[quote=Anonymous]We have a summer house (Cape Cod, so we don’t go a lot in the off season). No regrets and we feel like we use it enough to make it totally worthwhile. Our kids love it and have worked there during high school and some college summers (super easy to get a summer job in a summer season location). We have had houses there for about 15 years. Surprisingly few issues. We do have a caretaker and outsource landscaping and cleaning. So we spend some time on home related projects when we are there, but not much. It’s not cheap though. Utilities, insurance, landscaping, caretaker, etc. The recent nor’easters cost us maybe $600- had to take out a couple of trees that blew over, lost food in the fridge/freezer from a week of power being out, and cost to pay the caretaker to deal with it. That’s the first time we’ve had storm damage like that. [/quote]
