VRBO VS Hotel

My DH is late stage 4. Traveling and a no schedule life has always been a part of our lives. We are almost done with a 2 month road trip to visit family and friends, staying in hotels at the beginning and then in homes. He has acclimated fine in both situations so far. In 2 days we start our trek home with 3-4 hotel stays. I have a motion sensor for the hotel doors in case he tries to leave in the night when he won’t have any trackers on him. When dressed, I can track him on his phone and have tiles on his phone, in his wallet and one he wears on his pants. When we get home I’ll be getting the shoe soles that have tiles in them. He has not shown any signs of wondering yet.
I don’t know if this helps in your situation.

if you are traveling out of state to an unfamiliar house or hotel room, I highly suggest that you put a gps tracker on him. Your local police or sheriffs department will supply you with a gps tracking watch under Project Lifesaver. They can track a person anywhere in the U. S.

A hotel may be better in that there will only be one way in and one way out. A VRBO may have several entry/exit points to monitor.

This is the alarm that I got. I needed it for home also so I knew if he left the bedroom at night. At home I’ll set it up in the kitchen at bedtime. It has a remote so that I can disarm it before I might set it off. Other motion sensors I found did not have a way to disarm it without setting it off first. I didn’t do a lot of research on different types though.
i have not used it yet. Wednesday night will be my first time trying it. We will be in a hotel. The downside is that it only beeps twice and does not repeat. It does has 3 volume levels, one being very loud.

I booked a spot at a hotel near melbourne central once, and it made the whole trip way smoother since everything was right on the doorstep. The mix of comfy rooms, easy transport, and good food downstairs saved me so much hassle, especially after long days out. If you want something practical but still nice, that setup worked really well for me.

I use both. The advantage of a good rental is more comfort / resources and a kitchen. The disadvantage is more confusion on my DW part at the layout of an unfamiliar place, fixtures, sounds. A decent hotel room (perhaps with a sitting area) is much easier for her to navigate, but then meals etc. are more effort.

I lean towards hotel rooms because they’re small and your LO can find their way around. Use the bolt safety lock so it is hard to open without you hearing it.
