But alas there's the whole money thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548548 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 12:03:50 +0000 kml636 548548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: oh, that's so exciting, I hope they get one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548374 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:56:13 +0000 Weagle 548374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: Yes! My parents always had a beach house as I was growing up, and they sold it when DH and I got married and moved away. Now that LO is here they're looking for another one to get us to visit more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548238 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:03:54 +0000 Alivoo01 548238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, and I don't think we ever will. still fun to fantasize about the what ifs though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548209 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:51:59 +0000 Smurfette 548209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and I don't think that we ever will. We both like to go on vacation to new places and if we own a place would feel like we had to go their every year for vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548201 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:49:08 +0000 hilsy85 548201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are trying to purchase one in upstate NY. Unfortunately, our bid on a house we liked was rejected, and we haven't found another one that we like as much, so we're just waiting to see what comes on the market in the spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548142 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:17:29 +0000 littlek 548142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't yet, but we are looking into getting a condo near the beach. DH thinks its a great time to buy right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548109 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:54:07 +0000 BananaPancakes 548109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husbands father owns a river house and beach condo, and my MIL had a family lake house. So we're set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548036 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 07:50:57 +0000 MamaMoose 548036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope... Not in our plans. I'm too much of a worrier and would be constantly stressed about something going wrong at the vaca house and us not knowing about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548018 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 07:34:01 +0000 honeybear 548018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do not, but like @artbee: we live really close to the beach! Every weekend feels like a holiday! </p> <p>Before we moved here, I thought about the vacation home thing, and I decided it's not my bag. Upkeep is expensive and time-consuming, renting is a pain, and I'd rather have cash to go travel to nice places (and have someone else cook/clean for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-548010 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 07:23:37 +0000 heffalump 548010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But we live 10 minutes from the beach :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547927 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 01:31:22 +0000 fussygal 547927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but DHs family has a cabin that we visit often in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547900 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 00:26:02 +0000 shopaholic 547900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a vacation home in the mountains with DH's family. We rent it out when we can and we're not using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547887 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 23:49:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 547887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to have a beach house or even just a cabin on a lake up north to spend our summers... But we dont even own one house as it is haha... Maybe someday.. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547885 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 23:48:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 547885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547863 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 23:08:44 +0000 Reese 547863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547854 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:53:42 +0000 owlmom 547854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own an RV - we call it our vacation home on wheels :) I'd love a real vacation home, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547852 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:48:57 +0000 LemonLong 547852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my husband's family owns a vacation home in Tahoe and then we own property in the mountains in CO. I wish we had something on the beach though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547849 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:45:16 +0000 Mrs.B 547849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we have one in FL. It is a few minutes from the beach on the gulf side. We don't rent it out but let our friends and family stay there on vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547848 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:44:19 +0000 kml636 547848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even better... My parents do! They bought a beach house 2 years ago and we are loving it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547846 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:43:29 +0000 betsyboop 547846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. Someday I'd like to have a condo on the beach. I don't think I'd want a second house because I wouldn't want to deal with all the yard work and outdoor maintenance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547841 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:40:24 +0000 prettylizy 547841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my dreams! lol! DH and I flop back and forth between moving into a bigger house or staying here and investing in a lakefront cottage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-vacation-home#post-547838 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:38:48 +0000 Weagle 547838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I think, "Yeah, let's buy a beach house." But mostly I'm like, "I can barely keep my one house up as it is!" Not to mention we couldn't afford a vacation home right now. Do you have one? Beach? Mountain? City? Do you rent it out as well? </p>
