Why Renting by Owner Can Save You Money

By Kevin Mitchell

At ShoreRentals.com you will find matchmaking at its finest. This beach lover's website is where vacationers go find their shore accommodations. In turn, ShoreRentals.com is where owners go to list their house, townhouse, condo, or villa for rent to vacationers. And there, they find each other!

If you're tired of lodging where the front-desk clerk can't be found, or high-end hotels where the doorman knows your every move and tips his hand at every turn, those tips can add up quickly.

At ShoreRentals.com, owners can compare their rental units to other similar rentals in the same location. Listings include detailed pictures and descriptions of the rental. The savvy owner understands that to price their property attractively will help them stand out among the competition.

Owners of these properties charge one upfront price for the rental length of time. Compare this to renting from a company that manages the property for the owner. Such companies often include additional fees due to the middlemen involved. These extra fees are never outlined for you; they are simply included. You can skip this bumped up rental price by renting directly from the owner.

If your dates are flexible, renting by owner can save you a lot on money. If you can find a last minute opening, the owners will rent condos, beach homes or bungalows to you at a DEEP discount rather then leaving the unit un-rented. Always ask an owner what dates they have open, and if there are any weeks they are having trouble booking, they may be willing to discount it for you. It's a win, win situation for both.

Select exactly what you want and make no mistake about what you get, be it a cozy hide-away for two, a modern high-rise suite, or a strand of units on the beach for a family gathering. Short or long-term rentals, ShoreRentals.com is sure to have one just for you.

After a day on the beach, out in the sun, enjoying water activities such as scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing, fishing and swimming, many vacationers are so exhausted that all they want to do is retire to their accommodations to rest up for the next fun-filled day! So, save your money for more souvenirs and rent directly from an owner advertising on ShoreRentals.com.
