It's that time again. You are well into your summer season and even those of you who are people people are getting burned out. Here's a humorous take on the typical vacation rental manager's state of mind at the end of July.

Why are you reduced to tears and snappish replies? Because everytime you answer the phone you are asked about this...

And on the beach all you see is this...

It's not just on the beach, it's everywhere you go. To travel, you must first go out in this.

Enjoying a nice dinner out? Then you look over at the next table.

And forget about going to the grocery store on a turnonver day... its like the running of the bulls.

 Its no wonder that you start to question your faith in humanity.

We understand and want to remind you that in a few short weeks, all will be back to the relatively calm, beautiful place where you are lucky to live.

It will be your beach again.
