The Benefits of Renting Your Vacation Home  

 

Perhaps you have a second home that you haven’t gotten to use as often as you planned, or maybe you’ve found that you could use a little extra money to cover some expenses. No matter what your motivation may be, renting your second home to vacationers is a great way to share your home with others and make a little bit of extra income.

 

And the best part is you can still use your home yourself. Renting your vacation home doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the time you may be able to spend there. You can reserve dates for your own family just like you would with any other guest, but the difference is you get first choice.

​

​
