"With over 100 restaurants within walking distance or a five-minute drive, we put out a nicely bound hardback notebook for guests to write their own reviews. In five years they've nearly filled two books, so they clearly enjoy doing it."

P.S. If your home is not listed on HomeAway, you too can be part of this contest. Call now for details 866-200-4739. |

Is it really almost June already? While I'd love to say that I've gotten my dreaded spring cleaning out of the way, let's be honest: I'm last-minute Lizzie again! But I realize with summer just around the corner, now is the time to lay the groundwork for a profitable and problem-free summer season.
This month's newsletter is chock-full of everything you need to know to grab the summer season by the horns, from quick and easy decorating ideas to the secret weapon I've discovered to put an end to the headache (and guilt trips) that come with last-minute cancellations.
Last month's newsletter really struck a chord with a lot of you, and we were so pleased to hear so many great ideas, suggestions and tips you sent us to share with other owners. Your feedback inspired us to create a new feature to spotlight the very best tips we receive each month. And (because who doesn't like a contest?) we'll award a special prize to our favorite tip from each month. So keep the tips coming!
Happy Renting!
