Figure out how much you have in your budget to spend for a house. This will determine the types of houses to look for.

Start looking as early as possible. Beach houses rent quickly, especially during peak vacation seasons.
Contact local visitors’ centers for help in deciding which beaches to visit.
Step 3: Choose 斟酌選擇
Choose between renting from a private owner or from an agency. You might get a better deal from an owner, but a better selection from an agency.
Some owners want a deposit or the entire rent up front.
Step 4: Negotiate 協(xié)商價格
Negotiate a price when you find a house you like. Depending on the season and your number of guests, you may get a deal.
Step 5: Be respectful 互相尊重
Be respectful of the owner’s rules for their house. You may lose your deposit if you aren’t.
