So you've decided to spend some time in Orange County and enjoy all that this wonderful part of the world. But do you want to stay in one of the luxurious Orange County villa rentals or spend some time in a hotel? This article will help you to choose.

If you Stay in a Villa 

- Privacy

The amount of privacy that you'll get if you stay in a villa will be pretty high. If you do not want to be surrounded by people you don't know then a villa might be right for you. If you simply want to spend time alone with the one you love or with friends then a villa could be right for you. 

While some villas also come with chefs and cleaners you do not have to use them. You can opt out so you have even more privacy while you're away. 

- Luxury

The villas you'll come across in Orange county are nothing short of luxurious. They can add something completely different to your time away. You can enjoy staying somewhere very special which will make every single moment you spend in your villa much more special. If you are looking to spend time in the lap of luxury then a villa will be ideal for you. 

Some villas even come with balconies that you can lounge around on as much as you please. Others have pools that add even more luxury to your vacation. 

- It's Quiet

If you want to spend some time somewhere quiet then you'll love spending time in a villa. There won't be any noisy people staying in the room next to or across from yours. In addition to this, you will not hear other people's doors banging in the middle of the night. The great news is that villas are built to ensure that you can enjoy the quiet should you wish to. You can be left undisturbed should you wish to be. 

Of course, if you would like to enjoy a party in your villa there's nothing to stop you. What's more, is you won't have to worry about disturbing anyone else as you party the night away. 

- Cooking all your Meals

If you love to cook you will love staying in a villa. This is because every villa comes with  a kitchen. While some villas do have bigger kitchens than others, they all have the facilities that you need to cook as much or as little as you wish. What's more, is you'll have the freedom to enjoy cooking a variety of dishes using a range of local ingredients. While you can still go out and eat from time to time, you'll have much more choice when you stay in a villa. 

- You Really Feel Like you've Gotten Away

When you stay in a villa you're much more likely to feel like you're away on vacation. When you stay in a hotel you won't have the same sort of feeling. This is because hotels can be very busy. However, a villa really will give you that vacation feeling. 

Staying in a Hotel 

- They can be Busy 

Hotels can be very busy at times. There will be people coming and going at all times of the day and night. In addition to this, some hotels hold business events which could make the whole venue even busier. This could mean you have a lot less fun than you think you could. However, if you only plan to rest your head in a hotel you won't need to worry about it being busy. 

- They can be Noisy

Hotels can be quite noisy at times, especially if they're busy. You usually hear people slam doors and talking outside your room. This isn't a good thing if you want to enjoy a quiet vacation. This may well mean that you need to get up and about early so you don't get disturbed by everyone else. If you're a heavy sleeper or other people's noise does not tend to bother you then a hotel could be just the job. 

- They Have Room Service

Most hotels have room service unless you stay in a really cheap one. If you do decide to order room service you will have to be prepared to pay more for your meals. What's more, is you might not always get the generous portions you'd get elsewhere. However, if you love being waited on hand and foot you'll love having access to room service both day and night. 

- The View Can be Obscured

Unless you pay to stay in a hotel that has a great view, you could find your view is obscured. This is because, depending on where you're staying, your view could be obscured. While you don't necessarily need a good view to enjoy your vacation a good view can help. Before you book a room you will need to confirm that you have a good view. Otherwise, you might get the view of a wall or even a busy street. 

As you can see, staying in a villa offers a lot more benefits than staying in a hotel. If you would like to stay in the lap of luxury and enjoy peace and quiet, then a villa could be right for you. Alternatively, you could stay in a hotel if you don't need to be in luxurious surroundings and in privacy.
