With numerous options for booking vacation rentals, it can be tough to determine the best place to book a rental. While OTAs like Vrbo, HomeAway, and Airbnb are heavily advertised and seem appealing, they may not always be the optimal choice. Discover why booking directly with a local rental agency is often the superior option compared to using an OTA.

What Does it Mean to Book Direct?

In today’s world, finding vacation rentals is a breeze. A simple Google search brings up hundreds of options, and online travel agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and Vrbo are often the first ones you see. Most of the time, many of the rentals listed OTAs are also accessible through property management websites, like the one you’re browsing now. Booking Direct means reserving your vacation rental directly through the property manager’s website, bypassing the need for an OTA.

Benefits of Booking Direct

Fewer Fees

When you book through a third-party website, you’ll often experience extra fees. The extra fees will increase your booking reservation total by up to 15% more than when you book directly on our Coastal Vacation Rentals. Put that money towards other things like food or an experience for your vacation.

Special Deals

We offer exclusive deals for our vacation rentals on our website. For the best and most up-to-date specials on our vacation rentals, check out our current specials and discounts .
