Say it is 1000 for the week, 4 bedrooms, so $250 per room. If a family takes 2 rooms, they pay $500. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490798 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 16:25:37 +0000 LilSprinkles 2490798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use to do that when I was a kid. The price would be split based on the number of rooms used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490793 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 16:22:56 +0000 mrsrain 2490793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting. We have always done it by family (divide total by number of families), BUT kids are a recent addition to the equation, so I hadn't considered how that would change things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490728 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:50:38 +0000 petitenoisette 2490728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've rented houses with both family and friends and we never count the kiddos! In my experience not everyone was staying the same # of nights so we multiplied people by number of nights stayed and then divided by the total to create a "nightly" rate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490723 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:45:12 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2490723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going on vacation with friends, and we're splitting equally. Two families are families of 4 and one is a family of 3. We're assuming the kids will all sleep together in the bunk room and each couple will have their own room. Babies will stay with the couples who have their own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490650 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:11:48 +0000 MaryM 2490650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a couple with no kids, I'd think paying the same makes sense. </p> <p>And I'm sure the couples with kids would think we'd be getting the best deal since we wouldn't have to share a room with children :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490636 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:05:38 +0000 psw27 2490636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would probably just split it by room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490630 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:01:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2490630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning to rent a beach house with family this summer and we would do it by room. If there are extra two teens sleeping on a pull out sofa bed then maybe like half a room?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490624 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:00:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2490624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: my inlaws rented a beach house 5 years back. They paid for the house. BIL, his ex wife and two girls got the master bed with bath since they had 4. Inlaws got the second biggest room. DH and I got the smallest.</p> <p>Since inlaws paid for the house the rest of us were to split food. We didn't nickel and dime and expected BIL to pay for more food since they had more mouths to feed. ;) TBH DH and I probably paid for more and did more cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490615 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:58:37 +0000 Anagram 2490615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: yeah, we'd all be in one room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490601 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:55:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2490601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: if your kids are staying with you in your room, don't pay more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490597 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:54:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2490597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do it by room!</p> <p>We did it a few years ago and there was 11 of us. We did it per person. The only person who didn't share a room was DHs younger sister. She got the room w the bunk beds, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490596 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:54:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2490596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember how we paid but I do know we each took 1 night and had to make dinner for everyone - it was nice to only have to do it 1 time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490594 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:54:34 +0000 Anagram 2490594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @AB810: Okay, that's what I was thinking. In one situation, I'm the family with the most kids at 2, but we'd all be staying in 1 room. My first instinct is to offer to pay more, but then I second guessed it when I thought if it was my SIL, who has 3 kids, I wouldn't expect her to pay more.</p> <p>I'm probably overthinking it. I guess I'm mildly worried that to people with no kids or 1 kid, they might think our two kids are a burden or something, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490592 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:54:20 +0000 MaryM 2490592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would split by room as long as they're similar</p> <p>(if someone ends up with a super nice suite while someone else in in a loft with no privacy, I'd adjust accordingly)</p> <p>For sleeping, I think splitting makes sense. Things like food would be more complicated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490591 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:53:03 +0000 BSB 2490591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would split it up by room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490587 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:52:05 +0000 AB810 2490587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We split equally by bedroom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490586 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:51:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2490586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would split by room/family depending on the relationship? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490585 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:51:37 +0000 Anagram 2490585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or what about with older children? Let's say Couple D has 3 kids, and two are older and will be sleeping on a pull out couch in the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-vacay-question-renting-a-big-beach-housecondo#post-2490582 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:50:46 +0000 Anagram 2490582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is totally random. What do you all do in these situations? We have a potential big gathering with DHs family for FILs 70th birthday this summer, and a potential vacay with some mom friends. And *maybe* a potential family reunion on my side of the family.</p> <p>Everyone has different amounts of kids (or no kids, just a couple). How do you all split the price? Do you go by bedroom?</p> <p>-Couple A has 2 kids, but all 4 ppl will be sleeping in 1 room.<br /> -Couple B has 1 kid, and all will be together in 1 room<br /> -Couple C has no kids and will have their own room.</p> <p>If all the rooms are fairly equal in terms of size/beds, so you just all split equally? </p>
