House Swap Your Way to Summer Vacation!

June 15, 2010 by ericadublin Leave a Comment

Fancy a whirlwind weekend in a chic Parisian apartment? Or how about a week in a charming English estate? These too-good-to-be true vacations just got a whole lot more accessible, thanks to Luxe Home Swap, a home exchange service that allows you to temporarily switch homes with like-minded travelers around the world. Remember “The Holiday” where Kate Winslet swapped homes with Cameron Diaz? Yeah– exactly!

It’s Easy!

The process couldn’t be simpler: After signing up for the service, post a brief description and photos of your home. Then, let the browsing begin. Homes on the site range from cozy one bedrooms in the heart of Manhattan to sprawling farmhouses in the Italian countryside to the four bedroom Moroccan home by the sea. Once you’ve found a dream home in your dream locale, Luxe Home Swap connects you with the owner and before you can say “vacation” you’re on your way to their home and they’re heading to yours.

Love it

See the thing is, this is great because say you want to rent a 5-bedroom house somewhere for a few weeks during the summer — it’s not affordable right? Forget going to a hotel! That’s even worse! With this, you can have all the amenities of home but be completely removed and away. What’s better than saving money all while being on vacation — all you are essentially paying for is a plane ticket. Happy Traveling!
