I have included your blogsite in my information package for our first time renters. The insite and details that you provide will give any first time renter a clear understanding of what to expect from their experience and what the owner in return expects from their rentors. Bravo and thank-you for your hard work. I have included a link from my blog back to this site.

Check the cancellation policy carefully before making a booking. If there is a chance you might change your mind, or have to cancel for any reason, take our travel insurance. It doesn’t cost a lot and gives you peace of mind. Some owners may allow you to change dates but expect an agency to charge an administration fee for a change. There’s more on this here.

I hear so many horror stories of renters arriving to the cottage that was so wonderfully described in the listing, only to find it bears little relation to it. Different furniture, misrepresented waterfront, and features that were listed, not being there....it all adds up to a pretty miserable experience. The difficulty is with every property being so unique. It makes assessing for a rating very subjective. How could you rate rocky waterfront with deep water for diving, against a sandy beach with a shallow walkout, as each could be equally attractive depending on the individual needs of the rental clients? A better way could be to have owners agreeing to an independent review and assessment by an unbiased third party. Cottages managed by agencies already receive this independent review, but it would have to be a voluntary submission by owners renting privately. It's an interesting concept and I'd like to know how many owners would subscribe to something like this. I’m really in favour of a rating system too.

It makes renters' lives so much easier when they are trying to decide on a property. I've often wished there was a rating system for rentals similar to hotels. That way you had a better idea what you are getting into. Online photos only tell half the story. Great article. Cheers, Julie Hi Heather,
