Why you should book your summer 2008 vacation rental NOW
“I’m looking for a cottage rental for next summer and it needs to sleep 10 people, have a sandy beach and internet access. Oh, and I want to book for 3 weeks in August”. This was just one of many calls we received last week, and happily we were able to accommodate the family in a great cottage near Penetanguishene.
This lady was fortunate to find a property that met all her criteria as the savvy renters are booking early for summer 2008. Some of our managed properties are already fully booked and many of the larger ones have at least 70% of the weeks reserved.
Book now if you want the following:
- More than two weeks in the same cottage
- A large property – with more than 4 bedrooms
- A higher end cottage with a sandy beach
- Hi-speed internet access
- Two adjoining properties for multi-family use
Most agencies will be listing new properties right up to the early summer, however if you really want to secure your dream vacation rental for next year, do it now. Check the cancellation policy as you will often find that if you change your mind you will only get your deposit refunded if the owner or agency is able to rebook the time, plus you will be charged an administration fee. If you take out travel insurance at the time you book, you may be covered for change of mind so check the small print.
