Step 1: Budget 预算
Figure out how much you have in your budget to spend for a house. This will determine the types of houses to look for.
Step 2: Start early 早日计划
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 斟酌选择
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 协商价格
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.
