We are using things like VRBO to find places on the ocean up in Maine, and boy, do I love that. To me, being able to go out on a deck at night, have a beer and smoke my pipe is as good as it gets for me at my age now!
It costs more than a hotel or Bed and Breakfast, but...as I get older, I just enjoy that solitude and freedom renting a house gives.
I had never heard of VRBO
thanks for that
