We rented a house for four days. The house was spotless when we arrived. Of course it was not cleaned in the time we were there. Should I tip the cleaning staff?|||aren't u already paying for cleaning after u depart?|||Depends if it was meant to be cleaned , while u were in there.
If they failed you , on that note. Then they should not get a tip.
But if it was clean, when u arrived. And there was no expectation for them to clean it while u were there. You should leave a tip, for them having to clean up your filth so to speak.
Generally, just leaving some change/coins on one of the table,, signifies a tip.
Adding whayt u leave, and whatever somebody in one of the other vacational rentals leave, it adds up to a bit , and keeps the maid happy.|||You can if it makes you feel better. I never understood the idea of paying somebody extra for doing the job that they are already getting paid for. I understand waiters and waitresses are underpaid on purpose and the tips equate into their actual pay but everybody else is on their own. But do as you feel best.|||yes|||Sure, it would make their day.|||Yes. I would leave $20.|||yes i would it never hurts to help :D

Has anyone every heard of this group/company before? They will only take cashiers checks or money orders - I am concerned.|||Only absolute only way I would do this is in person. It may or may not be a scam but doing it in person is the only way to know for sure.
It still may be a scam even when you see the place and meet someone in the office but you will have an instinct that will take over and I would listen to it.
No way to know in this forum or even a website if the offer is on the up and up.
Hope youve seen the property as that again is something I would never do unless I saw it.
Be very careful in this endeavor - you are wide open to disappointment.|||Sounds a bit of a stretch that they don't accept major credit cards.

No vacation rentals, I will be working in Manzanillo at the resort the Tesoro.

Mexico works on word of mouth and you'll do much better talking to people in person. Santiago is close and maybe your best bet for an inexpensive apartment.

We are new to this part of USA. Can somebody recommend a good vacation rental (or a place) for 2/3 families in Northern Virgina for a week in early December?
We are trying to spend around $1000-$1500 for a weekly rental. and should be around 3-4 hours drive from Delaware. Also should have some activities nearby in Winter like sking, sight seeing etc.|||If you want 3-4 hours from Delaware, you are talking about Northern Virginia. This area is rich in history, and you are close to D.C. and it's museums, all of which are free. An hour's drive west from Northern Virginia, and you are talking about Skyline Drive. It's hard to know what you'd prefer....and everything I found in the Va. mountains that would be large enough is over $2000 a week.

We rented a little condo for a week and it required a 500$ security deposit. the manager said she mailed it and we haven';t received it. tried to contact her again ,no answer. Almost has been a month since time of rental. What is the next recourse?
TIA|||It is completely dependent on what state you are in. In a lot of states, a deposit must be returned within 30 days of move-out. For this to work out in court, you must also have given your next address to which the deposit should be mailed (usually the law on this is 7 days after move-out). If you gave notice of your next address and it is past 30 days, you can sue for up to double the deposit (keep in mind these are laws I know in Michigan).
The only slight problem I might see is that you rented a place for a week. I don't know if laws apply to anything this short-term. Also, did you sign a lease? If you did not sign a lease, this may harm you in court. However, some states let you have a oral/verbal agreement for rental. If they accepted your payment, this is a loose agreement of rent.
If you want your money back and still have not had any luck contacting the manager, then file a small claims case (use free legal advice in your county is a good idea). Make sure you have all documentation of the money exchanged, phone calls made and the condition of the condo when you moved in/out. If you sue, you have the burden of proof as the plaintiff and need to prove why they owe you money. So everything you can think of related to why you should get your $500 back is relevant in the case. Good luck and don't forget to use free legal advice, it helped me to win my case :)

Ok, I booked an apartment unit 2 months in advance in Miami Beach, FL. But just recently, like a week and 3 days, the agent informs me that due to recent renovations, we cannot book with them.

I'm looking to rent a home or condo for 1 week in August in San Diego. Besides asking for a lot of current pictures, what can I do?|||I understand you wanting to be very careful so your vacation ends up relaxing, enjoyable and just what you expected and hoped for.
First off, make sure you ask questions about the property. How old is it? When was it last updated? Do you allow pets or smoking? My thoughts are pets and smoking truly add wear and tear to the rental so unless you have a pet or smoke, you may want to look for a rental pet/smoke free!
See if they have a personal website with ample information as well as photos.
I have a cabin rental in North GA. It's a 3 bedroom, 3 bath with 2 full size futons. I limit my guest count to 8 max but truly prefer only 4-6 guests, mostly because of the wear and tear it puts on the rental. My rental is only 2 years old and that somewhat will tells potential guests the condition of the unit is good as it is fairly new.
To avoid being swindle (I haven't heard of any of that which is good) You can research the property by going to the local appraisers site online to see the actual year it was built, and to be sure the owner is who the person you are dealing with claims to be.

I wouldn't recommend going to a travel agent to book a vacation rental because their partnerships will most likely only be with larger rental networks (i.e. Wyndham, Disney, etc.), so you won't get a huge selection. You will also miss out on rent-by-owner properties, which have character and often more competitive pricing.|||During our vacation, we got help from a tour organizer, where they look for the resort and lodging option that suits our individual needs.|||I have used
VRBO.com
(vacation rental by owner)
Homeaway.com
Home away|||Many travel agents do not have access to the thousands of vacation rentals out there. Most VRs are operated by the individual owner, some are managed by a company. Travel agenst work on a percentage and most owners and management companies don't want to share :-). Or... if the owner or manager works with a travel agent, the agent typically increases the rental rate to the renter to cover their percentage.
There are many VR web sites out there now, some big and some small. The best thing to do is to do a search for the area you're looking for. Something like "vacation condo rental in the Catskill Mountains." The bigger sites like Homeaway, VRBO, etc., are probably, but may not necessarily, the best source for a rental for the area you're searching. This search will reveal the bigger sites and probably some smaller sites dedicated to the area you're searching.
The bigger sites, and typically - but not always - your best bets are:
Homeaway and their sister sites Cyberrentals, A-1, and GreatRentals
VRBO
VacationRentals.com
Most of these sites can, to some degree, verify that the owner of the property is legitimate. If you go through a VR management company, you are generally pretty safe.
You can also try Craigslist but use caution if you book through them. Any site can contain scammers, but CL seems to have a higher percentage. Always pay with a credit card so at least your money will be protected.
You might fiind it overwhelming at first because, depending on where you're going, you may have hundreds of choices. Try to keep good records regarding the property information and when you contacted the owner. It will make it easier once they reply. Not every owner will include a picture or property description in their reply. So good records on your end will make it less stressful for you.

Ask the publisher what format they want|||The OVRMS is a thrilling read, a hybrid of fast paced action thriller and riveting romance.
In a daring gesture of literary genius, the anonymous author managed to compose a plot that uses no characters or narrative system. The flow of the language is elegant and masterful, demonstrating deep penetration into the cultural logic of late capitalism.
Without resort to the crutches of historicity or satire, the OVRMS explores the Sartrean sense of nihilism and free will that underpins our post-modern condition. Clear insights and concise, almost trite statements weave a hypnotic sense of idyllic rented cabins, the soft embers of seaside cookouts, and the green encrustations around the toilet bowl of the rented trailer.
Viewed through the lens of an undisclosed, impersonal internet audience, the OVRMS relays a keen sense of atmosphere, tying the psychological mindscape enacted by the writer to an overarching, dialogic structure.

All your friend can do is contact the owner, have her do so consistantly unitl she can get resolve. However since she sent a check she is out of luck on getting her money back from her bank.
My recommendation would be to use a credit card to utilize fraud protection as go through a reputable company for a time share like http://www.abetterstay.com where you go through a large company and not an individual who is not properly vetted.
You could also file a claim with the Better Business Bureau a, however this is probably a waste of time since it is one individual. Although it will send signs to VRBO.com to screen there properties more thoroughly.

This shows up when you look at specific neighborhoods on different islands.
To give you an idea of the quiet/nightlife balance, I've arranged neighborhoods in a kind of spectrum for you. In that list, Hawaii refers to the island of Hawaii, also called the Big Island.
But on Molokai, for example, you could go to the Kualapuu Cookhouse on Thursday night and watch people come play ukulele, washtub bass, slack-key guitar, and sing, still wearing grease-stained t-shirts from work. Or you could go to the Hotel Molokai on Friday night to see about 12-20 "kupuna" gather to make music. Unfortunately, the Lodge in Maunaloa closed back in 2008, and Paddler's Inn just closed, and but we are hopeful it will reopen soon.
Quiet
Lanai; Molokai; Rural Hawaii
More quiet than nightlife
Kauai; Hilo, Hilo
Quiet, some nightlife
Lahaina, Maui; Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; Windward Side Oahu
Nightlife
Kihei, Maui; Honolulu and Waikiki, Oahu|||I don't think there are a lot of small cottages around. There are vacation houses, usually 3 bedroom, and there are bed & breakfasts. I would recommend a bed & breakfast in Kailua or Lanikai on Oahu. The beaches are great & you are within about a half hour's drive of Waikiki, so you can get to the nightlife.|||Go for http://www.frbo.com/, right website to find vacation rentals
I have a rental house on Lake Huron and I would like to be able to accept credit card payments from my renters. This will all be done over the telephone so I have no need for a card swiper. I'm basically looking for the cheapest way to accept electronic payments then refund a deposit.|||I would not take the information over the phone. It opens you up to too much liability. Use PayPal or another service where you can email an invoice or a link for the buyer to pay through the service. The buyer does not have to have a PayPal account. The renter can use Visa or Mastercard, and you can refund the deposit after the rental. However, you must make sure that the partial refund is completed within a certain time period (I think 60 days) in order to do the refund.
We've used PayPal for several years in order to avoid the monthly minimum fees by some of the processors.
Mike|||i would say skip the phone thing and take paypal... with paypal they can pay you with a credit card and it can be directly deposited onto your bank account... small risk since the credit cards have to be verified before being used... so you'll lower your risk of fraud and loses.|||Try paypal or cc bill. I would recommend paypal. You can get the funds deposited directly into your bank account.

We have seen a rental house in Vancouver but the owner wants $4K up front before we arrive. Everything looks good online, but you still worry about being ripped off. Is there anywhere we can check out and verify the owner? Any help would be truly appreciated.|||I rent vacation rentals all of the time and this is standard practice. Large deposit and rent up front. Or credit card.|||Go visit the property!
Or have someone in the area go and visit it for you and report back to you. If the owner really is legit, he will not mind showing the property inside and out to your agent.|||All Vacation rentals are up front the owner should email or snail mail you a lease that you sign and copy. returning the original to him with your check. We rent every summer. This year it is Grand Island|||If you can pay with a credit card then if there's a problem you can at least contest the charge. I would be very nervous about someone that will only accept a check or a money order.|||Get the municipal address....and do a title search...this will give the name(s) of the owners.
Never send cash.....this place is propbably a scam. Really look at the pics....does it look real?
You can also do a google earth search, see if the house really looks like it. Ask for more pictures.|||Verify the home's ownership and owner's address with the local government and require a written agreement for the $4K. That's a significant amount of money, so consider setting-up an escrow account somewhere (I think eBay has links to some online escrow services).
There is always a risk, so if you don't feel comfortable with the deal, then just walk away. The burden falls on the owner to prove to you that they're a legitimate business.
When advertising my vacation rental on Craigslist, I got a response for immediate dates and “she” wanted to send me a “US certified check” and asked for my name, address (no PO box) and phone number. “She” gave me a fictitious return address from the UK and I am in the US. Well, I declined the offer withholding any personal information. So, how does this scam work? There is no tangible item up for sale.|||Usually they want to send you a check for more then you are renting for. They then want you to cash the check and send money to other people. Makes no sense, but that is it.
The checks are forged, but it takes about 2 weeks for them to clear internationally.
In the end you loose the money you mailed off and whatever your bank charges you for cashing a bad check.
This has been going on for years. They are willing to email back and forth for weeks with ficticious stories. Expect to hear from a lot of them.|||I think I have heard of people doing this, and sending you a certified check for more than the rent was...catch is, it's a fake check, they tell you to deposit it, and wire them or western union them back the overage.
You end up with a bounced check a mad bank and no renters. Also, by endorsing the check, I am not sure if that would be a way they could get into your bank account.
I think the scenario though, is more likely the first one. Fake check.|||Scam scam scam and not even a new scam.
Looking to find a 3 month house rental in the Med somewhere but having problems finding resources that are not vacation rentals (and thus much more expensive). Any ideas?|||You still might want to try Owner Direct Vacation Rentals. With most vacation rentals just being for a week or 2, you might very well find an owner who'd be more than happy to rent for 3 months at a discount, since then they wouldn't have to worry about getting bookings for that whole time.
Have a look for vacation rentals in the Mediterranean here: http://www.ownerdirect.com/map/europe/na鈥?/a> by clicking on a country and starting to browse.
You never know what you might find. Their customer service can answer any question you throw at them, and they'll probably check with the owner and get right back to you.. It's certainly worth a try!
My husband & I are looking into purchasing a small vacation home on the Bolivar Penninsula (or surrounding area). Our immediate plan would be to rent it out and use it ourselves on occasion. Would it be realistic to expect that the income from renting it out during the tourist season would pay all or most (75%) of the monthly mortgage payments for the year? What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of doing something like this? What are some mistakes to avoid? Any insight from people who have done something like this would be wonderful!|||Trying to rent it out might be a problem. I did this once and lost my shirt. While holiday periods and the summer its easy to rent on the weekend and sometimes during the week. But slower times its rented on the weekend sometimes and never during the week.

If you're unable to find what you're looking for on HomeAway, you can also find a variety of rentals on http://www.vrbo.com/ and http://www.vacationrentals.com/ .

Group of mid-30s guys looking for a vacation rental in the Poconos area. Looking for these things: waterfront to do some fishing, sleeps 6-12, game room, bbq grill, place for a fire outside possibly, and walking distance to a bar would be great. Any ideas would be appreciated.|||Check out Mountain Springs Lake. I've stayed there a few times. BEAUTIFUL place!!!!|||Then find a section about the Poconos. They are a two or three hours drive from Philadelphia.|||I don't know where it'd be, but I've never seen anything like that near the Delaware Water Gap. We usually head up towards Analomink, PA, but we grab a camp site and some tents.
In all honesty, we go anywhere from 10-40 deep, and it never costs more than $100/person with food and beer included. We rent canoes/rafts/tubes from the Pack Shack (though I'm sure there are more outfits) and ride the river for about 4-5 hours. Cranberry Run campsite is a good one with quiet spots in the back, and they never really give us a hard time, even when we're 40 drunken college kids (usually just a "keep it down" from the owner).
I don't know of any bars in that area, though I'm sure ONE must be nearby. I think East Stroudsburg University is up that way too, and I'd imagine there are more bars around that. Never fished up there either, but obviously, there's got to be a millions spots.

We would like to look at vacation rentals on/near the beach somewhere south of San Francisco. We would like to be able to access the BART to visit S.F. from wherever we stay.
I would very much appreciate some suggestions of nice areas to stay (I see Pescadero, San Gregorio, Half-Moon Bay, San Pedro and Pacifica on a map, but I know absolutely nothing about this area).
Thanks in advance for your thoughtful input.|||None of the areas you listed have access to BART. Half moon bay is a cute little town, not much to do. I would suggest staying in Sausalito- You can take a ferry to sausalito from San Francisco. Everything south of San Francisco is very cold and foggy. If you don't mind an hour drive, Santa Cruz is a fun place. Also Monterey or Carmel.
If you need to stay near BART, I would suggest you stay in San Francisco. Either near Pier 39 or Union Square area.|||I used to work for an airline and I have lived in the bay area all of my life, I hope my suggestions help.The answer to this depends on a number of factors.
1. Budget. If you have a small fortune to pay, then stay in the city (that's the local name for San Francisco). If you stay in the city, do NOT, stay in the youth hostel, it is in a bad neighborhood in the daytime which only gets worse at night. You can find decent hotels in the city, just be sure they have a website and show pictures of their rooms (I haven't ever needed to stay in a hotel in the city, so I can't recommend one personally). But generally, you won't go wrong if the hotel has a 3 or more star rating (those usually don't have a concierge, but have amenities such as a coffee maker, and a hairdryer, but lack the fancier amenities such as room service).
2. Distance. Half Moon Bay is about 30 miles (on a map) but it takes about an hour to get to, depending on traffic. And you can't get there on BART. BART is a very limited transit system. The problem is in connecting to transit systems in other cities, each city has it's own ground transit, and they often don't link up well with BART. You could probably stay in a nicer hotel in Daly City, Oakland or Berkeley, all of which are near BART (sometimes within walking distance). To branch out to the areas you are considering, you'd be better off renting a car, but that can be quite expensive, even for just a day. There is nothing (that I am aware of) to visit in Pacifica. You could spend a whole week in San Francisco alone and still not see everything you plan on seeing. I hope this helps, let me know if you need more specific information. Good luck.|||Great collection of vacation rentals direct by owners, http://www.alwaysonvacation.com/city/United-States_California_San-Francisco_22000.html|||If you want to stay in a nice little suburban town (while enjoying easy access to the city at the same time), I'd definitely go with Tiburon or Sausalito in Marin County.

Go to cetrella - it's awesome.|||I second EVERYTHING SFDude said. Marin County is gorgeous and very accesible to San Francisco via bus/ferry/car/bike. The places you mention are gorgeous but are foggy beyond belief.
My family and I are going to Orlando for a few days, but we want to go to a hotel on the coast for 3 nights first! Is there any (cheaper) hotels OR vacation rentals on the Gulf in FL?|||Fort Myers Beach. It's probably the best family-oriented Gulf beach within easy range of Orlando. Clubs, restaurants, shops, outdoor games...it's all there. Not to mention a great beach! You could get a less-expensive hotel within Fort Myers or Cape Coral, and drive to the beach for the day and evening.|||Sarasota Florida is a fantastic place to go!!! Since I was 3 years old, I would travel to Orlando and then stay at a nice hotel with my family right on the beach. The beaches are BEAUTIFUL on the Gulf, along with the sunrises & sunsets. They have a lot of great hotels as well and it's not too far of a drive from Orlando to Sarasota. If I knew your price range, I could recommend some, but look online and I'm sure you could find something great!!!
PS- While you're up there, I would check out the Myakka River State Park, the Siesta Key Public Beach, & Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Beautiful places to visit, take pictures, enjoy the scenery, etc.
Hope this helps!!! =)
Which are the safest areas to rent a vacation rental or book a hotel|||DC is the crime capital of the USA.|||There are very nice hotels in D.C., but "vacation rentals" are rare. You might look into a Bed and Breakfast if you'd like to stay in a private home rather than a hotel. Any location in the Northwest (NW) quadrant should be fine.
Check hotels on Expedia or Hotels.com. The sites are connected and seem to give the best rates and most information. You can select one that has breakfast included. For a longer stay, you might consider a suite-style hotel in the suburbs of Rockville or Gaithersburg, north of the city. Choose one that has a shuttle to Metro if you plan to sightsee and definitely book a professional tour.
You could also check out National Harbor. Just across the river from all of D.C.'s attractions, hotels there are running excellent specials. The area is really lovely, waterviews are spectacular, restaurants excellent and ambiance cool and calm. There is always entertainment on the weekends, too, most of which is free of charge. Water taxis can be booked to take you across the river to D.C. Just look at National Harbor and click on any of the hotels and resorts located there.|||For vacation rentals in DC try to get somewhere close to downtown or close to metro. Dupont circle and adams morgan are two good areas as they are close to lots of activity. I use vacation rentals when I travel and have even rented one in DC. I've found them to be safe and very comfortable, just make sure to use a reputable site. vrbo.com and homeaway.com are the ones I use, very good sites.|||dc really doesn't havce a vaction rental like you would find at the beach.

The drill is that in PR you wont really find apartments, the apartments u are looking for (like in the US) are called condos over here and a bit expensive, specially over the ocean view. what people over here call apartments are basically for low income people who live in projects called caserios, and u dont want to live there, its very ghetto and dangerous. so u dont want an apartment in PR, u want a condo, or a house who rents rooms(like usually students do), or a whole house for rent. if u are a student looking for a place to stay, u may want to find out what universities have dormes, we have a few who do have these facilities,specially the private institutions. we also have what we call urbanisacion, these are private houses one next to the others, kinda like townhouses. ask in san juan, they have little condos, 1-2 bedrooms, but expensive.

I'm looking into renting an apartment or condo in a prime area, the problem is I will not be there often and would love to rent it out as a vacation rental ( VRBO .com) or as corporate short-term housing while I am not using it. Is this possible if I am not the owner?
Any advice on what to look for in a contract? Also insurance coverage?
I understand sub-leasing is generally acceptable, but what about short-term vacation rentals?
Thank you!|||Sub-leasing is generally prohibited; it's not acceptable very often. Check your rental/lease agreement.
If your renters trash the place, YOU are responsible for damages as the primary lessee. I don't think you can even find renters insurance that covers sub-leasing.
Good luck.|||Actually subleasing is typically illegal. This would only be allowed if the landlord agreed to it.

I am looking into buying a cabin up in the mountains by Big Bear to use as a vacation rental.

I would say that renting a house or a condo would be a good idea, and there are a lot of choices for rentals in the Colorado area.

If you get a chance, artist Jesus Moroles has his studio there on a large property and it's very interesting to visit.|||I am going to say its not a popular place. I have lived in Texas 38 years an have never heard of it. According to their website it is 30 miles outside of Corpus Christi.

However the area is pretty nice for Texas beach and has really grown since I started visiting. The fishing has always been consistently good and there are lots of chartering services in the area.
The city has started taking alot better care of the beach's lately and Rockports location puts you a half hour away from Corpus and even closer to Port Aransas. Between all three locations there is plenty to do and alot to see.
In my opinion with the way the city has grown and continues to grow it would be a great place to visit on long weekends as well as a good investment for the future.

We are first-time vacation home renters. We are ignorant of the etiquette for this arrangement. Do you leave a gratuity for the owner at the home, mail them one, or is it unnecessary altogether? Should you tip the cleaners who will come after you leave?|||I don't tip the owners. They're usually making a nice chunk of money on my weekly rental.
I do tip the cleaning staff. I leave $5-$10 in an envelope (which I have to bring with me) and write "HOUSEKEEPING" on it.
Of course, most rental places expect you to leave the place really clean, and we do, but still, maids make lousy money, it's hard work, and I assume they appreciate it.
For the owners, I write in their guest book (most provide one) how much I enjoyed my stay and how pleased I was at how well-stocked the place was.
If and only if the place is the primary residence of the owner, rather than a rental-only place, sometimes I'll wait several months and write a little thank-you note telling them I was among their summer renters and how very much at-home I felt. Twice now the next year's slightly increased rental rate on the same house mysteriously dropped to the previous year's level when they sent the contract--presumably at the owner's request. Nice works!|||Tips aren't necessary, since you're paying the owner to stay at their place anyway. And I agree with the other answer that a tip for cleaning staff is nice, but unless you see them face to face, it might not get right to them... lots of times the owners themselves clean the home after you've gone, so unless you know for sure that there are outside cleaners, I wouldn't leave a tip for them either...

We stayed in a vacation rental in Tahoe and had an accident due to which panel of the microwave burned. It was the kind that has exhaust fan and light in it.

Is there anything we can do to bring down the hit?|||It sounds like you broke their convection oven rather than a microwave, which aren't cheap. Ask for a copy of the receipt, and then pay it unless you can prove it's inflated (get some quotes for the same unit and installation from other places in Tahoe).
In all, it sounds like they're being fair and not charging you a bunch of b.s. fees and penalties -- they just want to recover their expense. If someone came to your house and broke something, you'd want them to pay for its replacement. |||They are entitled to the depreciated value of the microwave, plus installation.

I would also seek legal advise. Some attorney's will agree too talk to you for free during an initial consultation.|||You have two choices.
Pay them, or tell them that you won't, and try to negotiate a reduction in the bill. If they won't agree, then they can sue you, and you can try to persuade the court that the charge is too high.
In general, what they are entitled to is to be "made whole" - ie returned to the same position they were in before you broke it - so the depreciated value of the microwave, plus installation, or the cost to repair it, whichever is LESS (not more, as the other answerer said)
Of course, if they took your credit card for a deposit they may just go ahead and charge it, and then you'll have to sue them for the overcharge back.

The scenario: For several months me and my kid have been planning on going on vacation with my gf and her 2 kids. We were splitting it 50/50, no brainer right!? NOW, her husband is coming for the week so it is now, family of 4, (2 adults, 2 kids) v. family of two (1 adult, 1 sm kid).
Question: Should it still be split 50/50 or divide the rent by # of adults?
Thanks for your input|||It should not be a 50/50 divide and hopefully your friend will recognize this on her own. Wouldn't it be best to take the total cost and divide it by the number of people so you get a cost per person? Doing it that way is the easiest way to make it fair. So if the rent is $1800.00 for the week the cost per person is $300.00 that would make you responsible for $600.00 and your friend the balance of $1200.00. I hope it works out for you and you have a great vacation.|||There's different schools of thought when splitting up a vacation rental. I've done it for years with family and friends. The only fair way is by bedroom not by number of people. We have for example some single people that require their own bedroom and a family of 4 that don't mind all bunking up together in one room. So its not fair to charge the family of 4 all crammed together in one room alot more than the one person who has their own room. We also don't charge people much if they are using a pull out sofa. So it really depends on how the rental is laid out and who is sleeping where. Or does one room have a private bath? and the others not? Without getting too complicated, try to simplify it but do take these types of things into consideration when splitting up the cost.|||I like duckwing's answer. I run a vacation rental resort near Starved Rock State Park. We have a two bedroom rental cabin that has a queen bed in each bedroom and a sofa sleeper and fold out futon. It doesn't cost anymore if 2 separate families are splitting it so the price doesn't go up. I could see splitting that 50/50 but doing the 33% on groceries & supplies.|||What would be the logic in splitting the costs 50/50.|||All of you probably worked pretty hard all year for this vacation. You want to have a really good time; and, you want to remain good friends.
I suggest keeping the rental costs 50/50. If you want, and especially if you did the work to find the place, you get first choice on rooms for yourself and for your child. Often rental houses have a very nice master bedroom. It may be odd for you to run off with the huge MBR while your friend and her husband are squeezed into a smaller bedroom. So, if you wouldn't take the MBR anyway, bag the first choice idea. When I have shared vacation homes with friends over the years, we took turns in the MBR--this year was for us; next year was for them. The first year we did this, I insisted on paying for the house in its entirety and treated them as guests. This made it easy to determine who got first dibs on rooms and such.
But, you may want to agree on a different split for food and other expenses. Your party is 1/3 of the adults, 1/3 of the children, and 1/3 of the total number of people. That is convenient. I suggest splitting groceries, meals, entertainment, and other supplies 33%/67%. So, if you eat out at a restaurant or rent linens or other beach equipment for your stay, you assume 33% of the total. That way you avoid asking for separate checks...unless that turns out to be to your advantage.
I suggest agreeing to this up front with your friend. Obviously, if noone drinks beer except for the husband, he could pick up that expense on his own. You collect the receipts and settle up afterwards in an emailed spreadsheet when you are back.
Living together with friends is different than inviting them over for dinner. If your friend insists on picking up 67% of the rental, push back; but, I wouldn't fight over it. Give in and let them have the MBR.
Have a great time!

If the sleeping arrangement hasn't changed with the exception of the husband sharing your friend's bed, then the 50/50 split is probably still fair. However, this should apply to the lodging arrangements only. Any additional expenses such as food, etc, should be split based on who actually incurred the expense.|||It's only fair that your girlfriend and her husband pay 2/3 of all expenses.

Question: Should it still be split 50/50 or divide the rent by # of adults?
Thanks for your input|||What would be the logic in splitting the costs 50/50.|||I think it would be fair to consider an adult with 1 and a kid with 0.5, resulting in 1.5 for you and 2 for your friend without her husband and 3 with her husband.
Calculation afterwards:
e.g. cost per week = divided by 3.5 without her husband (times 1.5 for you)
= divided by 4.5 with her husband (times 1.5 for you)
That I consider would be a fair deal.|||Assuming no changes in sleeping arrangements (husband sharing with wife) and there is not a separate charge for utilities (mainly the hot water for showers), 50/50 really shouldn't change given the marginal impact if the extra person.
That said, the family of 4 should at least offer to pay at least a little more.
Given that you have asked this more than once, I'll assume they have not. At this point, the best thing to do would probably be to scrap the whole idea since it seems to be damaging a friendship over what seems to me to be something small.|||All of you probably worked pretty hard all year for this vacation.

I'm going on vacation in March and I really want a vacation rental. I found some really cheap and nice ones off of craigslist but I'm really sceptable about going through with it. I just need to know if I'm going to get cheated out of my money or not.|||Renting a property off of Craig's List may be a gamble. In my experience I've found that listers on the site aren't any more discounted then if you were to use an accredited rental page. Try VRBO.com, vacationrentals.com, or homeaway.com. I've used all three sites several times and have never had an issue with any of the homes and often last minute have found that the owners will give additional discounts for using the sites.|||Questions to ask: Does the vacation rental have a name? If so Google it along with the word "review". If there are no reviews this should be a warning. You could also Google the ad's email address. Does this vacation rental have a website? A phone number where you can call the owner for few questions?
Do they accept credit card?
You need city sense when shopping around for a vacation rental. Good luck.|||Yes and no. Some may be legit, but first you should contact the seller and get to know them, and possibly run background checks, etc. This is extremely necessary if you are going to be staying there. Also if possible, make arrangements to check the place out before you actually give your money away.
Hope that helps!|||I have had some bad experiences with Craigslist.. :( For short-term rental in NYC try out the page www.localbigwig.com, as they guarantee a secure environment for renting an apartment.|||I've made many transactions on craigslist without a problem, so yes it is legit. just use common sense
I would like to put a deposit down on a vacation rental in another state - is PayPal a good way to do this? I know that using Western Union, money orders ect are not. I use PayPal for other transactions but never for something like a vacation rental. Thank!|||Yes, because you have some recourse if there's a problem.
When one rents vacation properties online from an individual, how does one verify that it is not a scam? If a rental owner offers a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy or a copy of the passed Safety Inspection with his/her name on it, is it considered safe? Alternatively, is it safe if the deposit check made out to the owner is mailed to the rental address? We have never rented vacation properties from individuals before so any advice will be appreciated.|||Unfortunately there is no way to be 100% sure when renting online. While there are legitimate renters there are also plenty of scammers
The first thing I would do is ask for his landline phone number so you can call him as you have some questions and you don't have time for 10 emails going back and forth. A scammer will either make excuses why he can't speak or use a pay as you go cell or say he's deaf and has to use IM/email. If they claim to be deaf, say that you have a TTY phone as your wife is also deaf so that's not a problem at all,then wait for more excuses
Mailing a check to the actual address is safer than other methods - do a google streetview search of that address just to make sure it actually looks like a vacation rental property and isn't some rundown house, abandoned factory, commercial premises, etc
You can also say that you have a family friend living not too far away that you would like to send by to check out the property for you if that would be ok. If they are legit they should not have a problem with this - then you can always come up with an excuse in advance why your friend can't make it. A scammer will come up with all sorts of excuses why this is not possible|||The best thing to do is
1) Check with the local chamber of commerce if they are a member
2) Verify online that the images given of the unit match the property photos available on line
3) Look on line for reviews of this owner at places like tripadvisor.com
4) Never pay with a check - use a credit card so you are protected just in case. If they dont accept credit cards or insist on a bank check - RUN!
5) Commonsense items: do they have a website? Is the phone number they call from in their name? are they members of any large listing sites like home away, vrbo, etc - for how long (it shows on the listing)
If for any reason during your conversations either in email or on the phone something seems off - move on to the next property. There are thousands of reputable owners who rent direct saving travelers money - but there are also some people out there who will rip you off - whether acting as a realtor, agent, or owner.|||You would do better to call a real estate office that will have an agent help you rent a vacation property.|||Look up the property records and match the names of the property owner to the ID of the person purporting to be renting the property.
NEVER pay by check. If they are in the business of renting out vacation properties they should be set up to accept credit cards. Alternatively use PayPal tied to a CREDIT card as the principal source of funding. If they won't accept credit cards or PayPal, it's just too risky unless you can inspect the property in person and meet with the owner.
Certificates of Occupancy are meaningless. All that they mean is that the property was signed off on by the building inspector's office as fit for human habitation. The name on it (if there is one at all) would be the name of the person or firm who pulled the permits in the first place and would not likely indicate the present owner. Safety Inspections are equally useless. Either one could easily be faked and you likely would have no way of knowing if it was legit or not.
Unfortunately the industry is rife with scams. If you plan on vacationing regularly in the same location, stay in a hotel the first time and research vacation rentals in person to plan for future visits. Even that isn't fool-proof but you are less likely to be scammed in person than when dealing with an unseen face by e-mail or snail-mail.
I am currently cleaning a vacation rental, but no one is managing it. They are always asking me to do extra things and I would like to set up a monthly fee for checking things that don't work, organizing and buying supplies, as well as meeting people for repairs. What is a fair fee? Keep in mind it takes me 30 minutes to drive there.|||It is not legal for you to charge money to manage rental property you do not own without a license to do so. If you are not a licensed real estate agent you should not get involved with this.|||You should hire a local person to manage the things there. That will be relatively cheaper. You ask him or her to visit once a week and fix a fee for each visit. That can be up to some $10 and some $15 if you ask that person to visit at night times. I recommend you to hire a lady there to manage your vacation house.
We are in the process of renting a vacation home and want to be sure that when we get to our destination it's not a scam. You typically have to pay the rental price up front (or a large portion of it). What are your options if you go on vacation and find that the property is not what was advertised? Once they have you rmoney, what can you do? I hate to be so untrusting, but there are so many people out there these days looking for ways to rip others off.|||credit card only

There are 5 people splitting a vacation rental with 3 bedrooms. What's the best way to split the cost? The people that are sharing bedrooms want to divide the total cost by 3.

Specifically, South Jersey.
There's everything from big gambling beach cities like Atlantic City, to cute quaint towns like Cape May and Sea Isle City, to family towns like Wildwood or Ocean City.
Ocean City, NJ has a special place in my heart. It's a dry town (still get booze in restaurants), and small but still lots to do.
Wildwood and Wildwood Crest have very cute hotels, lots of carnival stuff, and a huge sandy beach.
Wildwood and Wildwood Crest are separate but not really. They blend into eachother. One has lodging and one has stuff to do.
It's a bigger version of Ocean City, not as big as Atlantic City.
You didn't give any details - do you have kids, what is your age range, what kind of activities do you enjoy??

I do think some of the smaller beach towns along the Jersey Shore are dog friendly.

Dog friendly beach in Cape May. Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area - dogs on a leash are allowed on the beach throughout the year.

Recently planning a vacation to Disney and got linked in with a company called DVRO (Discount Vacation Rentals Online).

I found a very good website for vacation rentals... its http://www.frbo.com. For Rent By Owner properties aimed at the vacation rental market. Property owners can now list properties on the site.frbo.com offers these Florida Vacation Rentals directly from their owner or manager. Accommodations include Vacation Rentals, Florida Rentals By Owner, and Florida Vacation Homes. Book your Florida Vacation Rentals directly with the owner or manager and save hundreds. Use the region links and city name links on the map or in the tables below to book your next Florida Vacation Rental now!
The properties are in a commercial zone so it is perfectly legal for me to use them for Vacation Rentals. The City has a law on the books that says you can not do Vacation Rentals in residential neighborhoods. EVERYONE is doing it though. The City did not enforce the law for years. They are using the internet to rent out their properties and they are putting me out of business.
The City of Santa Fe is going to pass new laws and start enforcing them.
One of the biggest violators has been a couple of management companies run by licensed realtors. They are breaking the law and breaking their code of ethics.

Can I sue them

I've been researching Vacation Rentals and alot of people i've talked to Really like the Idea. Whats everybody elses thoughts?
Whats the deciding factor in your decision to rent a vacation home instead of a hotel.
Thanks|||We use a timeshare place, with two bedrooms, and a full kitchen. I love to cook, and we travel with another couple. We all have privacy, and there is a great living area for TV when we are too exhausted to go out. Always get a place with lots to do in the area, like Orlando, Daytona Beach, or a place in the mountains. Hotels are too boring, and there isn't room to spread out.|||Well I like the idea of vacation rental or time shares because you can take day one and clean it from top to bottom. You can eliminate so many germs that way. Also it can be cheaper depending on the time of year. If it is fully equipped you can also save by cooking your own meals. Not that I would want to cook on my vacation.|||we rented a vacation house at christmas in california. we chose a house instead of hotel so we could cook our own food, have the entire family together in the morning and nights instead of seperate hotel rooms, and we have little kids so they could have more room to play. honestly, for a family trip it was great we spent tim together and relaxed. if it was a quick trip or we had a lot to do everyday(and will be gone alot) a hotel is good, but the house was good to relax on the beach.|||i too recently starting using only vacation rentals: much more space, kitchen for your own food, usually not much more expensive than a hotel

US$100 may be very inexpensive to you, but for many here in Brazil it's expensive. Just to get an idea, I went once to this very good hotel called Ibis and since it was the low season we got a great rate: around US$49, which is R$90 in Brazilian currency.

Me and my family will be travelling to New York City in the spring and are looking into staying in an apartment rental as the cost of staying in a hotel is way too much.
I've done some research on this topic and I understand that under most conditions, it is illegal to rent an apartment short term. However, it looks like it is pretty common for tourists to do this, and that it is the locals that have a problem with it.
My question is, are vacation rentals common in NYC and for the most part is it safe?
And yes, I know to be aware for scams.
Thanks in advance! :)|||Yes, it's no longer legal and yes, it's still common. Any apartment you find for rent that is less than the price of a hotel is most certainly a scam. For example, 99% of the apartments advertised on Craigslist are fake and anyone naive enough to think that they can rent an entire apartment for $60, $80, $100 a night or a 2 bedroom for $100 or $150 deserves to get ripped off.|||Have you considered being part of a home swap program?

Hello. I was researching places for my family and I to stay at this summer in Panama City. I was looking for a place that is affordable, on the beach, and large enough to fit about 10 people. Any suggestions as to how I could find that?|||Try the link below. It might be alittle big but I guess it can be a start. My family liked this place and we had such a great time here.
Three of my friends and I are looking to go to Panama after we graduate this June. Most places we find in our price range require there to be a renter over 25. Does anyone know any places that don't require this, or where I could look to find a place. Were looking to stay 3 nights around the 8-11 of June. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks|||Since you didn't give your budget, I can't say with 100% certainty that we would have something to accommodate your group. But all of our properties in Panama City beach will designate if the renters can be under 25. Just doing a few spot checks on rentals under $250/night- i found a few that are fine with renters under 25:

Water is a little cold so if you want to swim in the ocean it is not that much fun but the air temp is perfect. Shorts, no shirt, lay on the beach without sweating weather. As far as places to stay that are beach vacation rentals I only know of one online place that rents at a discount and it is Destin-Retreat.com|||I'm going to let you in on a secret. I don't know why; I guess I'm just feeling generous today. Many state parks are on the beach and some have cabins for rent. They run roughly $100/night, and the ones I've used have two bedrooms, bath, living room, kitchen, screened porch and clothesline/bbq out back. The ones I've been to also have a private beach area that only has access to the campers, so they're never crowded. The Florida State Parks are usually gorgeous, clean, safe and well-maintained. You won't be disappointed.
I'm looking for a vacation rental that sleeps 7 people and has all equipment included such as kayaks, fishing stuff, snorkeling gear, etc. I would like for it to have it's own dock, so we can swim in our own water, as well as go to the beach too.

This works best if you also have a vacation rental somewhere that you can offer in exchange for places you like to travel to.

Thanks guys!|||Hi There. If you're looking for any vacation rentals, you have to try Owner Direct Vacation Rentals. They have a couple of vacation rentals in New Jersey http://www.ownerdirect.com/accommodation鈥?/a> at the moment...
I'd have to caution you though, that it's unusual for any home owner to rent their home out to a group of young people, especially when the oldest of the group is only 18 (if that's what you meant: "ONE of us is 18").
If you're planning to try to get around any age requirements, you must be fully aware that if something (really, could be anything) happens/goes wrong... there will be heavy duty consequences for whoever is in charge of the group, if not the whole group (parents included).
Having said all that, it's sometimes possible to find a place where the owner might be OK with it, having been reassured by a responsible adult that everything will be OK. It never hurts to ask a potential vacation rental owner... the worst that can happen is that they say no.
Hopefully everything works out!

okay, so i'm thinking on visiting Beirut .. not for about a year. but its been on my mind forever .i'm looking for extended hotels, or vacation rentals ..condos..suites..apartments . ect.. for just a month. not something too expensive. only one bedroom. something DOWNTOWN where everything is at . does anyone have an suggestions, on what i should look into ?.|||you are going to be lost and not know where you are or what you are doing..
talk to some tourism agency or smth..and they'll make it all easy for you :P|||there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money.

Hi everyone,
I'm taking my GF to NYC in a couple of weeks, I'm looking for a nice place to stay, I was thinking of reserving those aparments that people rent, is anyone here familiar with one that they can recommend? I was looking at hotels but someone refered me to bed and breakfast and vacation rentals...
Here are a few that I've contacted --

Any recommendations, please let me know
Thanks.|||There are Hotel Suites that are really nice, I recommend Hotel Beacon on 75th Street, Broadway, it is a very nice place that I enjoyed staying at.
Lovely Area, unforgetable memories

I know it's kind of late to ask but hoping someone else has rented thru them and maybe it would help stop my sister from thinking so negative about them. I did check the better business bureau of Florida and found nothing. The place I usually rent houses from were booked so I decided to go with Florida Five Star and got us a poolside home 1 mile from Disney, now my sister thinks we are going to end up at a vacant lot with no house. If anyone has ever used this company please let me know. Thank you!!|||I believe this company finds a house for you, and you rent it through them. It would be less expensive just to find a vacation home yourself, and deal directly with the homeowner. I have rented homes before in Orlando, and that is how I prefer to do business. Have you seen pictures of this particular house? I have read about companies that show photos of a house, and you get one "comparable." That usually translates to "not as nice as the one in the picture." There are many sites that shows homes for rent: www.vrbo.com www.greatrentals.com
www.cyberrentals.com- These sites just advertise the person's home, and you contact the owner directly. Most owners have their own websites.
You might also want to search Tripadvisor or pose this question on www.tripadvisor.com in the Orlando forum to see if any other travelers have used them before.|||No but i've driven by those rentals in Orlando, Bradenton Coast, Sarasota and Longboat Key and they baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Just gonna say that they are 3000 a week but its worth it. I live in Florida so i sometimes just drive around to look at them|||no.
Ok so I posted on Craigslist that I needed a job and this guy contacted me saying he has a job offer for me. He says he's an agent working for Home away Vacation Rentals, but he won't post the details on an email. Like where it is. He'll only do it through Yahoo messenger. I'm kinda suspicious about that. Like it's a scam. Should I try it anyway?|||100% scam.
There is no job.
There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.
The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "supply company" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
When you refuse to send him your cash he will send increasingly nasty and rude emails trying to convince you to go through with his scam. The scammer could also create another fake name and email address like "FBI@ gmail.com", "police_person @hotmail.com" or "investigator @yahoo.com" and send emails telling you the job is legit and you must cash the fake check and send your money to the scammer or you will face legal action. Just ignore, delete and block those email addresses. Although, reading a scammer's attempt at impersonating a law enforcement official can be extremely funny.
Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.
Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.
Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.
If you google "fake check cashing job", "fraud Western Union scam", "check mule moneygram scam" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.|||SEEMS LEGIT.|||that sounds like a scam to me

I am thinking about retiring in Puerto Escondido Mexico and would like a rental to decide if it is somewhere I would like to relocate in Mexico.|||I have been to Puerto Escondido about a dozen times in the last 5 years. What I have found is that it is a bucolic paradise that has been discovered by people from all over the world who are NOT interested in plastic DisneyWorld types of places.

Our family put deposits on two vacation rentals in Hawaii. We had to cancel the trip and gave 75 day notice to the owners/agents.

Does Hawaii have a consumer advocate? Can we sue them in small claims? We live in California as do both owners, do we sue in Hawaii or (preferably) California? Thanks for the help!|||They should have had a cancellation policy. You would have to check the policy to see if you are entitled to a refund. If you sent the money to California for the deposit, you sue in California courts. If it went to Hawaii, then the courts in Hawaii would handle it.
Think about there side of it. They took their house of the rental market because you promised to rent it. Now, if they can not rent the place for the same time period, they are out the money because you changed your mind.
Many vacations have penalties for cancelling.

|||Hey Rahul,
Great vacation rental, it is always better to hire vacation rentals than hotels. http://www.alwaysonvacation.com|||Looks like a beautiful place. We almost always use a vacation rental for extended vacations (longer than a week) - for the advantages of space, homelike atmosphere, full kitchen, etc. then you can have a quick breakfast or lunch without having to eat every meal out. In most cases, you do give up the benefit of housekeeping services, and laundry (towels/linens) service as well, along with other amenities you might find in a hotel (concierge, shuttles, taxi, etc.) If you plan to be on the go the whole time, a hotel might be a better choice. Rentals are a nicer place to settle-in. Look for interior photos on rentals, and it may also help to inquire if there is a management service available if you encounter any problems or aren't satisfied once you are there. If there is a reputable management company, you shouldn't have anything at all to fear. Hope you have an enjoyable holiday!

A handheld shower head -- you know, the kind you can detach and use to wash just legs without getting head wet.
A sound system where people can play their own CDs (or in my case, listen to my favorite NPR program) instead of TV only.
A night light. A dimmer switch for some of the room lights. A fan.
A comfy recliner with a reading light.
WiFi.
An outdoor "hose off" area -- not quite a car wash area, of course, but a place to rinse off large items before putting them back into the car OR bringing them into your nice, clean rooms.
One of my favorite hotels has tiny tiki huts with table and chairs scattered around the property, so guests can have drinks and food outdoors, but near their room. Guests can borrow a small charcoal grill (with charcoal and a meat flipper). There is also a small fleet of "trusty rusty" bicycles for guest to borrow for quick errands.
Fresh fruit in the lobby instead of just cookies. I don't mind paying for it, but some of us avoid cookies.

Are vacation home rentals and cabin rentals the way to go when you're traveling with a family? They seem to be a very popular alternative to hotels.
How many people have actually rented a cabin or vacation home for their vacation? And did you rent by owner or through a company? Do you recommend it?
Thanks!|||We rented a cabin (vacation home) for the 1st time about 3 years ago. It was alot cheaper than the other response you got (I guess it just depends on where you are going and how much the rentals are there).
We went to Blue Ridge GA and loved it so much, we bought our own cabin and started renting it out as well. To me, it's a great deal because vacation homes offer alot of privacy (a whole house) and space vs a small hotel room. We are a family of 5 (3 kids) so when we go to hotels, we need to get 2 adjoining rooms. We can rent a upscale vacation home or cabin for less than the price of 2 hotel rooms so even for a family, it's well worth it.
Vacation homes today have everything from game rooms to private hot tub and fireplaces on screen porch, multiply bedrooms and bath, fully equipped kitchens, gas grills, swimming pools and more............so it's worth a little extra for the added ammenities and space.
For us, it's definately the way to go!|||well, the only way we can do it is because we are 4 or 5 single people splitting the cost. I think it's pretty expensive to do as a family. We're renting a house on Tybee Island near Savannah GA and it's about $2400 for the week. If ti were just me and a husband with some kids, I could never afford it. But because it is me, my 3 adult daughters and my ex-husband (their dad whom I divorced 15 years ago but am still friends with-only friends!) as well as our 3 grandkids, we split the cost 5 ways and it's less than $500 apiece for each of us for the week- much more manageable! We go through a company, because they guarantee cleanliness and lots of other things. When we go other places, we get hotel rooms- it just depends. Check out all options!

Looking for vacation rentals around New Smyrna up towards cape canaveral down to pompano beach. From Feb 23 - March 22, 2007|||You are looking for a rental somewhere between New Smyrna and Pompano Beach? Wow, they're like 200 miles apart.
I can only speak intelligently about a few place that are about 1/2 way between each of your endpoints. Cocoa Beach is about 5 miles South of Cape Canaveral (the closest beach to it). It has the famous Ron Jon surf shop, which is surrounded by hotels and motels. I'm sure there are condos or timeshares for rent, too, but I don't know of any off the top of my head. Here's a link to help you get started: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-47鈥?/a>
About 20 miles south of Cocoa is the Satellite Beach/Melbourne Beach. Melbourne is a really great town that has pretty much everything you'd want - whether it's food/shopping chains, or Ma and Pa stores, or nothing at all. Around Eau Galle Blvd and AIA is the heart of the beachside rentals. To the South is a Hilton, Double Tree and several others, including some family owned places. North of Eau Galle you'll find several condo & timeshares for rent. Here's the link: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-475043-m鈥?/a>

it seems that every place at the beach we wanted to stay at had a restriction against guests under 21. why is that, and is that true for every place to stay?? I mean, 18 year olds can vote and join the army but why can't we book hotel rooms, cruises, buy airline tickets and rent apartments? what is so different between say someone who is 19 and someone who is 21?|||Hello Jewels For The King.
Hello Jewels For The King.
Much of what Duke said is true, especially about the noise and the higher percentage of damage from teens than from the over 21 customers. I don't think you have to consider all being lost in your search for a nice room to stay in at a quality location. I'm going to proceed with the assumption you are referring to something in the neighborhood of one or two rooms for two to four people. If you are looking for more rooms for many people, the hotel will see it as a potential 'party happening' and forbid it.
First call around ahead of time describing how many rooms for how many people and how long you will need it etc. Don't go expecting them to allow more people to stay in a room than it is designed to hold. Then give them the dates and any other information they ask for. DO NOT bring up your age unless they ask. If they book the room to you without asking, don't volunteer it. Make sure you get your room confermation number and any email/postal mail verification they will give you and DON"T LOSE IT. They would be very hard-pressed to justify turning you away from a room they allowed you to advance book after your traveling any distance to get there . Should they try, you should insist on speaking to the manger and make it clear you will not leave without speaking to him/her and calling the corperate office should you not get satisfaction. Most management level middle executinve type would rather eat they're socks than have a customer draw undesirable attention to them.
When you book your rooms, you will probably do best sticking to bigger named hotel/motels as they are more competitive and more likely to do all they can to keep your business. Also try to use a credit card from someone above 21 such as your parent's...Hint, though this may help get you the room, it will also make your parents or who ever's card you use libel for any damage.
Wet bars can be locked or emptied quite easily so they are not a true basis for baring you. Also remember, whichever credit card you use will have to have a much higher credit amount left on it than just the cost of the room. They may ask for a damage deposit etc. They also will want to run it to see if there is a large enough credit balance to cover any non-room options you may decide to add to your final bill such as pay for view movies, in hotel purchases such as the gift shop, restaurant bills and/or room service and long distance calls. If one chain refuses, keep trying.
If you are looking to book a hotel for more of a large party gathering for say a spring break or after hours music concert party, you will most likely always be rejected. They base this on past experience and past damage and will avoid repeats of bad experiences.
Another and perhaps the best method would be to engage a travel agent to book your rooms and flight itinareries also if you will be traveling by plane. The will find you what you want and normally be able stay within any reasonable budget. Their fees are generally paid by the facilities they book you in or on. Let them argue out the details for you.
I hope this information helps and the best of the New Yew to you,
Lenny.|||Most hotels serve booze; many have it in the mini-bar in your room. The fact that unsupervised college age kids are notorious for drinking underage, damaging hotel rooms, and generally annoying other guests might have something to do with it. Businesses *DO* have the right to restrict who they will do business with, no matter what you think or how much you complain about it. Most car rental companies won't do business with anyone under 25; it sucks but that's their right so long as they're consistent. Age is *NOT* a protected category, so you have no legal leg to stand on.
Maybe if 18 year olds didn't whine so much about their 'rights' (but never, strangely, demanding more responsibility) more people would want to do business with them.

I own property right next to a golf course in a rural area out in the country and would like to develope the land and build a cabin or two just as a weekend get away rental property. I am a single mom and have heard that there are several grants for women started businesses but I haven't found them yet. My property is in East Texas and would like to know if someone could point me in the right direction.|||It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.
Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html鈥?/a>
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO鈥?/a>
Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.|||Your local library will have books on various types of grants that people can qualify for. One author coming to mind is Matthew Lesco but surely there are others in the same area. Make sure the concept is legitimate.

The two previous answers are spot on the money. However,there are numerous sites in NC you can find on Yahoo search.
If I were doing your search I would get a keen understanding of what your needs are. i.e. hot tub, ocean view, number of beds/baths, water front etc... and search on those attributes.
On VRBO you can communicate with the owner/manager via a form. The form allows for only 500 characters (including spaces.)
You'd be well secured in knowing you are dealing with a real VR owner/agent by asking some specific questions that only the owner/agent would know the answer to.
So here's what my advise is... go to my site:
www.vacation-rental-info.com/vrib.
I don't own or rent out any properties. I have been renting VRs for the better part of a decade and with that knowledge I've written a guide.
You can get chapter four of my guide for free there and the chapter 4 copy has a discount code for the full guide. So go there, download chapter four and if it seems like the right thing to do, get the full guide.
It's guaranteed to beat your expectations or it's free.
So there you go!
Good luck. You can email me at my site!
Make some trails!

There are other places without the "fine dining" option, such as Old Orchard Beach Maine, Wells Maine, Hampton Beach, NH, Seabrook, NH, Salisbury, MA, Naragansett, RI.
Tips from a local -
Martha's Vineyard is probably the closest to Hollywood's portrayal of New England. The movie Jaws was filmed there.
In Maine the two picturesque beach places are Kennebunkport and Ogunquit.
The coast of Maine becomes primarily rocky once you go "north" (technically east) of Portland, ME.
The ocean water on the south side of Cape Cod is much warmer than the other side. If you go to Maine, wait until August otherwise you won't be in the ocean so much.|||search billow

We have no way of checking it in person.
I appreciate your help on this. Thanks.|||There are many, many scams on craigslist! Things to avoid:
Apartments under $100/night - You'll find loads of beautifully furnished apartments advertised for $60, $65, $70 per night (or 2 or 3 bedrooms for $100-$125/night) with amazing photographs, sun drenched rooms and decor. These are NOT actual NYC apartments, they are pictures taken from other cities, real estate sites, magazines, etc. .
Most scammers will ask you to wire a deposit via Western Union. DON'T DO IT! They price the nightly rates low to attract you, but their real goal is to get you to send a deposit, which you'll never see again. And contrary to popular belief, you are also not 100% safe using Paypal, as the scammers have begun using that as well. If you do use paypal, use a credit card so you can do a chargeback if there's a problem.
Another obvious way to expose a scammer is that they list several apartments at the same time (in a row) with similarities such as using a yahoo email account (also ymail, gmail) or broken english in the ad or in their response (most scammers are overseas). Look for traits such as writing an email address twice like this:
joe_scammer@yahoo.com
joe_scammer@yahoo.com
(They use the same pattern but with different email names)
Another way to expose a scammer is to flag the ad as "spam" and hit refresh in your browser. Many scam ads will get removed after a single flag, because they post in other cities as well and get flagged all the time. Many scammers will post especially late at night/early in the morning when there is less of a chance that they'll be flagged since less people visit, but they do also post all day long.
Last and most important.... do a google search for the email, name or address of the person or website. There are many websites & blogs dedicated to getting ripped off. There are even some websites that advertise on craigslist that have scammed or left people homeless when they arrived.
There are of course, legit ads on craigslist but it's up to you to do your homework!
For example, Hotel-Alternatives.com is a reputable site that advertises on craigslist: http://www.hotel-alternatives.com
Good luck!|||If the offer is too good to seem true than it's a scam. Check out the link to see what craigslist has to say about scams.|||Personally, I would never use Craigslist. I know too many people that have had bad experiences with it.|||Nope...|||There had been some good advice posted. I would add that you should verify the existence of the property and ownership to the best of your ability. Nothing is 100%. There are a lot of good, legitimate vacation rentals posted on Craigslist, but unfortunately the lack of any kind of verification makes it easy for a scammer to steal an ad off of a reputable site and place on CL.
I've baited a few of these scammers and found a couple of consistencies.
1. Like mentioned above they want a wire transfer or a money order.
2. Their rental agreements have horrendous spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes
3. They are not very detailed in their email responses. The dates are always available even though you do not give them specific arrival and departure days. Yet, they will not respond to detailed questions about the property, location or neighborhood.
4. The rates are often lower than market rate. They want a sizable deposit up front.
5. They don't know what they are advertising. They may call it an apartment when it's a house or condo.
6. They are probably using a gmail or yahoo email. Yahoo is great because you can track down the IP when they mail you. (Surprise it's Nigeria).
7. The address in the ad is bogus or the address of a public building.
Keep in mind that vacation rental owners are targets of scams, also. Owners have to be equally suspicious of Craigslist inquiries. We have a vacation rental and I use CL to market. However, I only use it to drive traffic to our personal website for the rental.
My recommendation is to get to know who you are doing business with. Can they answer questions about the property, location or other? Are they listed in any local business directories? Is the rental agreement written in clear, plain English (or appropriate native language)? Is the contact phone number and address appropriate?
Most important: If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is not very good.

During the day you can go on any of the many beautiful beaches by the shore of the lake, do some shoping, sightseeing in the city or just sit in one of the many caf茅s in any of the narrow streets in the Old Town and enjoy. For all the young people, the nightlife is great and vibrant. The cafes work late at night, but there鈥檙e also so many nightclubs where you can carry on from there.
For sightseeing, there鈥檙e enormous many old churches, my favourite ones are Plaoshnik, more than 15 centuries old, St. Jovan Caneo, St. Naum鈥?If you climb on the Samuil Fortress, just 5 min from the centre, you get amazing sight on the whole lake.
The Lake is clean, one of the oldest ones in Europe, from 1980 protected by UNESCO as a place of world cultural and natural inheritance. Most of the lake鈥檚 plant and animal species are endemic, which also makes Ohrid unique. The most famous among these are two types of Ohrid Trout. You should try them prepared on the traditional way. Mmmmm鈥?br>
Ohrid is also known as the site of the first Slavic university run by St. Clement and St. Naum at the end of the 9th century. Ohrid, also, used to be the centre of the orthodox Christianity in the whole region. There鈥檚 so much history there鈥?
And DO NOT miss a boat trip on the lake, especially at night, believe me one of a kind experience!!
I must not forget to mention the hospitability of the people there.
In the last few years Ohrid is soooo popular among foreign tourists, especially Greeks, Dutchmen, Bulgarians, Serbians etc. So, check it out!!!

good luck|||Depends on where you live. Some states require licenses for such activity and others do not. Check your state real estate licensing board regulations.|||It may depend on the state, but I don't think that is true. In most states, property managers do not have to be licensed realtors, but you should double check with your states Real Estate Comission or a local property management company to be sure.

I live in a beach condo with my disabled wife and her two service animals. The condo complex is predominately (over 75%) weekly or monthly vacation rentals which are managed by several different management companies.
For the purposes of the law, as it applies to my wife's service animals, would this complex be considered differently than a condo complex which was primarily occupied by long-term renters and residents? In other words, isn't it more of a business than a residence and therefor shouldn't it be governed more by ADA law rather than FHA law?|||It depends. It sounds like it is still a residential condominium complex - it just so happens that the owners rent out their units. If the complex was owned by one company and it had mixed used -commercial and residential - the ADA might very well apply. I doubt very much it does in your case.|||It's likely covered by federal fair housing law because they are rental units as opposed to transient lodging, like a hotel or motel. Here's a general overview of federal fair housing law as it applies to service animals:

in my area--beach condos are rented by individual owners....they are essentially private residences|||You might want to consult an attorney that specializes in ADA law and FHA law.

I'm planning my summer vacation I'm going to take. Most likely in the outer banks of north carolina. I can't find any web site that'll rent out houses to a non-family group of people ie: just a group of friends and that kind of thing. Does anyone know of a web site that will rent out to that type of group all 21 and up? I've even offered to give references and that kind of thing and I'm still having trouble. Any recommendations would help.|||Give this website a try http://www.vrbo.com/
I'm not sure of their policies but I'd wager you can find someone here that will rent to your group.
Hope this helps.|||Take a look at LGN, where you will find lots of one week vacation packages for groups up to 8

I'm looking for a summer vacation rental at the jersey shore (new jersey) and wanted to know the best way to find one?|||You can start by going to top local rental sites such as www.JerseyShoreVacations.com and www.JerseyShoreRentals.com where rental owners and realtors can list ther rentals for only $9.95 a year, much less than any other rental listing website... and have the ability to look a pics, availability, detailed descriptions and more, or you could spend hundreds of hours calling all 172 broker agencies along the Jersey Shore to find the one perfect rental for your summer vacation. Most smart renters utilize the internet first, then go oldschool after all other options have been tried.|||You may be set on a rental property but we are in Avalon and could help you out if you wanted rental property suggestions.

Hi, i'm flying to new york with my bf soon and we can't afford $300 per night in a hotel, so we are looking at apartment rentals on craigslist. But i'm scared to get scammed. how much can you rely on that?
Have you ever stayed in one? can you recommend something?|||Instead of doing that, why not try looking at hotels in other boroughs or even NJ? They'll be less expensive than a hotel in Manhattan and they'll be more reliable than booking something through Craigslist. You don't want to get to NY and find that the apartment you've rented doesn't exist.

Me and a few friends are planning a trip to nyc in sept. but we'd prefer not to stay in an over priced hotel and chill in the city like local new yorkers.

The rule of thumb i tell all my guest (I live in New York) that if its too good to be true don't fall for it. Most places that rent vacation rentals in NY will accept credit cards, and I suggesting using one just in case you get there and the place doesn't exist (be ware people are running scams all the time). I suggest doing your due diligence and rent from someone who sounds honest, and willing to give you information such as a local phone number (local numbers include area codes 718, 212, 646, 347, 516, 631), a local address where you can meet to do the exchange.
