Mom and dad found the rental agent was entirely nice, despite there being a language barrier. They were just visiting the island and didn’t speak the local tongue. But, the agent spoke a bit of English and was able to rent them a bungalow on the beach for their vacation. Mom and dad’s hotel had been closed down suddenly making their reservations now worthless. But, they were fortunate to get the bungalow without booking it in advance. The bungalow was on the edge of the sand, a hundred meters from the water. Inside there was electricity, but no air conditioning. Being a regular entitled American, dad just assumed any rental location he paid money for would come with air conditioning. He was pretty steamed about a lack of cooling, but mom pointed out that with the money they had saved from the hotel reservations, it would be easy to buy a small AC unit for the location. In the local hardware store, they found a small, portable air conditioner, just enough to cool down a room at a time. It cost mom and dad one hundred bucks, and they admitted it was the best one hundred bucks they’d ever spent, because that cooling was invaluable. At the end of their trip, mom and dad decided to leave the air conditioner in the rental condo for other guests. It was particularly small and portable, but mom still didn’t want to fuss with carrying an air conditioner onto an airplane! Dad hoped the next guests would like their gift.
There wasn’t a cooling unit in the small bungalow
The rental agent was the best.
TWe did experience some language barriers.
Reason being we were just visiting the island and didn’t speak the local tongue. Thankfully she spoke a little English and did rent us a little bungalow on the beach for a few afternoons. The resort had been closed down for some reason, so there was no other place for us to stay. Fortune was on our side to get any locale on such short notice. The bungalow was on the sand, a hundred meters from the water. There was electricity, but we were dismayed to find the place lacked a HVAC system. Call us the usual entitled Americans, but we just believed any rental locale we paid currency for would come with an HVAC system. We were annoyed about a lack of cooling, but after calming down we realized with funds we had saved from the hotel reservations, we’d just buy a small AC component for the space. It turns out that a local hardware store sold a small, portable HVAC unit, just enough to cool down the small room. It cost a small amount, and we have to say it was the best money we ever spent, because that cooling was heavenly. When our trip was over, we decided to leave the HVAC unit in the rental house for the next people to relish. It was legitimately small plus portable, but we still didn’t want to fuss over bringing an HVAC unit onto an airplane. Also we knew the next renters would appreciate some air conditioning.
My hotel had closed down for some reason
I found the rental agent quite charming though there was a bit of a language barrier.
I was just visiting the island and didn’t speak the local tongue. The lady spoke a bit of English and managed to rent me a little bungalow on the beach for a few days. My hotel had been closed down indefinitely rendering my reservations useless. I was lucky to get any locale on such short notice. The structure was on the edge of the sand, a hundred meters from the water. It had electricity, but shockingly came without a cooling system. Call me a typical entitled American, but I just assumed any rental place I paid cash for would come with a cooling system. I was pretty steamed about a lack of cooling, but it occured to me with the cash I had saved from the hotel reservations, I’d just buy a small cooling unit for the locale. It turns out that a local hardware store sold a small, portable cooling unit, just enough to cool down a room at a time. It cost me a few hundred bucks, but that was definitely the best money I ever spent, because that cooling unit was the best. As my trip winded up, I saw it fit to leave the cooling system in the rental home for the next people to use. It was genuinely small plus portable, however I still didn’t want to fuss with carrying a cooling unit onto an airplane. My hope was the next occupants value the unit.
Jack and his friends managed to rent a small bungalow
The rental agent was so lovely.
Jack and his friends faced a bit of a language barrier, because they were just visiting the island and didn’t speak the local tongue. The agent spoke a bit of English, so Jack and his friends were able to rent a little bungalow on the beach for a few nights. Their hotel had been closed down for some reason, and the reservations were worthless. They all felt blessed to get any place on such short notice. The bungalow was on the edge of the sand, a hundred meters from the water. It had electricity, but the guys couldn’t believe there was no AC. Being entitled Americans, they just assumed any rental place they paid money for would come with an AC. Jack was pretty steamed about a lack of cooling, but one friend pointed out that with the money they had saved from the hotel reservations, they could just buy a small A/C component for the place. Lucky for them the local hardware store sold a small, portable air conditioner, just enough to cool down a single room in the property. It cost some little cash, and they all agreed it was the best cash they ever spent, because that cooling was extravagant. When their trip was over, Jack and his friends decided to leave the AC unit in the rental house for the next people to use. It was unquestionably small and portable, but still didn’t want to fuss with carrying an AC unit onto an aircraft. Hopefully the next renters like their token.
We just bought an AC for the rental unit
The rental agent was really nice.

It turns out that a local hardware store sold a small, portable air conditioner, just enough to cool down one room at a time. It cost two hundred bucks, and I have to say it was the best two hundred bucks I ever spent, because that cooling was invaluable. When our trip was over, we decided to leave the air conditioner in the rental house for the next people to use. It was very small and portable, but we still didn’t want to fuss with carrying an air conditioner onto an airplane! Hopefully the next renters appreciate our gift.
heat pump maintenance
Finding several space heaters in the closet was so comforting
Steve and Josh rented the most isolated house that they could find.
The place was a fifty five minute drive from the rental office, which was located in the shed of the rental agent.
The nearest town was an hour and fifteen minutes away, which was kind of intimidating for Steve, but he didn’t voice his fears. Steve is a city boy, born and bred, therefore fending for himself in the woods wasn’t ideal, but Josh found the isolated place and that became their plan for the long weekend. The weekend wasn’t too cold, however evenings were freezing so they saw it fit to use the wood burning furnace. There were a couple of space heating systems in the closet, which were legitimately comforting to have as a backup for heat. But, since Steve and Josh chose to “rough it” they wanted to start a fire. There was no firewood ready for the furnace. But, there was an axe, a hatchet, and a woodpile out back. In line with the pretty orange light of the setting sun, Josh stripped off his shirt and chopped firewood for the furnace while Steve watched on. Josh got hot and sweaty filling up that furnace with the wood. When Steve saw Josh act so macho, he felt so good. That whole weekend Steve and Josh became fans of using the wood burning furnace, and talked and agreed to get the same for their house. The two of them never even bothered taking the space heating systems out of the closet.
Penny is a city slicker all the way
Penny and Tom rented such a remote house in the woods which was an hour’s drive from the rental office located in the garage of the rental agent.
Their nearest neighbor was two hours away, which was kind of intimidating for Penny.
But, she kept her fears to herself. Penny is a city girl, born and bred, therefore fending for herself in the woods was an odd experience. But Tom wanted some locale in the middle of nowhere, so that became their plan for the long weekend. It wasn’t truly frigid that weekend, but it got chilly at night so Peris and Tom decided to use the wood burning furnace. The cabin had some heaters in the closet, which was truly comforting to have as a backup for heat. But, because they were “roughing it” they saw it fit to light a fire. The house didn’t have firewood ready for the furnace, but there was an axe, a hatchet, and a woodpile outside. In the pretty orange light of the setting sun, Tom stripped off his shirt and chopped firewood for the furnace while my Penny enjoyed the view. Tom got overheated and sweaty filling up that furnace with the firewood. The macho got Penny quite excited. When the long weekend came to an end, Penny and Tom were both huge fans of using the wood burning furnace. They even spoke about getting the same back home. They never even bothered taking the heaters out of the closet since the cabin wasn’t cold.
The nearest town was over two hours away from the rental cabin
We paid for the remotest and most reclusive place that we could find, that was a forty four minute drive from the rental office.
The rental office was situated in the garage of the rental agent.
From there, the nearest town was numerous hours away, which was kind of intimidating for us, but we kept our fears to ourselves. I am a town boy, born and bred, and fending for myself in the woods did not feel natural. But my partner wanted some locale in the middle of nowhere, so that’s what we did for the long weekend. It wasn’t legitimately frigid that weekend, but it got frigid at night so we saw it fit to use the wood burning oil furnace. There were a couple of space oil gas furnaces in the closet, which was legitimately comforting to have as a backup for heat. However, we’d planned on “roughing it” and we planned to start a fire. There was no firewood ready for the oil furnace, but there was an axe, a hatchet, and a woodpile out back. In the pretty orange light of the setting sun, I stripped off my shirt and chopped firewood for the oil furnace while my partner watched on. I was hot and covered in sweat filling up that oil furnace with kindling and logs. Seeing me act so macho got my partner hot, too. By the end of the weekend we were both crucial fans of using the wood burning oil furnace, and talked about getting the same for our home. We never even bothered taking the space heaters out of the closet since the cabin was warm.
My sister and her boyfriend rented the most remote cottage
My sister and her boyfriend rented the most remote and reclusive cottage that they could find.
- It was a fifty minute drive from the rental office, which was located in the garage of the rental agent.
The nearest town was three hours away, which was kind of intimidating for my sister. But, she kept her fears to herself. She’s a city girl, born and bred. So, fending for herself in the woods did not appeal to her. Her boyfriend, however, wanted some place in the middle of nowhere, so that’s what they did for the long weekend. It wasn’t really cold that weekend, however it got cold at night so they decided to use the wood burning oil furnace. There were two space heating systems in the closet, which was really comforting to have as a backup for heat. But, since my sister and her boyfriend were “roughing it” they decided to start a fire first. There was no firewood ready for the oil furnace, however there was an axe, a hatchet, and a woodpile out back. In the pretty red light of the setting sun, her boyfriend stripped off his shirt and chopped firewood for the oil furnace while my sister watched on. He got tepid and sweaty filling up that oil furnace with kindling and logs. Seeing her boyfriend act so macho got my sister hot, too! By the end of the weekend they were both huge fans of using the wood burning oil furnace, so they talked about getting a single for their place. My sister and her boyfriend never even bothered taking the space heating systems out of the closet because they felt quite cozy.
whole home heating
First time using a wood burning furnace
We rented the most remote and reclusive cabin that we could find. It was a forty five minute drive from the rental office, which was located in the garage of the rental agent. The nearest town was over two hours away, which was kind of intimidating for me, but I kept my fears to myself. I am a city boy, born and bred, and fending for myself in the woods did not appeal to me. My girlfriend, however, wanted some place in the middle of nowhere, so that’s what we did for the long weekend. It wasn’t very cold that weekend, but it got chilly at night so we decided to use the wood burning furnace. There were a couple of space heaters in the closet, which was very comforting to have as a backup for heat, but since we were “roughing it” we decided to start a fire first. There was no firewood ready for the furnace, but there was an axe, a hatchet, and a woodpile out back. In the pretty purple light of the setting sun, I stripped off my shirt and chopped firewood for the furnace while my girlfriend watched on. I got hot and sweaty filling up that furnace with kindling and logs, but seeing me act so macho got my girlfriend hot, too! By the end of the weekend we were both huge fans of using the wood burning furnace, and talked about getting one for our place. We never even bothered taking the space heaters out of the closet, we stayed plenty hot!
