Vacation Rental?

Anonymous, on January 27, 2012 at 5:22 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 12

This is probably going to sound crazy, but as tight as money can be in this economy, I am curious if anyone has done this? Has anyone ever rented out a vaction home for a week, and used it to be married in?

    I actually looked into this yesterday. I was on the trip adviser website looking up reviews on vacation home rentals in the Dominican Republic for our DW. You may want to check it out. Happy planning!

    Our friends in CA did. Unfortunately we couldn't go because of work schedules, but the wedding looked beautiful and it seemed everybody had a great time! They also managed to do it on a reasonable budget and were really happy about it.

    I can honestly say I never thought of that. But it is a fabulous idea.

    We rent vacation homes off VRBO.com all the time instead of booking hotels. I like having my own kitchen and a full apartment vs. a room when we travel and it's usually cheaper anyway.

    Go for it!!!

    We just looked into it this morning.. Getting a beach house, Having a small wedding on the beach then the party after at the beach house.. on Craigslist, for 3 days we were still looking at $1000 for a 3 bed 3 bath in Huntington beach CA. Still more then we could afford, so we opted out. Good luck

    The house we rented for us and all our guests to stay in the night before the wedding and the wedding night allows weddings with up to 40 guests there. We chose not to do that, because we wanted to have the wedding in a synagogue, but it was an intriguing idea.

    This is what we're doing! We get the entire house for four days and dont have to worry about time in and time out. Vbro.com just ask owners of they'll let you do a wedding- it's an extra charge but the four days is turning out to be less than what a venue charges for six hours! A lot less...

    I did this in Folly Beach SC this past May and it was FANTASTIC!!!!!! We were so lucky because we found the most amazing wonderful beach house. But the search for the house was tricky.

    I wrote all about my search here: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/folly-beach-sc-beach-house-weddings-my-search-for-the-perfect-beachhouse-to-have-our-wedding/58102f8994fbec8e.html

    Yes I live in Canada. Here there are a lot of people who book condos and houses on rent for their wedding and vacations. If anyone needs it I can help out.
