"Our Sanibel condo bookings are great this summer! I refused to offer any discounts because my expenses have increased. I wish other condo owners would hold firm on their rates too." -Jane, Sanibel Island, FL (VRBO)

“This summer is better than last summer! We did not offer any discounts and we only have one open week from May 23-August 29th! Offering a discount can give a perception that something is wrong with your property and it devaluates the entire market. We've heard that guests receiving a big discount tend to cause more damage to your property. Lower airfares and concerns about Mexico may have helped.” -Wanda, Sanibel, FL

“Summer has started slow but may end up close to normal bookings for July and August. Have had to break up the weeks more instead of renting full weeks.” - Robert, Lake Tahoe, CA (HomeAway #307000, VRBO #20383)
