Buying a Holiday Home vs Going on Holiday – What are the Benefits?
Buying a holiday home vs going on holiday is one of those debates that’s been raging on for years – and a lot of the time, it’s down to personal taste.
But here at Silver Bay, we’re all about buying your very own slice of paradise; a place that you can return to time and time again and know for certain that you’re going to have a brilliant trip.
But this isn’t the only benefit to owning a holiday home as opposed to going on holiday.
Let us delve a little deeper into the exciting world of holiday homes and help you discover exactly what you can expect if you choose to purchase a property instead of a two week holiday the next time you want to get away!
1. Holiday homes are great investments
When it comes to going on holiday, you go and have an amazing two weeks and then come home again – but with a holiday home you can rest assured that not only can you have an amazing break, you can also be happy that you have an investment in your hands too.
Holiday homes are a great way to pass on property in your family, and you can also sell them on too if you decide to eventually move on.
Here at Silver Bay, our properties come with a 50-year lease – that’s much higher than most similar holiday properties in the area.
2. You can create a home away from home
When you go on holiday, you’re very much heading into someone else’s turf. And although that sometimes can be an enjoyable experience, there’s something quite great and comforting about getting away to something familiar.
When you have a holiday home, you can have it however you like. You get to plan the design, the ornaments and whatever else you like so it’s suited entirely to your personal taste.
You can also make sure it’s always stocked up with your favourite things to really make you feel at home each time you visit. Perfect!
3. They’re easier to get away to
When you go on holiday you have to fork our for numerous things including flights, accommodation, and whatever else you need – which quickly adds up in terms of cost. This isn’t true if you have a holiday home.
You get the chance to take last minute trips for cheap, especially when your property is in the UK, and they’re also great for getting away for a weekend break without having to pay loads.
All you need to do is pack a bag and throw everyone in the car and you’re off! It’s that simple – which is one of the main things our residents adore about owning property on our holiday park.
4. There’s a sense of community
You can make great friends whilst going on holiday for a couple of weeks, but nothing quite beats the sense of community you get from owning a holiday home.
You’ll find the same people around when you visit, allowing you and your children to make friends that you can interact with the next time you visit too.
In this way, you get to holiday with friends when you go away, as well as having someone to relax and have fun with at resident gatherings such as the parties we have here at Silver Bay!
5. You’ll always get access to your favourite amenities
When people go on holiday you’re bound to have access to certain amenities, but when you own your own holiday home you know you’re going to get everything you want each and every time you visit.
This means you get to avoid any nasty surprises such as the pool being too small or the beach being miles away.
At Silver Bay, our pool is brand new, and our private beach is close to hand – perfect for those lazy summer days. Don’t miss out.
6. You know you’re going to a beautiful destination
As well as amenities that may not always be what you thought, if you go to a hotel, your room might not be either. It’s happened to all of us, that strange smell that won’t go away, or that weird noise you keep hearing in the middle of the night and can’t figure out what it is.
The area you’re staying in could also be questionable if you’re new to the area and leave you feeling unsafe. This won’t happen with a holiday home.
Our gated community is the perfect place for you and your family to relax and have some fun.
You also get to visit our park before you buy if you’re interested in joining our community to get a taste of what we’re all about – so there’ll be no nasty surprises upon arrival.
You’ll know exactly how amazing Silver Bay is before you leave your home!
7. You get your own private outdoor space
When on holiday, you’ll find all outdoor space is usually communal. This means you have to share and can’t dine alfresco in peace and private. Here at Silver Bay this isn’t the case.
Most of our properties come with decking, and these are great places to relax outdoors with room to manoeuvre for just your family or company – perfect!
You can rest assured your holiday home will be private. Even our caravans are spaced out to avoid that ‘packed in’ feel you get from some holiday parks.
8. Lots of extra space
If you go on holiday, the likelihood is you’re going to have one bedroom for your family, two at a push – and they quickly get cramped.
But here at Silver Bay you can ensure you invest in a property that has plenty of room for all of your family.
You’ll get more bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, a kitchen, dining room and much more. It’ll feel more like a home than a hotel ever could – perfect for an excellent break for everyone.
