WeNeedaVacation

This is a local family owned business. I have been renting my property with their assistance for several years. They give you their personal attention and advice.
If you are a renter, I am sure they will be equally available to you with questions, tips on how to find a rental property that suits your needs, and how to navigate the area you are visiting.
The purpose of We Need a Vacation is to connect property owners with renters. Because We Need a Vacation is a small, family run business, they have a good idea how to make you and your family happy with a rental and they will do all to assist you with that project.

I have used
for BOTH listing a rental property and for renting vacation properties for about 10 years now.
The web site connects renters with the rental property owners directly. I personally have never experienced any issues with renting.
As a rental property owner I can honestly say the staff at WeNeedaVacation are extremely helpful, professional. If you have never rented a property before — this is the place to come.
As a renter — we have used the site to rent property in Florida when they had Florida listed. I dealt directly with the Florida rental property owner and everything was as expected.
I love this web-​site and refer my personal family and friends to this site to look for vacation rental properties. They all have had great experiences. The only tip I would personally make if you are booking a vacation and you will have a lot of questions — try to book a vacation rental that the «owner» is the actual the rental contact instead of a real estate professional who may handle the rental for a client through this site. Why? Well, my friends that had detailed questions about maybe a room set up (I.e. For a baby pack and play) or for more detail on a 1^st floor bedroom type question they found the realtor sponsored vacation rentals did not know all the details and there were delays in getting the information from the realtor. Where if they had the owner directly — there questions were answered fast, efficient. A majority of the listings are owner direct already.
I personally no longer enjoy staying in a hotel on vacation, I prefer renting a house or condo. I find with children you really need the kitchen. Plus you get so much more room and you get outdoor space. I have found that it is actually cheaper renting a house on a beach then staying at a hotel. The house has no daily hotel amenities charge, no parking fees, your not tipping anyone etc. When my friends ask me don’t you miss room service? I reply, at 2am when I want a snack and there is no room service NO. Plus, that’s why there is local food delivery for the days you prefer not to cook or I can eat at a local restaurant of choice.
Just adding my thoughts. Enjoy your vacation search!

I used this site for a last minute vacation. Be warned. They do NOT check up on the listings which are done by people owning the rentals. I choose a small rental near the beach. It was near the beach. Advertised first floor was really basement. Site told me I should know that first floor means basement. I thought it meant first floor. Only windows in bedroom could be open. Dinning was on a counter facing a wall. I ate in nice garden but table there was never cleaned. I was charged for linens although ad said they were included. I did get my money back for that. Screen door so difficult to open that it was unpleasant. I was expected to run dehumidifier and empty it since place was damp. Owner lived in home which had 3 rentals. Her response to questions regarding restaurants, etc was: «haven’t you been here before?» I was sent 12 miles away to get something faxed when there was a place 1 mile from house. Owner could not have been less helpful. Owner was Stout. Skip her rentals and use site with caution. I have rented on the cape for many years. I never had any problem until now.
