Our guests often ask us about the benefits of making their vacation rental reservation a year in advance. There are numerous benefits in doing this, but we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a couple of them here.

1. Secure your perfect property before someone else does.  Have you found the vacation home or villa that perfectly matches the needs of your family? Sometimes it can be difficult to make sure that you can get that same place each year if you wait too long. By placing your reservation early, the perfect vacation rental will be yours!!

2. Don’t have your vacation funds in place yet? That’s OK – it only takes a $250 deposit to place your reservation. The remainder of the normal 40% prepayment will be due about 5-6 months before your arrival, and as always, the final payment is still due 30 days before your arrival.

3. Hoping for a good deal if you wait?  While sometimes a good deal can be found, will it be in the vacation home or villa that you love? Will the vacation home, villa or condo you rent match the needs of your traveling party? By securing your vacation rental this year, you will have a “good deal” more choices.
