It means you can use it as a home while vacationing and rent it out to a hospitality chain for being used by tourists when you are not around. You will get a fair rent that will help you with the repairs. A perfect vacation home must face towards a natural setting. It might be a beach or a mountain. It should be away from the hum and bustle of existence and provide an acute old world charm. At the same time, it should be linked with transport facilities.
The rooms should be done in earth colors. Ideally, there must be a fireplace. Windows should be large to allow sunlight. Few holiday-seekers look for privacy so it must be a stained glass window
