Video Games in Vacation Homes
I know what you are thinking: “Vacation is about unplugging my kids from their video games”! I agree with you completely. The only problem is the fact that video game consoles, next to wireless internet service are one of the most popular amenities we offer in the vacation rentals besides the private heated pool.
Many of our Orlando vacation home rentals offer a video game system such as Sony Play station, Xbox 360 or the Wii system. Since all the homes are individually owned it is the choice of each property owner which game system they put in the home. Many parents like the kids to have something to do while they have some down time. When reserving one of our vacation rentals it is listed if a home has a game system and if so what kind. We do recommend the following tips for everyone to get the most enjoyment out of them:
- Confirm what kind of game system is in the home
- Bring your own games. Most of the homes may have a few games, but most likely not the hip game of the month.
- You can rent games from a local Blockbuster rental store or through www.Netflix.com.
- Parents beware of what your kids are playing. Some families do not have a game system at home and may not be aware that video games have ratings just like movies. E is for everyone, T is for teens and M is for mature. Some game systems even have online capability to play live online over the internet. Parents need to be very cautious of who they are playing with online.
- Limit how much time children can play video games .
It has been our experience that most families are out enjoying the theme parks and our great weather in Florida, rather than over playing video games. We find most parents have more trouble getting kids out of the pool rather than turning off the television while staying in one of our beautiful vacation rental homes in Orlando.
