Discounts on lakeshore rentals in Michigan
June 2, 2009 Rental property managers from Silver Lake to South Haven are reporting 10 to 20 percent discounts for properties. Owners are also forgoing annual price increases or offering incentives to make the best of the 10-week peak summer rental season. With weekly vacation rentals averaging $1,700 and going up to $5,000, discounts can amount almost to a free day at the beach. Owners will discount for an upcoming week that's not rented but, if you're calling now to rent in August, there's likely no discount. A lot of properties will now do a three-day minimum but, if someone walks in the door, we will book them for just one night if there are vacancies. Part of the reason our rentals are up is that people are shifting away from the all-inclusive vacations and cruises, sticking closer to home and doing family vacations at the beach.
