You probably already know that Lake Havasu City is an amazing spring vacation destination for families, but we’d argue that it’s an awesome vacation spot all through the year (yes, summer too!).
If you already love this lakeside community, why not book one of our favorite Lake Havasu vacation rentals for your next getaway?
Planning a vacation to Lake Havasu City is easy, and there’s so much for families to do, especially if you love spending time on the water and exploring the outdoors.
And if you’re looking for awesome places to stay with your family, you’ll find a unique collection of awesome Lake Havasu vacation rentals to choose from, whether you’re visiting for a long weekend or a whole week.
Because my dad lived in Lake Havasu City for many years, we’ve had the opportunity to explore lots of different lodging options, from camping to posh hotels, and everything in between.
If you are looking for places to stay in Lake Havasu City with kids, we’d recommend starting your search on VRBO, especially if you’re planning on staying more than a few days.
We’ve got absolutely nothing against Lake Havasu City Hotels, and we’ve even got some awesome hotel recommendations, but vacation home rentals win for family-friendly lodging in just about every case.
Why VRBO is Great for Family-Friendly Lake Havasu Lodging
When we visit Lake Havasu City with kids, we really appreciate having a kitchen to cook our meals in, and separate bedrooms so we can all have a little privacy at the end of the day.
Many of the Lake Havasu vacation rentals that we’ve stayed in even have outdoor pools, or other fun amenities that are especially awesome for kids.
The downside to renting a vacation rental instead of staying in a hotel is the location. Some of the best Lake Havasu City hotels are right on the water, making it easy to take advantage of swimming, paddling, and boating, not to mention all of the waterfront restaurants.
Vacation rentals, by contrast, are mostly up the hill in the residential parts of the city. It’s a short drive to the water from just about anywhere in town, but you probably won’t be where the action is!
For us, staying in a Lake Havasu vacation rental is a nice way to escape from the hubbub of the waterfront, which can be incredibly busy. We spend our days on the beach, at the park, or hiking, and then our quiet vacation rental is like a lovely respite from the busyness of the day.
Check out these awesome places to stay with (or without) kids in Lake Havasu City, and you’ll be sold!
