With the onset of summer, many have a question - where to spend their vacation. More and more people are choosing to rent cottages rather than book rooms in hotels. Most often they prefer to live in a separate house for families with children, for whom it is very important to have a kitchen, several rooms, as well as their own territory.
Cottage on the sea or in the suburbs - what to choose?
Cottages in the suburbs have their own advantage. The proximity of the hometown with good infrastructure is very important for families with small children. In case of illness, you can quickly come to your clinic, relatives are always nearby and can provide the necessary assistance. The head of the family, if he is not able to spend holidays with his family, will be able to go out of town on weekends.
The beach house has other pluses. A stay at the sea has a beneficial effect on the body, especially on the broncho-pulmonary system. Various infectious diseases pass, the signs of chronic ones become less pronounced. Immunity rises. This is very important for people, especially children, who spend most of the year in the city.
The cost of cottages near major cities and the sea is often almost the same. You can save money by choosing houses in villages or without amenities. In any case, it is worth considering several options, not stopping at the first one that comes along.
Where to find a cottage
The most reliable way to rent a suitable house is to look for it through your friends. Therefore, it is worth informing as many people as possible about your intention to find a cottage for the summer. Perhaps someone has a dacha idle or there are relatives at sea who rent out their homes. Through friends, you can get complete information about what is in the house, how comfortable it is for living. And also get photos of the cottage and its territory.
It is worth paying attention to popular sites for renting real estate. There you come across ads not only from agencies, but also from owners. It is better to choose several that are suitable in terms of parameters. Before you go to see the cottage, ask to send photos of rooms and grounds, check if there are necessary communications. If everything suits you, go to inspect the house. Even the highest quality photos cannot give a complete picture. If you cannot inspect the house due to its remoteness, try to get as much information as possible. Check if there is a construction site nearby, how far is it to the store, if there is a reservoir, etc.
In addition to websites, advertisements for renting out cottages can be found in newspapers, where offers from agencies are most often found, as owners prefer to save money by placing free advertisements on websites. But there are advantages to working with the agency. An employee of the company will select the maximum possible number of options, organize views of cottages, and help draw up a lease agreement. He will take money for his services, but sometimes it is easier to pay for comfort than to organize summer vacations on his own.
