saving Time and Money

Even with all the travel coupons and flyer miles, vacations still cost money. This means it can take months to save up enough cash for gas, food, and souvenir t-shirts. Not to mention scheduling can be a bit difficult. Sure, everyone may be out of school and off work for the Fourth of July, but good luck finding accommodations on one of the biggest vacation holidays. By staying at home, your staycation can last a weekend or a whole week — and you’ll never run into booking problems!

Go Anywhere

Believe it or not, with a bit of imagination (and some inexpensive decor) you can recreate almost any atmosphere. Turn your space into a tropical backyard private resort with tiki torches, and party lights. Create a waterpark with your swimming pool, sprinklers, or a slip-and-slide. Learn cultural recipes to cook and even stage a tourist photo shoot around your yard.

Rest and Relax

Going on a trip can actually be more exhausting than it’s worth. Trying to stay on schedule, entertain the kids during downtime, and simply not sleeping in your own bed can put a damper on your vacation. This year, soak in your hot tub with some aromatherapy candles, pick out a movie the whole family can enjoy, or lounge poolside with a good book. Really focus on resting, relaxing, and rejuvenating instead of running pedal to the metal.
