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!

Not only is this convenient, but quite often renting by owner can save money for the vacationer. Property owners, eager to rent out their beach property, are pricing competitively.

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.

Where? At ShoreRentals.com. How? Because we rent properties that are carefully screened and viewed prior to posting them on our web site. Private owners take better care of their properties and you end up with cleaner units, and better weekly, monthly or seasonal rates, because they manage them themselves. This puts more money in your pocket!

To further maximize financial savings, owners who do not have their property rented out during a certain period will often negotiate their price in order to fill vacancies. Conveniently advertised on ShoreRentals.com's homepage are "Last Minute Owner Specials" offering vacationer's further savings. Another ideal time to visit the shore is during off-season as there is less tourist demand and prices are lower. On each property webpage potential travelers can check the availability calendar and easily contact the owner to discuss possible discounts.

When renting directly from the owner, the vacationer quite often gets more for their money than a basic hotel room. Often furnished and decorated individually, rental properties are more comfortable, flexible, and offer more variations, such as a kitchen. Renting accommodations with a kitchen allows vacationers to prepare their own meals at less cost than eating at out at a restaurant every night. Often those traveling with small children or big parties prefer to enjoy their meals in a more personal setting. People who are on restricted diets can avoid the challenges of trying to order from a limited restaurant menu by cooking what they want. Even those who stay at all-inclusive resorts find they don't end up using all the options for which they pay, regardless of whether they are used or not.

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.
