June 26-30 Available Happy to say that we have calmed the fears of a couple people and tentatively rented most of this period. June 26-June 30 (4 nights) is still available.

Just lost a likely renter for part of this period due to oil concerns. Great gated complex, tennis, lagoon pool, beach bar/grill, all the amenities. King in master, 2 doubles in guest bedroom. Walk to Rosemary and Alys beach areas. High Pointe 222

Just got back from the beach and everything is great! Our June 1-5 opening is still available for discounted rate.

I agree, work from the contract. Yours sounds very similar to ours as far as cancellation beyond the 'full refund' time frame and refunding any portion that can be re-rented.

We have a couple openings that we are filling at great discounted rates. 2 bedroom, 2 bath poolside unit with water view. Great amentities, right next to Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach. May 23-27 (4 nights available) - $125 per night plus tax/cleaning. June 1-5 (4 nights available) - $175...

We have several openings between now and 5/23 in our 2br/2ba High Pointe unit. It is poolside, 2nd floor, and you can see the ocean from the balcony. Gated community, tennis courts, huge tropical pool with waterfalls, hot tub, kiddie pool, kids playground, and much more. Right next to...

We charge $250 for rentals that are usually between $750 and $2000. I cash it on receipt and mail it back after checkout. I have never had to keep any part of it. The only time I ever agreed to just hold a deposit check (not my beach property), the guest was there a month, left the place a...

I have been getting a lot of inquiries through VRBO lately for my ski property from people coming to 'work' the winter season and asking about monthly rates. Usually they are from Brazil or Mexico or somewhere. Simple reply is that we don't rent monthly during prime season. They are all so...

Update: We have good availability for fall - Sep/Oct/Nov - great time of year to go and priced at $129 per night weekends (plus tax/cleaning), $109 weekdays.

We have a last minute opening over Labor weekend at our 2br/2ba High Pointe Condo. Gated community, great amenities, right next to Rosemary Beach. Discounted rate for the holiday weekend of $149 per night (plus $55 cleaning and 11% tax). See pictures at http://www.rentfromowner.com...

We have availability at our condo beginning August 10th - email for discounted rates for end of summer. 2 br/2ba poolside unit with view of the ocean and overlooking the huge tropical pool. High Pointe is right next to Rosemary Beach and has many amenities - tennis, playground, hot tub...

Still have this weekend available through the morning of 7/15 and next Fri/Sat nights. Last minute rate of $169 per night (plus tax/cleaning) is 33% off regular rate. Email or pm if interested.

Just replaced my original a/c - it lasted about10.5 years. It wasn't totally gone but to do a partial fix and then possibly have to replace it anyway in a few months wasn't worth it.

Last minute cancellation opens our 2BR/2BA unit at High Pointe today through next Tuesday. We also have 2 nights next weekend - Fri/Sat. Poolside unit with view of the water and overlooking the huge tropical pool. High Pointe is right next to Rosemary Beach and has many amenities - tennis...

The latest pearl of wisdom from The Today Show's real estate 'expert' Barbara Corcoran yesterday - "if now is not the time to buy, when is?"

The weekend is still open, $159 per night.

Our guest this week had to cut their trip short, so we have some open nights now through Sunday morning. 2BR/2BA overlooking the pool with ocean view - $175 per night. Pictures at http://www.rentfromowner.com

We are totally booked except one week in July.

Thanks, check is in the mail. :)

We have had our place for 10 years now and I can tell you that the 'ownership aggravation' is nowhere close to the 'ownership joy' for us. I'm sure it varies by owner, the amount of use you get out of it, and what types of 'aggravation' crop up.

According to Barbara Corcoran, Today Show's real estate 'expert', now is a great time to buy. But so was last month and the month before that..... I think she said something this morning like 'we may not be at the bottom but we are in the bottom' while never mentioning any specific areas...

We are on the 2nd floor poolside with ocean view. Pictures can be seen at http://www.rentfromowner.com

Cutting the May 31 - June 2 to $169 per night. Great deal for a quick weekend getaway.

Or into real estate. Now is the time to buy! :biggrin:

We have available the following 2 windows: May 31-June 2 (3 nights) June 14-17 (4 nights) Discounted to $199 night, plus tax/cleaning. Email or check out pictures at http://www.rentfromowner.com Follow the Florida links.

I tried homeaway around January for a ski property in Utah. My property was pretty well booked already for last season but I wanted to get some more exposure beyond vrbo for the remainder of the season plus the ramping up of the 2008/2009 season that will begin soon. However, my inquiries...

I think that is the name of this development - it's just east of Shades. I was down a week or so ago and was surprised to see the deterioration of the houses in progress there. There is also one foundation sitting and one empty lot with a for sale sign on it. Did a builder go under?

One point about pictures is that vrbo will only let you change them for free on your anniversary renewal date, unless policy has changed. Otherwise there is a small fee. You can add new pictures at any time to move up the list for whatever the additional charge is. I have found that finding...

For one of our rental properties out west, we bought stuff from here: http://www.minimus.biz.

We have availability from now until April 5 as there was a last minute cancellation. We have a 2br/2ba poolside with ocean view at High Pointe in Seacrest Beach. Bar/grill overlooking the ocean, tennis, kids playground, huge tropical pool with waterfalls, hot tub, and kiddie pool. Pictures...

Yes, I don't think anywhere was reduced. Places like California were talked about going over 700k as an upper limit but I don't know if it went through.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of those foreclosures in Seacrest are either speculator owned who got caught when the music stopped or 2nd home owners who just bit off more than they chew at the wrong time. Each market is totally different. Here in our metro Atlanta suburban neighborhood, I...

Several weeks ago I had someone email me regarding our ski condo. The nightly rate is around $250, lodging tax is 10.35%. Minimum stay during ski season is 5 nights (but flexible to fill empty holes and also as the dates get closer). They were inquiring about a 3 night stay on a weekend in...

I agree with John R, the tv investigative reporter type thing sounds like a possible idea.

This sounds like an answer straight out of your hero Dubya's mouth. Either you are ignorant or trying to put your own version of the truth out there.

We allow full refunds for cancellation 45 days or more prior to arrival minus a small ($25) fee. Anything less than 45 days is not refundable unless we can rebook the property. Some people don't seem to realize that many times we have taken our property off the market for them for 6 months or...

Hard to tell. If someone is lending their money, only that person/company can assess the risk. You seem to imply that brokers make the decisions to lend money. Brokers do not lend money or make lending decisions. Brokers submit loan applications/packages to wholesale lenders. The decision...

Again, personal responsibility lies with the buyer. A car dealership is in the business to sell cars. As long as the customer's credit meets the qualifications and there is no fraud involved, the dealer should not be in the business of policing how a person spends their money. What do you...

Typical know-it-all response that has nothing to do with what I said. These 'deadbeats' are making their own decisions on what to buy and how far to extend themselves with consumer goods purchases. Just because someone says 'Sure, you can have this $30,000 truck for $600 a month' doesn't mean...

Homeaway has been around for about a year, I think, and actually purchased vrbo.com and several other sites (cyberrentals, A1 rentals to name a couple). So far they are keeping vrbo separate as you still pay a separate fee to be listed on vrbo. If you sign up at Homeaway, you also get listings...

I realize that packaged car loans may be a problem, but my point is that the blame on many of these foreclosures, barring fraud, job loss, illness, lies on the borrowers. Typical scenario: Borrower: I want to refinance my home, I can't afford the payments anymore. Loan Officer: How is your...

No one ever seems to mention that a lot of times these idiot borrowers COULD afford their mortgages when they got them, but then proceeded to go out and buy a new car with a $600 monthly payment, then maybe even a 2nd car after that, because the auto companies will make loans to just about...

My point was more aimed at the other statement implying that the only way to own at the beach is: "....2 jobs, credit cards, HELOCs, 401K loans, ramen--lots and lots of ramen (five different flavors)".

More blanket statements about groups of people while using nebulous words like 'lots', 'many', and 'some'. I'm sure there are 'lots', 'many', and 'some' who did the opposite and are as happy as they could be with their beach homes.

Originally Posted by SHELLY ....2 jobs, credit cards, HELOCs, 401K loans, ramen--lots and lots of ramen (five different flavors). Strange as it may sound, there are some people out there in the world that have a lot of money. There are also some that bought years ago. There are even...

As was said, all banks are different but I have heard that most will not even consider a short sale unless the buyer can prove they are unable to pay, not that they just don't want to.

There was a big debate a couple years ago with some pushing from tourist areas (the east coast beaches - Jekyll, etc) regarding losing a month of business. Other arguments for starting later were the heat and having to run AC on high in the schools, extra smog from the buses and increased...

Many Atlanta area schools (and most of Georgia I think) start the first week of August. Some have even started the last week of July in the past year or two, so 2nd week of August is when prices tend to drop off.

I believe one Ga senator has already had a conversation with Delta's CEO.

One week of Spring Break left - March 29 - April 5. Still some good days available for ski season in Park City as well. http://www.rentfromowner.com
