Christmas in Edgartown with Sandpiper Rentals

Edgartown comes alive every December with Christmas lights, smells of warm fires and Christmas wreaths and trees. Edgartown Board of Trade’s 33rd Annual Christmas in Edgartown is a celebration that throws you right into the holiday spirit. The parade features local businesses, smiling children, and… well Santa of course! This year’s parade was a bit longer with more entries, live animals, singing and dancing. Local business, Slip 77 gave out items from their fabulous retail store located in Oak Bluffs including t-shirts. Sandpiper Rentals held an Open House Tour with many surprises such as raffles, treats, and warm drinks.

At the very end of the parade the children were overjoyed to see Santa Claus.

Once that concluded, I caught up with the Alpacas outside of the Edgartown School. Then joined in the fun with all of the vendors at the Craft Fair where I purchased some homemade ornaments and jewelry.

Finally, I wrapped up the afternoon with some local shopping at MV Florist and Sanctuary in Oak Bluffs where I chatted with the dear owners, Frank and Rita. All in all, it was a wonderful way to start the Holiday Season.IMAG0769

Sandpiper Rentals & Vacation Rental Education

Sandpiper Rentals makes it a point to continually educate ourselves in our business and industry.  Anne Mayhew, Owner/Broker had the opportunity to attend the New England Vacation Rental Managers Association meeting last week and gained a great amount of information.  This group provided great speakers that have expertise in vacation rentals and promoting growth in marketing and customer service for both our tenants and owners.  The opportunities abound and we find ourselves on the fast track as technology provides so many ways to improve our systems.

 

Keep an eye out for future posts promoting the installation of some of these great new systems!

Wednesday Wonderings #WW The Risks of Not Using an Agency

 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.
