Why Choose a Branson Vacation Rental?
The Comforts of Home Away from Home
There are many lodging options here in Branson, Missouri from hotel rooms to lakeside private home rentals. Many Branson visitors aren't aware of the nightly vacation rentals available in
the area. As a professional property management company, we offer a plethora of condos, cabins, villas, and private home rentals to fit everyone's needs and budget. The following sections outline the
advantages a nightly rental has over a standard hotel/motel room. In all aspects, nightly rentals offer more "bang for your buck!"

Vacation Cost Comparison
* Food calculations below for a Branson condo rental are based on an estimated grocery bill for a 4 night vacation for the indicated number of guests.
* Food calculations below for a Branson hotel room are based on an average meal cost of $7 per person for each meal when dining out. We feel this is a conservative amount and can easily exceed this figure.
* Base price calculations below are ACTUAL prices for a sample vacation stay Nov 14th, 2011 through Nov 18, 2011.
* The Branson hotels and motels selected in each example are budget properties. Nicer hotel / motel properties will cost significantly more.
Example Vacation #1 - Family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children)
In this comparison, we will compare our Polo Club Condo (2 bedroom, 2 bath condo) with a standard Branson motel room (2 queen beds). A family of 5 is the maximum occupancy allowed in a standard double queen Branson motel room.
| 2 Bedroom Condo Rental (Polo Club) | Standard Motel Room (2 Queen Beds) |
| Base Price | $396.00 | $339.96 |
| Sales Tax | $23.66 | $36.16 |

Example Vacation #2 - Family of 6 (4 adults, 2 children).
In this comparison, you would need to rent 2 Branson hotel / motel rooms or a much more expensive family suite to accomodate all 6 family members. Our 2 Bedroom Branson Condo Rentals can accomodate up to 6 family members. Grandma and Grandpa get 1 bedroom, Mom and dad another, and the kids can sleep on the sofa sleeper.

When compared to the hotel family suite, you'll still pay $462.00 LESS for the 2 bedroom condo. And if the cost savings isn't enough, remember, even the hotel family suite doesn't include separate bedrooms. You simply get a slightly larger room with another bed squeezed in. |
Example Vacation #3 - Family Reunion or Couples (8 adults).
Our last example illustrates a small family reunion or good friends (4 couples) looking to save big on their vacation. We compare our Escape to Table Rock Branson Condo (3 bedroom, 2 bath lakeside condo) with 2 Branson hotel / motel rooms to accomodate all 8 adults. Keep in mind, the 3 bedroom condo rental offers separate sleeping quarters for each couple whereas the hotel rooms do not. If that's not enough, this particular 3 bedroom condo is lakeside, has 3 king beds + sofa sleeper + air bed, a private deck and BBQ grill, and can sleep up to 10!
