We are self managed and had a great year last year but this year seems to be taking a slow start, especially for Spring Break? Anyone else experiencing a slow booking season for Spring Break? When is the big booking time for Spring Break? Our home is usually occupied with repeat guests and maybe I am in that transition year where the guests schedules are not working out to come or there SB is very early are the weather is questionable? What has been your experiences so far?

This week has seen a little activity. Nothing so far has panned out. I had one that was highly offended when I asked how many people would occupy my home and that I would charge her extra for heating my pool.
I honestly detest trying to screen people for Spring Break. :bang:

Yep! That's the one. I had the same thought you did. Drop those girls off and hightail it back to Ga. Had it happen before. Not a good situation.

Will do. Right now I have the SnowBirds from hail. My PMC is earning their $$$ on these 2! :funn:If my PMC "fires" me I might take you up on your offer.
Mine are not good. I have had no problems in the past and now??? I get inquiries and then poof they are gone.
That is what I am seeing. I am getting inquiries and then I respond back with an email and phone call and speak in length and then they are gone. We have been self renting for about 5 years and I have never not had most of my SB filled or at least 3/4 of them by now. Now, my summer has filled up quicker this year than last year as I already have 6 weeks booked. I have had good luck with SB's so I hope things pick up.

Bingo! The economy is heading for recession (or already in one) and folks will be looking for vacations on-the-cheap, if at all. That, and spring break is earlier, and ergo colder, this year.

Georgia Tech's spring break starts after classes are over on March 14th. Frigid! But then Easter is on 3/23? Wearing a fur on Easter is just so incongruous.

MinnieBeach FanaticMemphis4,328 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach Fanaticbased on my personal experiences from coming down this week and looking at rentals for a week of April that with the economy and gas prices that I can't lock myself into a rental that I can't cancel last minute and get all my money back.
I know that limits my choices of getting some great deals with Owner's but with my schedule I have to book things last minute.
So usually I book the Marriot at Sandestin simply due to the ease of cancellations.
So I think possibly others are looking and getting prices but afraid to go ahead and commit to something this far out. I think bookings will pick up but it will be closer to arrival date.

My sister in law just called to cancel -- they were going to come and stay in our guest rooms for free, but feel they can't afford even the travel and extraneous vacation spending this year.
