[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a second home beach place. I slept over only a few days first two summers.

My problem was at time it was too close to my primary. My wife and kids we would go down Sat after lunch. Go to beach for a few hours, go back to place, change shower, go out to dinner and most times just drive back home. I was VRBOing it once in a while and did not feel like making a mess with sheets, towels, kitchens. Now I live too far from it.

I dont regret it I paid cash for it $290,000 and have it rented for $2,350 a month and is currently worth maybe $330,000. Not a big gain, but when I retire I can use it again.

I never once had any management or cleaning crew for place. Frankly I rented it a few times. Usually folks on way out threw sheets in washing machine and ran dishwasher before they left. So all I had to do was run washing machine and empty dishwasher. Everyone vacuumed and swept and took out garbage.

Once a lady left expensive earrings which I found and immediately texted her. If I had a cleaning crew who knows. [/quote]

Before we bought a house we rented beach houses and we stopped renting ones that didn't require professional cleaning because they get disgusting. And we were going at the end of August when the accumulate lack of real cleaning had piled up. Depending on the price point if you want to do seasonal rentals you probably need to find a cleaning service.[/quote]
