Rental Homes In Warren MI That Fit Your Taste And Lifestyle

By Joyce Cole


There are a number of choices to make when planning a vacation. Typically, my biggest decision is where we will stay. That can change depending on the type of vacation we are taking. Is it just me and my husband? Will children be coming along? Is it a large group vacation? Do you tend to stick to one type of lodging for every vacation or do you fluctuate as most people do? Hotels are attractive because they don't typically have a minimum rental time like condos and Rental Homes in Warren MI, which usually require a week-long rental or more.

If you are vacationing for a long weekend, then a hotel might be right for you. Also, with so many online options like Hotels.com, Travelocity, and Expedia, chances are you can find a very competitive rate depending on your time of travel. Hotel lodging also allows you to earn reward points if you are a frequent traveler and member of a rewards program like Marriott Rewards.

Before going into rental homes, make sure you have them thoroughly examined for mold. Mold can be toxic and very harmful to you and your family. You should also check for signs of rodents or roaches. If you see any signs of these issues, request that the problem is taken care of before you move in your belongings.

It might be hard for your family to know that they might have to move again in a couple of years. It makes it difficult for the wife to settle and be at home, and it makes it difficult for the kids to make a place their own.

For those of you with the "Continental Breakfast" defense, think about this: You have to get up at six or seven am, with one hour, to go and get a breakfast that may cost you nothing. But everyone who has been there has gotten the opportunity to and probably has touched over half of the food (after all, a lot of choosy people are going to be going through so that they can find the best pieces, morsels, etc).

However, there are several similarities between hired homes and condos. Dollar for dollar, condos, and hired houses beat hotel rooms by a long shot. Condos and hired homes will always have a full kitchen. Eating in is a lot cheaper than dining out for every meal during your vacation. You'll save money by loading up on groceries early in the week and cooking at least two meals a day.

That still allows you to go out to eat every evening for dinner if you choose. Always be sure to ask the owner or booking company to tell you exactly what's in the kitchen, down to cooking utensils and silverware, and what supplies will you need to bring along such as linens, beach towels, etc.

Condos and rental homes offer a bit more flexibility in negotiation especially if you are traveling during the off season. It doesn't hurt to ask for a better price. With today's economy, fewer people are vacationing, and there are a lot of empty condos and houses for rent. Owners would rather make some rental income than none at all. So don't be shy. Make an offer. If that owner turns you down, there are plenty of other condos to turn to.
