Why you Should Book Direct

Booking your dream vacation is easier than ever. The development of third-party online travel agencies, like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, can give you hundreds or thousands of results - but, is there a cheaper, more optimal booking option? Booking directly through an on-site rental management company such as KBM Resorts is not only a traditionally less expensive option - but offers more perks!

Avoid Scams

As online booking platforms have become more prevalent, creating fraudulent bookings is now easier than ever with just a click. Unfortunately, many travelers only discover they have been scammed after arriving at their destination to find no record of their reservation. When you book directly with KBM Resorts, your reservation is instantly entered into our management system, ensuring your stay is confirmed and allowing for direct communication with our agents. A key warning sign of a potential scam is the payment method used. If a listing requests payment through any platform other than the one you're booking on, it’s likely a scam. KBM Resorts will never ask you to use third-party payment processors such as Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp. Additionally, by booking directly, you can rest assured that your personal information is secure.

Save Money

Booking directly ensures that you receive the lowest rate on your vacation rental. Many online travel agencies impose additional booking or service fees on top of the nightly rate, cleaning fee, and taxes, which can increase your overall cost. These fees typically range from 5% to 15% of the total and can significantly impact your vacation budget!

Leave it to the Professionals

If you enjoy a luxury, hotel-like experience in your vacation rentals, you should book your vacation rental directly through KBM Resorts. There are many properties online that are managed through the owner themselves. However, owner-managed rentals are not necessarily held to the same standards as rentals that are professionally managed. Luckily, at KBM Resorts we have a dedicated in-house operations, maintenance, and housekeeping team, so should any challenges arise during your stay - we are able to resolve them as quickly as possible (even after hours!) to get you back to your stress-free vacation!

Superior Customer Service

Because many online booking sites are simply a third party, their customer service will more than likely have little to no specific knowledge about a specific property. Our in-house KBM Resorts employees offer extensive knowledge of all of our vacation rentals and on-site amenities within each complex. We are happy and ready to answer all questions and offer recommendations for the best property to fit your vacation dreams!

 

There are several benefits to renting directly from us at KBM Resorts. We are a locally owned and family-opperated property management company, and not only can we help you get the best rates but we also have the knowledge to find the best vacation rental for your stay. Ready to book your perfect vacation rental?!
