Jan 19, 2010, Why You Should Take a Look at Monthly Rentals

A month of vacation? In your dreams! You’re lucky to manage a week away, right?

In the January issue of Life's A Beach House I go out on a limb and suggest that maybe you can swing it.

Here are two good reasons to ask yourself why not?

1. You can work from the beach.

If you already work from home using a computer, high-speed Internet connection and telephone, why wouldn’t you be able to do the same work from a vacation home?

2. You can test drive living in paradise.

If you’ve been itching to find a place with less stress and many (many) more sunny days to raise your family or spend your retirement, you could be among the estimated 40 million who make the move (according to a book I just finished called “The Geography of Bliss”).

Renting for a private home for a month -- or more -- is the best way to try out a permanent move to paradise. Live like a local!

Meet two couples who are living the dream. And it all started in a monthly vacation rental.
