1. WHAT IS VACATIONVILLAS?

In 1995, Vacationvillas.com was purchased as a means of advertising vacation homes. The name is of leading significance in the rental industry and has been the subject of thousands of enquiries for homes, with little or no money spent on advertising. Vacationvillas has been under re-development for the past two years and has taken what the competition does best and simply added even more cutting edge features. Simply put vacationvillas connects vacation home owners with vacationers looking for a home away from home.

2. WHAT’S A VACATION RENTAL AND WHY STAY IN ONE?

All the homes on the site are generally owned and run by the home owners themselves. In some cases you may find management companies offering a variety of different homes in one or more areas, however, most of the homes are still owned by individuals. The benefit of a vacation home doesn’t only stretch to having home away from home comforts. Having a 2, 3, 4, and 5+ bedroom home means that large families can stay together in one place. It saves money for large families as well as families that may wish to holiday together. The home gives each family room to relax while saving on numerous costly hotel rooms. Another benefit of a vacation home is that they are all equipped with laundry and cooking facilities which offer even more savings that can be better spent enjoying the many activities at your chosen destination. Vacationers’ love the fact that they can come back time and time again to the same location, and even book years in advance with the homeowner direct.

3. WHAT MAKES VACATIONVILLAS DIFFERENT?

We have commissioned and continue to use one of the top internet development and marketing companies in the world. With this partnership we offer the most up to date and cutting edge technology currently unavailable on any other vacation home site. Although a very new site, the name vacationvillas is among the most searched and sought after name in the rental home marketplace.

4. HOW GOOD ARE THE HOMES? WHAT GUARANTEES DO I HAVE THAT THEY ARE AS GOOD AS THEY APPEAR ON THE SITE?

Each home is individually listed on the site. Every home owner has a separate account which allows them to update and show the listing as they wish it to appear. When home owners register they must agree to the terms and conditions of the site, and guarantee that the information posted is true. Throughout the whole transaction you will be dealing direct with the home owner(s) and so any problems can be dealt with without the need of a middle man.

5. HOW DOES THE AVAILABILITY CALENDAR WORK?

The calendar works on a two process update method. Firstly, when someone books a home the calendar will automatically update with your chosen dates, this takes effect immediately, but if not confirmed with payment will expire after 10 minutes. Secondly, the home owner has the option of updating the calendar manually should they receive a personal booking, making this process effective and instant.

7. IS THERE A TRAVEL AGENT ARRANGEMENT FEE?

It is down to the individual home owner as to what kind of promotions or incentives that they offer to travel agents other companies that assist vacationers in renting vacation homes. Please use the contact information on the site to contact the homeowner direct.

8. HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT FOR ANSWER?

In most cases the whole process will take care of everything automatically, including payment and confirmation emails to both you and the home owner. Only when there are special requirements or requests that need answering should there be a need to contact the homeowner and wait for a response.

9. HOW SECURE IS YOUR SITE?
