Book Direct and Save $$$
As your trusted vacation rental industry experts, we wanted to take a moment to share some valuable insights with you that can enhance your travel experience and save you money.
In recent years, online travel platforms like VRBO and Airbnb have gained popularity for booking vacation rentals. While these platforms offer convenience, they often come with hidden fees and limitations that can impact your overall budget. We believe in transparency and want to shed light on the benefits of booking directly with Watershed Cabins.
We are reputable, trustworthy, and local: Sure, the national brand recognition of Airbnb, VRBO, and others can provide some comfort and convenience when booking a vacation rental. And yes, we utilize those sites for marketing purposes to reach customers who might not otherwise find us. But while a substantial number of the listings professionally managed, many hosts on these “by owner” sites are individual property owners. Booking direct with Watershed means you are still working with a legitimate company who has been in business for over 20 years. We are licensed by the NC Real Estate Commission, and a reputable member of the local chamber of commerce. More importantly, we have local staff and substantial local resources. If you happen to experience a mechanical issue or need after-hours assistance, you’ll be glad you are not working with just a single individual self-managing his vacation home who likely lives hours away.
Avoid Hidden Fees: Online travel platforms often charge service fees, booking fees, and other hidden costs that can significantly increase the total price of your stay. By booking directly with us, you eliminate these unnecessary fees, ensuring that your hard-earned money goes towards the experience rather than hidden charges.
Exclusive Discounts and Promotions: Booking directly opens the door to exclusive discounts and promotions that are not available on third-party sites. We appreciate our loyal guests, and by cutting out the middleman, we can offer special deals, early booking discounts, and loyalty rewards that make your stay even more affordable. Many of these pricing adjustments on our website do not populate on the third-party booking sites.
Personalized Service: When you book directly with our management company, you gain direct access to our knowledgeable staff who are passionate about ensuring your vacation is perfect. We can provide personalized recommendations, address any concerns promptly, and go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. This level of service is often lost when booking through third-party platforms.
Transparent Communication: Communication is key to a successful vacation. Booking directly ensures clear and direct communication with our team. You won't have to go through a third party to get answers to your questions or address concerns, providing peace of mind throughout the booking process and your stay.
We want your vacation to be stress-free, enjoyable, and affordable. By choosing to book directly with us, you're not just saving money – you're investing in a seamless experience backed by a team dedicated to making your vacation unforgettable.
Thank you for choosing Watershed Cabins as your vacation destination. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
