What do you look for in a vacation rental?

[Matt J]

Here in sowal we have it all. From gulf front trailers that rent solid year round to multimillion dollar gulf front mansions decorated by some of the top professionals. Whatever your taste it's here. Now as far as price, that can range from manageable to obscene, but again it is your choice as to the bracket you will fall.

I can direct you to a modest basic rental home for an average family that is decorated tastefully for anyone, or I can direct you to a mansion with modern furniture you won't be able to figure out.

Condo? No problem, there's 7 bedroom 3 floor penthouses with their own elevators and then there's one that's being held together with linoleum and the couches are covered in eye splintering pastel vinyl.

Yes we truly have it all here in sowal.

Mango...did I mention the couch was painted black but you could just make up the tropical floral that was the original motif? It was a week of goth meets the beach...glad you got a chuckle. I had to laugh at myself that week too. In the photos on-line that I viewed before making the reservation, the sofa looked to be black leather. Every time we got up from the couch there was this skin getting unstuck sound and we spent the week checking our backsides for paint specks.

If it's the one I'm actually talking about then you also remember the vertigo enducing floor.

When we rented, we always wanted a private pool. We got so tired of community pools where a baby would poop in the pool and the pool would be closed for 24 hours. We come to the beach for the beach, but after the beach we just like to chill at the pool. Also, I hate having to stake out a lounge chair at a community pool. And it's tacky to put your towel on a chair and then leave for 4 hours. I also like being able to leave all of my stuff at the pool and not have to take it back and forth every time I go in and out. Plus it's closer to the bathroom and you don't have to take a cooler to the pool -- you can just step into the house for a drink.

these are the exact reasons we have started renting a place with a pool. the first few years we came down we didn't have a pool, and then we discovered what we had been missing.

Just in case anyone thought I was kidding about the vinyl couches.

Do not click the above link if you are pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant, have a heart condition, are prone to seizures, have taste, or common sense.

Rental: Pool or no pool

We just booked for October. We looked at private pools or community pools. We decided on private with jacuzzi for the convenience factor even though you are super close. Does your community pool have certain hours of operation? At our home our community pool opens at 9am and closes at 10pm. My family on vacation may want to take a dip at 11pm or 6am so if it open 24hrs a day you might want to mention that.

I believe the standard is 10pm. I've never seen a pool that didn't close at that time.
