Retirement Homes To Rent

Imagine a floating retirement home that includes accommodation for two with ocean views, all meals, co-ownership of a cruise ship, joining a Golf and Country Club in the month cruise to the Bahamas and annual cruise the Caribbean. Too good to be true?

Now offered by Waterfront Lifestyles International is the new concept for seniors in Florida. The retirement community is a luxury cruise ship, with dining room, lounges, night club, library, cafe / spa, fitness center, cigar bar, shops, medical center, sun deck, spa, Casino and shuffleboard. The ship is at Cape Canaveral with the proximity to famous attractions of Orlando and central Florida, including Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios and space launches.

Residents actually own a share of 1/100th of the vessel which includes cabins for two people, meals and use of the facilities of the vessel. Like a condo, they pay a maintenance fee proportional to the size and cost of their cabins (from 125-330 square feet).

This fee goes toward the operating expenses of the vessel. Since you are not buying real estate, sale will not be subject to property taxes, or closing costs. Members are currently an association of owners to make decisions concerning the maintenance of the vessel and monitor the fluctuation of monthly fees. The vessel is currently called "Alegria", but the association of owners will have the last word in his behalf. Result of shops, bars, casino and spa in back care funds to subsidize the operating budget.

Costs range from $ 2,500 to $ 5,500 / month for two people including meals and weekly housekeeping. In fact, quite reasonable, considering the cost of a nursing home is generally much higher for a person. An average home of the elderly can be between $ 1,000 and $ 3,000 / month for individuals or $ 6,000 to $ 8,000 for the upscale amenities.

Investors can even put off buying until retirement, and rents over time. Residents are also allowed to rent their cabs, but only a minimum one year lease.

After viewing their brochures, if you're still interested, leave a refundable deposit of $ 10,000 to keep the car that interests you most, and you can board the ship and see the facilities first hand. If this is not what you are looking for, the deposit is fully refundable.

Alegria's first cruise ship being offered by Waterfront Lifestyles, but they hope to add additional ships to Tampa, Jacksonville, Palm Beach and Sarasota.
