After you have completed the enquiry form our system will send your request to the property manger, agent or owner direct. Whilst we encourage prompt replyies you should not leave your request for information unanswered for more the 24 hours particularly if you are trying to book in peak season.

Am I guaranteed to get the dates I want?

No. Many bookings are completed over a year in advance and many bookings are perpetual, meaning the same booking for the same house is locked in for the same person year on year. You may find you will not get the house you want in popular locations and popular times throughout the year.

What should I take with me to the beach house I rent?

Most beach houses are fully equipped with everything you will need regarding linen and towels. Check the specific inclusions as some properties also include pantry items. Always ask what you will have provided on your arrival with the owner, property manger or agent.

Who do I call if there is an issue at the beach house while I am there?

Direct all communication with the booking agent, property manager or owner. Obtain contact information as soon as you have confirmed your booking and make sure you have an after hours number should you need it although once you arrive the property profile documents in the house will guide you as to what to do in an emergency.

I want to list my property for free but don't have photos is that a problem?

Yes that is a real issue as most people wanting to rent a holiday house are highly motivated by the visual marketing of a property. Leaving the photos off your listing almost certainly guarantees you will have little or no enquiry on the property for rent.
