How Vacation Rentals Connection works

It is important to note that there are two booking options that Owners enable when listing their property. A: “Instant Booking” or B: “Owner Must Confirm Booking”.
A: “Instant Booking,” booking is instant only when you see “Instant Booking” at check out. “Instant booking” is only available if Owner User choses to make it available. With “Instant Booking” enabled, the website will generate an invoice for the Renter User to pay without additional Owner input.

Renter will not see a place to pay for the booking until the Owner confirms Renter’s booking. All bookings with Please wait for owner’s confirmation! at checkout will NOT be complete without the final approval of the Owner User for the property that is booked. It is recommended that Owners respond to all request within 24 hours to either accept or deny a Renter’s request.

Owner Users acknowledge and agree that by posting a Listing on the website, Owners are bound by the terms of the Listing, and Owner shall not increase the price of the Listing after agreeing to accept a request or inquiry from a Renter User to complete a booking.
What OWNERS must know:
Owner Users pay an annual per listing fee to list each property. The current fee is FREE for the basic listing, and FREE for the featured listing, if available. Featured listings are limited in number.
The website is designed to enable Owner Users to post listings for their properties (an “Owner’s Property”) that are available to be rented by Renter Users, including information related to each such Owner’s Property. Information includes but is not limited to the location of the property, the Owner’s terms and agreement, the number of occupants that may rent the property, the availability of the property, any accommodations and other information and details relevant to each property (e.g., pet friendly, no smoking, easy access to public transportation, and other helpful information).
The website will send a notice to Owners whenever a Renter makes a Booking Reservation request through the website. Owners then deal directly with renters to finalize all agreements and payments.
