What's nice about leasing is that we can leave our dishes, linens, etc. but since we are 300 miles away, someone who lives there year round keeps an eye on the place.
We own our house on the lake but lease (via VRBO) during off season in various places in FL and Caribbean and it works well. Leasing is UNDERRATED. Yes there are drawbacks but upside is no hassle and peace of mind.
