Celebrating Vacation Rental Week March 11-15, 2024

 

Whales Watch Vacation Rentals is thrilled to participate in the fifth annual Vacation Rental Week! Professionally-managed vacation rentals provide value and benefits for guests and property owners alike. This celebration of Vacation Rental Week is our chance to highlight these and to encourage you to book a stay or entrust your vacation property to a professional manager.

FOR GUESTS

As a guest, vacation rentals are a great alternative to hotels in every aspect, offering you much more for your money, including additional space, privacy, convenience, and amenities. Vacation rentals also present you with a unique opportunity to create a more personalized, memorable vacation experience when compared with traditional hotels. When you book with a professionally managed vacation rental, you get:

  • The practical comfort of an actual residence, including more space and additional bedrooms for those traveling with family.

  • The ability to explore the neighborhood and the opportunity to discover aspects of your destination you might not encounter when staying at a hotel.

  • Amenities not typically included in a hotel such as kitchens, laundry rooms, and more.

FOR PROPERTY OWNERS

Safely renting your space as a property owner through a professional manager can be an easy and reliable revenue source, transforming it into an asset that offers a significant return on your investment. You’ll also be able to use the property when you choose, spending your own vacations there with family, while renting it to guests the rest of the year.

A professional vacation rental manager will handle all the logistics, securing responsible guests, and maximizing your return through an expert understanding of the industry and in-depth knowledge of the local community. They’ll also handle cleaning the property to the highest standards, advertise, handle inquiries, collect deposits and balances, generate agreements, and follow-up post-rental, so you can sit back and simply enjoy the experience.

CONNECT

The Vacation Rental Management Association (VRMA) can help you find a vacation rental to book or a professional manager to represent your property. Visit the VRMA website for more details and find a vacation rental or professional manager for your property today.
