I just finished watching The Holiday, and its agood movie. To all that have seen this movie did you all know this Home exchange website really exists... anyways the question is would you all try this sort of vacationing? Has anybody here atually tried it? I my self have a couple of questions. How do you trust some stranger to go in your home? What if when you come back something is missing?

I liked the movie too, but I don't think that in real life I could ever trust a complete stranger enough to be in my home with all my belongings and such. I think I'd worry too much and wouldn't be able to enjoy my vacation. It does sound exciting, a very good concept and all, but definitely not for me. Do you know anyone personally that has tried it? Would you ever do it?

I saw that movie also and thought it was very cute. I have wondered the same thing. My husband and I are going on vacation in July and we live near Chautauqua Lake. He suggested that we rent out our house to someone for the week we are gone. We have a large yard in the country. We also have a hot tub, swimming pool, playground area and tennis courts~ all the things we were looking for in the condo we are renting.
Anyways, I don't think I would trust a stranger to come into my home. I have new furniture and would be afraid they would ruin it. And what do you do if they steal from you or break your stuff? It is a good idea, but there are many downfalls.
