Unless you’re scrubbing toilets and vacuuming it’s not that bad. It’s about an hour the day you check out. Strip the beds, make sure dishwasher is up, take out the trash, turn thermostat up or down. At least that’s our experience vacationing with 10 people (2 families with kids plus grandparents) and has   been manageable and worth it to all stay together. I only pick places that claim to have a cleaner turn the place over between clients, however![/quote]
You don’t get it. I don’t want to do this crap on vacation. [/quote]

DP.  The only rental I've been where I've felt the checkout chores were OTT was on Cape Cod, and it was not a rental I chose- we were with my parents and sibling's family.  I try to stick to places where the only obligations are to take out the trash/recycling, start the dishwasher, etc.  If that's still too much for you, that's fine! Just stick to hotels or cruises.

I think what this thread illustrates is that not everyone has the same idea of "relaxing."  Heck, my own definition of relaxing can vary depending on whether it's just DH and I or with our kids.  When my still young-ish kids are involved, it's more relaxing for me to have more space and to not have to go out for every single meal during a week-long vacation.[/quote]
