There was a big post on here yesterday about sales being down all over town and talking about the high prices of lodging whether you stay at a short term rental condo or a hotel. Of course I am partial to short term rentals but both hotels and STRs have seen insurance go up 47% each year for 2 years. Homeowners escrowing should check their statements. For STRs we also have rising condo fees which keep the pools parking lawns gardens etc.
Insurance is what has really gotten out of hand though
I suggest booking early as I have discounts for early booking. I have full kitchens so cooking in can reduce costs even if its only breakfast. Above all BOOK DIRECT! Call the owner or hotel front desk. Ask for maybe a cheaper rate.
We lose alot of revenue to booking sites so booking direct is good for everyone.
Book direct — a bayfront beach condo in Ocean City, MD (sleeps 8) plus a Windham, NY mountain retreat coming soon. Best rate, no booking fees.
