Nurses are officially lining up their summer travel assignments, which means–it’s time to start looking for housing for the sunniest season of the year!
One of the best parts of being a travel nurse is taking advantage of beautiful locations during specific times of the year. Summer is often the prime time to find the perfect location assignment while everyone waits for rates to pick back up in the fall. If you are going to live in a dream location during the dream season, you might as well find the dream housing to perfect the experience.
Recently, we have been browsing Furnished Finder for housing and dreaming up the best places to stay this summer with the best amenities.
Here are a few of our favorite locations and housing listings:
Anchorage, Alaska
Alaska is a bucket list location for many travel nurses, and summer is a great time to go. The weather is mild, and sunlight is abundant. Most travelers try to avoid going this far north in colder months and aim for May to September for their Alaskan assignment.
An assignment in Anchorage promises abundant hiking, fishing, and outdoor adventures, ensuring a packed schedule. What better reward after a day of exploration than unwinding in your condo, basking in a stunning view?
Yes, that’s right–you can actually filter properties on Furnished Finder by amenities such as hot tubs and pools. Right now this Designer Downtown Condo with an amazing view looks like a great place to spend an Alaskan summer. Explore more properties in Anchorage.
Los Angeles, California
If a rugged Alaskan adventure isn’t your style, consider spending your summer in a trendy city like LA, which has many things to do.
We highly recommend using the “pool” filter for your summertime stay since you will want to take advantage of all the California sunshine. This listing at TenTen Wilshire comes with many luxury amenities, including a private gym and rooftop pool.
Plus, by booking a space that caters to traveling professionals, you will have better luck making connections and building relationships during your assignment. Explore more properties in Los Angeles.
Coos Bay, Oregon
Another place where it might be fun to live temporarily but not permanently is the Oregon coast. The cost of living can be a bit high, but taking a short assignment there for the experience is worth it. From fresh seafood to whale watching, there are many things you can only experience by staying in a coastal town for a while.
This Waterfront Home has the perfect, dreamy deck to enjoy an oceanfront cup of coffee every day of your assignment. There is also an in-unit washer and dryer and an extra bedroom for guests to come visit.
As a bonus, there is even an infrared sauna you can use during your stay. That’s something you definitely wouldn’t find on most hotel or homeshare websites! Explore more properties in Coos Bay.
Chicago, Illinois
If you want to spend the summer in the city without a ton of heat, Chicago is a great choice. Chicago winters can be brutal, so taking advantage of the nicer weather in this popular city is a great idea.
Chicago not only has great food, watersports galore on Lake Michigan, and amazing shopping spots but it is also known for luxury high rises. This Grand Plaza Condo has everything a travel nurse could dream of in a short-term unit. Why not spend the summer treating yourself and feeling on top of the world in one of the most fun cities in the US? Explore more properties in Chicago.
The Best Part
One of the most exciting things about travel nursing is the endless possibilities. From fun locations to bougie living spaces, you get to live a lot differently than if you were in a full-time job at home. Even if the location or job isn’t your favorite, it’s nice to get to experience different places and see what you enjoy or don’t enjoy. Spend this summer taking advantage of this opportunity–and splurge a little extra on a dreamy short-term rental as well. Start searching for your next rental on Furnished Finder today!
