If you own a vacation home, then you certainly realize that your second home will be left unoccupied for large portions of the year. With no one around for months, how can you ensure that no one will break in? With horror stories of vacationers arriving at the start of what they hope will be a relaxing week off, only to realize that the front door is wide open and everything inside is gone, it’s becoming more and more important to consider your vacation home’s security.
Criminals love to prey on homes that they know will be unoccupied for a long period of time. During the off-season, burglars know that you probably won’t return for months, giving them plenty of time to steal whatever they want without a fear of getting caught. Plus, many vacation homes are located in relatively isolated areas, or near other seasonally-occupied properties, meaning that there aren’t even any neighbors around to stop them.

People choose vacation homes for a number of different reasons – some just don’t like living in hotels for a week or more, and I can’t blame them. A hotel room is OK for a night or two, but if you are on vacation for 7 -14 days, you don’t want to be living out of a suitcase in a small room, possibly with the kids there are well.
Sure, the older kids can have their own room, but what about the youngsters? You can’t leave young children alone in a hotel room, and unless you can afford to splash out for a suite, then you are going to be pretty cramped. And the eating out as well – its great fun at first, but the wallet soon gets lighter with a whole family eating out in restaurants every morning, afternoon and night. In fact that’s a major reason for many preferring an Orlando vacation home to Orlando hotel accommodation.
