Vacation rental homes are a time honored tradition among American families,
especially during the summer months when the kids are off from school and can
enjoy themselves at the beach. Many vacation homes have weekly or even monthly
rates, but a majority of these vacationing families rent the house for a month
or more. While many of your personal belongings will be left behind, unattended
for long periods of time and without any supervision, it is important to make
arrangements for a neighbor or family member close by to act as a caretaker to
ensure you come back to your home in the same condition as when you left. If
you do not have anyone to do you this favor there are companies available, for
a fee, that offer personalized home care services.
A great option to consider is self storage or even seasonal storage facilities
where you can save money over a house sitting choice and store your most prized
possessions in a secure, climate controlled environment that has full CTV
(closed circuit television) security systems and twenty-four hour watchmen
patrolling the premises. Depending on the amount of storage space you need,
this could range from $40.00 to $300.00 per month in fees.

There is never any contractual obligation or lease involved with renting a
storage space; this is a month to month agreement with payment due usually at
the beginning of the new month and notification of cancellation required 2
weeks prior to moving your stuff out. Upon renting your storage space, most
facilities offer either a complimentary rental truck for do it yourself moves
or they have relationships with several local
moving companies that can help you by doing all the
heavy work.
Storage options don’t have to be just relegated to the renters themselves, the
owners of these vacation homes can benefit greatly as well from having reserve
furniture, carpets, extra appliances and more in storage, near at hand for any
emergency and readily available for seasonal changes.
