Best Booking Tips

Book 4–6 months ahead for peak seasons like spring break and summer.
Travel in the shoulder seasons (September–October, April–May) for better rates and fewer crowds.
Compare platforms—sometimes booking direct with a local rental agency can save on fees.
Split larger homes with friends or family for a better per-person rate.
