Scott's Vacation House Rules

This is a fun show to watch. Just wondering why they don't tell you where the rentals are? It would be good business for them and some of the areas look gorgeous and would be fun to visit. Only knock on the show is Scott's screaming. Also the forced laughing by Debra at Scott's not funny dad jokes is a bit obvious. But the screaming??? 🙄. But mostly fun to watch!

I would love to know how much these places actually rent for and how long the renovation looks good. Everything looks good on tv. But i have serious doubts because he is always staging non-outdoor furniture in the yard, while claiming it will be super easy to clean between renters. Especially want to know how long that tiki bar lasted.

My wife and I watch this show. We like Scott and Debra, the vacation locales and the renovation work done. Our biggest complaint is that NO COSTS ARE GIVEN. We don't know how much the cabin was bought for and how much the renovation cost (and compared to budget). Scott saying the cabin can now be rented for $400 per night versus $250 pre night before the renovation, sounds great but without knowing any costs we don't know if it makes financial sense. On many recent shows, we think tearing down the house and starting again would be cheaper.

Also, we question a 180 rental season and no mention of the ongoing costs - cleaning between renters maintenance of the hot tub etc.

This review applies to both of Scott's shows with a similar title. Completely remodel a kitchen for $20K? Try doing it for less than $50K. Rebuild a lake cottage for $70K? Try $150K. A summer rental going for $500 a night for six months? Try a rental season of three months with less than 100% occupancy.

What planet are these numbers from? It's complete fraud to present to the viewers that they could ever hope to accomplish what the show is doing.

Three stars for the occasional good idea from the designer. A person who, in real life, would consume a substantial portion of the stated budgets on the show.

Scott does a great job with renovations...but why doesn't he renovate himself? He always wears those dorky shirts, and he needs an updated haircut. Maybe his wife buys his clothes...bc when she was on the show, she needed some updating herself. They seem like nice people, but not very hip.
