Many rental companies advertise some or all of their properties on VRBO.
I am aware of that. I'm just curious why JOE isn't using this lead generating medium?

Now that is a good question. Ran into a friend of mine over lunch whose has a friend working for a management company and they are reporting a tremendous amount of rental activity bookings for the season, so it clearly is not a lack of demand.I am aware of that.

your Right!!I assure you very few rentals on 30-a have 80% of there spring and summer rentals booked. go and ramdom pull up 10-20 rentals on 30-a. if they have 6-8 weeks total they're doing good
It may have changed, but I remember VRBO resulting in a lot of, ahem, "bargain hunters". One woman kept insisting that she had never paid bed tax and felt that it was illegal for us to charge her.
Of course there's the time honored, "All the kids are very well behaved, I'll be staying somewhere else, can I get a discount? They're just students..."
JOE sent out an email last week advertising 35 percent off for spring break rentals. Kinda tells you what a great job they are doing. If you search homes available to rent in Watersound Beach, of which they don't seem to have many to rent, it appears that most of these houses remain available for most of spring break at this point.
I had one on vrbo didn't want to pay 49,00 for property insurance. So I said ok. 500 refundable deposit no problem. Nope she said no one charged 500 she only pays 250. Needless to say she moved on.JOE sent out an email last week advertising 35 percent off for spring break rentals. Kinda tells you what a great job they are doing.

I honestly feel that Watersound isn't really on the radar of most families on spring break. Spring break tends to be a very social event and I doubt mom and dad want to drive the kids to Seaside or Rosemary Beach everyday. Lets face it Seaside is the epicenter and, unlike an earthquake, everyone wants to be standing in it or as closely to it as possible.
