Good Friends Share Luxury Vacation Rentals
July 16, 2008. As The Wichita (Kansas) Eagle notes, growing up means changing habits -- even when it comes to vacationing. A recent article on their website shows that cramped motel rooms just won't cut it past a certain age.
The article lays out a very thorough argument for using a "summer share," a home, cabin or condominium rented out on a weekly, monthly, and sometimes even seasonal basis. To begin with, they provide more space. Other advantages include the overall privacy and "social hub" they create.
Of course, friends should choose their getaway partners wisely. Beware of Over-Organizers, Cheapskates and Freeloaders, the article warns.
There are also some good ground rules. If someone does the lion's share of work making reservations, oganizing the trip, etc., then they deserve the best room -- or at least a good break on their share of the rent. When it comes to paying up, by the way, set deadlines in advance that participants must meet, or risk losing their spot.
Whether, you're staying at the beach or in the mountains, this article has something interesting for everyone.
