The primary benefit to the vacation renter of short stay rentals is that they get a feel for a place without spending money on all the extras.

Vacation rentals have had a checkered reputation in recent years but this is a created construct. The primary benefit to the vacation renter is that he or she gets a feel for a place without spending money on all the extras (idges, houses, etc.). The renter usually pays a modest deposit of anything from a few hundred dollars up to several thousand dollars. The idea is to have fun on the trip and have a great time at the short stay rentals without heavy pricing. Expenses, such as condominiums or meal deals do not come into play. And, of course, if you're staying for more than a week or two during a period when vacation rentals are off peak, the meal spots are included in the rental fee.

Depending on the exact services offered and the duration of the rental, some rental companies require a deposit and others do not. While some companies will give you the option of using their services long-term and having the price billed to you, this is not always the case. On the short stay rentals questionnaire forum, we asked both property owners and travel reviews while others provided the answer.

The owners of vacation rental companies we contacted agreed that they usually receive 50% of the rental fee in advance, the second half amount due when they arrive and the last payment is usually for pick up and personal belongings.

The owners also agree that they will only rent for times of high demand so that's why we see "off season" as the peak rental season of the year. Of course, for this to work on a perfect holiday, you would need to do your research on short stay rentals by looking at when other people are planning to go so you can tailor your rental period accordingly. I have found many people choose to do this so they have a longer rental period when it is available.

One of our renters got a very nice unit at a very reasonable price. One downside was there was no air conditioning and the place was very cold. They also only allowed personal belongings and limited to 3 weeks of rentals so it was restrictive for short stay rentals.

RENTAL BENEFITS
1. There is no slower rental season
2. You are your own boss
3. You get to enjoy location, history, and events without all the hassle
4. You are able to choose the best vacation rental unit that meets your needs.
5. You do not have to spend all your vacation time hunting for the most affordable deals.
6. You do not have to worry about the move because there are many vacation rental companies who offer long term rentals.

Once you decide on short stay rentals , take the free service quotes to determine which units suit your needs and what is above and beyond the costs. Sometimes there are cheaper hotels located 50 miles from your place of employment. Make sure you use their services and stay in the way of necessary dishes etc.

Once you select rental companies, do the initial inspection, check for cleanliness and damages. We strongly advise you to bring a cleaning and electrical equipment for the initial permit. It saves the rental company time and you yourself a lot of worry. Hire a cleaning company for your short stay rentals and locks so that you know there are no extra charges for any clean up etc. Go through all the rules, regulations, and laws on the rental lease agreement in the rental companies' agreement. I strongly suggest you consult with a lawyer since everything is written in a customer contract.

Suggestions: Be sure you have all the necessary lock and key items before you sign the rental lease agreement. Before moving in, ask for the copy of the police report if there is one.
