[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see the appeal for some but we don't want to visit the same place every summer. We do annual trips with my parents, siblings and our families but we pick a different vrbo house or resort so that we can visit different places. It also lets us siblings who are spread across the country each get a turn at a shorter flight. [/quote]

We visit monthly or whenever we feel like it, plus take vacations further away.[/quote]

+1.  For many it’s a weekend home or getaway.  It’s not a vacation home.[/quote]

I guess if it's a lifestyle you are used to it seems a normal thing. But when I think of where I might want to enjoy a weekend away (mountains, lakeside, beach), those all are 2+ hours drive and the last thing I want to do after work on a Friday is sit in traffic for a couple hours+. The only way I can see wanting this is if I was opting to live someplace really small/not nice location to be close to work but really wanted to live in the country so the couple hours of traffic would be worthwhile to avoid spending the weekend in a day-to-day home I didn't actually enjoy.  Or, as a transition to retirement if I wanted to move to that area and was willing to put up with the hassle to use it occasionally until then.

I don't think there's anything wrong with buying a 2nd home if that's the lifestyle you want. It just doesn't interest me at all.[/quote]

Many people with weekend homes at the DE beaches like us don’t go Friday after work. We have flexibility.  As long as we leave by 1:30pm it’s no big deal and easy.   Or leave at 7pm if you can’t leave early and no big deal.

It’s also fantastic for numerous long 3 day weekends throughout the year.  Leave Thursday night and back Sunday evening.[/quote]
