I'm certainly not going to pay a mover twice a year to transport a whole house of furniture.
Has anyone else run into this? and how is it supposed to work?

Thanks
Unfurnished rentals are usually rented out by people who are moving down permanently but would prefer to rent rather than buy OR those who are planning to buy but want to rent for awhile and take their time looking around before jumping into buying. By renting unfurnished they are able to bring their stuff down and not have to also pay for storage somewhere else. As another poster said, if you are just looking to rent as a seasonal resident, there are plenty of furnished homes available for rental for longer periods. In fact, I might know of one - when are you looking to rent?
