Wednesday Wonderings #WW The Risks of Not Using an Agency

November 26, 2014 Sandpiper Rentals Staff Leave a comment

Use an Agency when Booking Your Vacation Rental

Let’s make this easy. Go through an agency when booking. Always. Period. When you decide to go through an agency, you lose the risk of being double-booked, locked out of your home, given false promises, and a ruined vacation. Now, we’re not saying every person out there is out to bamboozle you, but mistakes happen. Going through an agency ensures that if mistakes happen, they have your best interests in mind and will get the problem fixed pronto.

This article from WSBTV shares renter, Jessica Spence’s experience with a Rental-by-Owner site VRBO.com “Her experience was not 5-star.“

Wednesday Wonderings #WW: What’s Your Price Point for Rentals on Martha’s Vineyard ?

How to Determine a Price Point for your Rental?

Martha’s Vineyard is not so very different than most places. You basically get what you pay for. On the moderate side – a simple three bedroom vacation home in Katama will range from $2100-$3,000/wk. As you add amenities like air conditioning, upgraded furnishings, screened porch, outdoor living your rate increases.

The high ticket rental usually has some water orientation whether it have views and/or access to the beach. These rentals range from $6000/wk and up.

As the saying goes: location, location, location!
