HOLIDAY HOME - PRIVATE OR SHARING? October 1, 2020

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Holiday Home. So, home. For what? To relax, to feel good, to have a vacation. 

Some new concepts have appeared on the real estate / tourism market, including the “sharing or time-sharing”. A literal first impression is a positive one. It is good to share, to give what is yours, to offer, to handsel. On closer inspection that exceeds the level of an ad litteram perception, we realize that it is not the same when it comes to holiday homes. In fact, no home at all. 

In order to correctly define a holiday home, we need to determine what the holiday idea means to each of us. For us at Rentakub, the holiday is the time of year when we stop thinking about work, money, business, meetings, the office, phones, faxes, e-mails, deadlines and others alike. It is the period when we share the beautiful moments of peace with those close to us: family, friends. Loneliness is no stranger to the concept of holiday. If that’s what sharing is all about, then yes, a shared house is ideal. 

But I am afraid that this concept refers to something else. In short, we are talking about buying a property (house, apartment, holiday home, etc.), at a much lower price than it would normally cost (here it is well understood that we all prick up our ears: How? I want it too, if it’s so cheap ...), but which – be careful - you can only use in the most common cases, for a week every year!! Or more, depending on how many owners have contributed and who share the same space, one arrives - another leaves... 

For this you pay a few thousand euros anyway. From advised sources we found out about more such products that vary (depending on location, facilities, areas) between six thousand and twenty thousand euros. If you ask me (I know, nobody asks me and I’m ok with that) it’s better to keep this money in my pocket or in my account and when the holiday comes I take it and pay for the holiday house where I want. Because if you go to the same house every year, the holiday will become a routine like your job, and the holiday home will become a seasonal office. 

Understand me well. Everyone does what they want with their money and time, and especially with their holiday. I, for one, would go each holiday to a different Kub.
