Seasonal Storage & Vacation Rental Homes
Vacation rental homes is 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. |
