Heads Up on Sanibel Rentals

It happened again today.


In fact it's been happening all week.


Well to be honest, the trend is at least 2 months old.


Sanibel Island is getting sold out.


Yes, we are serious about this, and it's not just the week of March 31 which gets pretty much booked solid every year.


We also have properties that are booked for the whole summer. And our pet friendly houses for winter 2013 are just about G-O-N-E. At this moment, we have one pet friendly home open for March. All the others are booked for both February and March 2013 and with little availability for either January or April.


As a result of this heavy, non stop booking trend, we are finding a fair amount of frustration on the part of rental guests. They find that not only are they not able to find any "bargains" , they are not able to find any vacancies at all.


Now you may be thinking that this is little bit of hype to get you to plan early and book soon, and certainly that is the intention, but we are speaking the honest truth. And, to be totally honest, it does not matter that much (if at all) to our bottom line whether you book a year in advance or a day in advance.


But we do want each and every one of our guests to have the best experience possible while visiting Sanibel. That objective is best achieved when the guest gets to choose the kind of place where they want to spend their holiday, rather than just having to accept what ever is left when the dust of bookings settles.


OK, nuff said. Just a word to the wise....
