Taking a vacation with friends and family before school starts sounds like a perfect way to end a great summer, but there can be some friction if you decide to skip the separate hotel rooms and share a summer vacation rental.

Make sure before you plan a trip you are communicating all of the expenses clearly with the people coming. If you are going with another family and yours is larger, divide the prices evenly, unless there is an extra fee for the number of people who are visiting. For example, if you need an extra room, pay for the extra room and split the rest evenly. <\/p>\n
