Avoid Hidden Fees on Your Next Virginia Beach Vacation Rental
As a trusted Virginia Beach vacation rental company since 1943, we've seen it all — the happy reunions, the sandy flip‑flops by the door, the dog‑eared paperbacks left on nightstands after a perfect beach day. And as National Book Direct Day approaches, we want to let you in on a little insider secret:
Booking your vacation directly with a local vacation rental company is one of the smartest (and happiest) travel decisions you can make.
Sure, third‑party sites might seem convenient, but when you book direct, the story of your vacation takes a much better turn. Here are five reasons why booking direct deserves a permanent bookmark in your travel plans.
Uncover the Best Prices and Zero Fees
When you book directly with us, you’re skipping the extra fees that third‑party sites tack on at checkout. No surprise service charges. No mystery “processing” fees. Just straightforward pricing and real value. With National Book Direct Day coming up, which is always the first Monday in February, we've created a one-day-only special of 20% off your vacation rental rate at 11 participating properties for any week during the summer booking season. As Ina Garten would say, "How fabulous is that?"
Experience the Coast with Local Experts
We don’t just manage vacation homes here — we live here. That means when you book direct, you get access to local recommendations you won’t find in an algorithm:
- The coffee shops we actually go to
- The good stretches of beach that tourists miss
- The best time to beat the crowds at your favorite attractions
Third‑party sites can list a property. We help you experience the destination.
Experience Personalized Service from Real People
When you book direct, you’re not routed through a call center or an automated chat. You’re talking to real people who care about your stay — and who can actually fix things if you need help. Lost your door code? Need an early check‑in? Wondering where to rent bikes? We can help, we also actually answer the phone... and you can hear the smiles in our voices too.
Uncover the Value of Supporting Local
When you book direct, more of your vacation dollars stay right here in the community — supporting local jobs, local families, and local businesses. Instead of paying hefty commissions to massive platforms, you’re investing in the place you came to enjoy. And we promise that good karma tends to come back around.
