What are the benefits of renting with Florida Vacay vs renting directly with an individual owner?
-
Why is renting a vacation home better than staying at a hotel?
Simply stated, with a vacation rental home, you get more space, more privacy, unique décor and overall savings. Your family or group stay together in one shared space vs meeting each other in a hallway or in a public common area. Once you experience a vacation in a private vacation rental home, it will be your vacation lifestyle from now on! You can cook meals, make snacks, enjoy entertaining in your private vacation home. Save money making your own meals and then use the saving to explore many of the local restaurants
-
What forms of payment do you accept?
The Initial Reservation Down Payment must be paid with a major credit card. The Balance Due amounts can be paid with a major credit card or regular check. All checks must be received 60 days prior to arrival. Any reservation with a balance due 60 days or after will be automatically charged to the credit card on file.

How can I always receive the best price for a vacation rental?
If you book directly with Florida Vacay Rentals either by phone or on our website, you will always pay less because you will not be required to pay the “Guest Fee” charged by the online, third party travel agents like Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, Booking.com, etc. All these online travel agents charge a fee to advertise on their website and they charge you, the traveler, a fee to book a reservation on their website. They DO NOT own the properties nor do they manage the properties, they only advertise the vacation properties. That’s why you may see the same vacation rental property on multiple sites. They advertise large amounts of “vacation rental inventory”, we actually represent the Owners of the Vacation Rental Property so we can save you money when you book directly with us at Florida Vacay. You can control your reservation and eliminate the “middle man” online.
