California Vacation Rental Business Booming


Arnold, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

Cedar Creek Realty, a vacation rental and property management company in Arnold, California reports that vacation rentals are being snapped up in the area.

“This was the best July we’ve ever had. It was record numbers for us,” said Kelley Stellar, vacation rental manager for Cedar Creek Realty in Arnold. “Many people who used to take their vacations to Hawaii, Europe or Tahoe are coming up to the Arnold area these days.”

Stellar believes this is partly due to the poor economy and partly due to the recent “discovery” of the Arnold area by young families in the East Bay of California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

Stellar estimates there are between 150 and 300 vacation rentals available in the greater Arnold area. Renters often just stay for the weekend, but week- and month-long stays are becoming increasingly common.

From a business perspective, experts believe that turning a second home into a vacation rental is a good way to supplement income. “It’s a great idea in this point in time,” Stellar said. “All of my rentals are second homes. Now, because of the economy, they have decided to rent them out for extra income.”

Stellar said that along with the booming rentals, home sales are also up in the area. “We get people who actually are up here looking to purchase a home to put it in a vacation rental program. They know that now is a good time buy.”

There are two main seasons for vacation rentals. During the summer, families come up for vacations and enjoy the lakes and rivers and exploring the mountains. In the winter, numerous skiers head to the hills. “From the third week in June (when kids get out of school) through Labor Day” is a booming time, Stellar said. “We start getting busy again when the snow flies around Thanksgiving. That lasts through Easter.”

Who rents?

People come from all over the state and beyond to stay in the cabins and homes in the Arnold area.

“Most people are coming in with two to three families,” Stellar added. “They rent the larger houses. Usually, it’s families. People in their 30s with children ranging from 5 to 13. We get a lot of them from the Bay Area.” Luckily for owners, there are very few younger renters, and the cabins do not receive very much damage. “We don’t get a lot of the 20-somethings up here,” Stellar said. “Almost all of them are families. I really don’t get a lot of damage. I might get a spill on the carpet from kids carrying a Coke. Really, it’s very good.”

Why Arnold?

“People have actually started to discover us,” Stellar said. “We have a whole lot to offer. Once somebody comes up here once, they go home and tell their friends and bring their friends up. Then they come back up year after year. They often use the same cabin every year. It’s kind of a tradition. It’s actually becoming a big draw.”

“If you’re taking a family of five to go skiing and go to Tahoe, you spend a bundle. You can come here instead and spend a lot less.”

“I think it’s more beautiful here,” Stellar said. “It’s a beautiful easy drive from the Bay Area. The people up here are incredibly friendly. There is so much to do. From Murphys all the way up, there is so much diversity.”

Blue Lakes Springs is one of the most popular rental areas because there’s a lot to do within the subdivision.

“Most people are looking for the recreation areas,” Stellar said. “Blue Lakes Springs is very popular because of all the activities they offer. Most families want something for their kids to do.”

This popularity of the vacation rentals has led to home sales rising as well, as some vacationers want a permanent home in the scenic Highway 4 corridor.

About Cedar Creek Realty

Cedar Creek Realty’s staff offers both the local knowledge and the big city expertise to handle the real estate needs of full-time residents and second homeowners from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Travelers Migrate South for Thanksgiving Feasts and Vacation Rentals


Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Many Thanksgiving travelers are heading south for the busiest travel holiday of the year. Ski destination bookings are picking up for the Holiday weekend and are expected to continue to grow as cooler weather arrives and snow accumulates. Perfect Places, a leading vacation rentals website, reports that Florida, the Carolinas and Southern California are seeing the most bookings.

“As of now, we are seeing the most bookings from travelers who are heading south for the Thanksgiving weekend,” Rick Haggart, President of Perfect Places, said. “Skiing destinations are also popular and the Lake Tahoe region and the High Sierras in California are booking particularly well.

“Overall, bookings for ski destinations are off to a slightly slower start than last year, however, we are expect ski bookings to pick up dramatically over the next several weeks.” Haggart said. “We will need Mother Nature to cooperate over the next month and provide some early snow and cold weather for snow-making prior to the Holiday to help jump-start ski travel plans.”

Florida is the most popular destination for those looking to feast on sunshine and sand with California ranking second. The mid-Atlantic coastal states combined equal the number of travelers heading to California which includes warm weather seekers and the skiers and snow enthusiasts heading for Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras. Hawaii and Georgia are also popular destinations.

“Internationally, we’re seeing strong showings for Costa Rica and Mexico,” Haggart said. “Italy and France are also popular for people looking to go overseas over Thanksgiving. Canada is also showing solid bookings for people wanting the fall/winter ambiance.”

About Perfect Places: Perfect Places offers over 60,000 vacation rental properties in more than 80 countries. Perfect Places operates a portfolio of vacation rental websites including PerfectPlaces.com, forGetaway.com, LakeRentals.com, CoastRentals.com, MountainSkiRentals.com and RentJillsHouse.com.

Rent My Vacation Home has Special Deals Every 3 Hours on Cyber Monday 11-28-2011


New York, New York (PRWEB) November 28, 2011

Rent My Vacation Home dot com and everyone in the travel industry is jumping on the Cyber Monday bandwagon with a rash of deals that last, in some cases, for only a flash. Despite the quick booking window, buyers might nail a bargain for traveling through the holidays and beyond.

Here are the Cyber Monday Deals they start at 9am EST and run until 9pm EST with a new deal every three hours.

If having trouble purchasing the deal try again during the three hour time span that the deal is available, please remember there is a limit of one per household per deal. Trips to Hawaii are included for the big drawing.

Skip the lines on Black Friday? There’s still Cyber Monday — and analysts are expecting an abundance of deals to bring in record online sales this year.

It’s a trend analysts are calling “couch commerce” — more people want to spend money online from the comfort of their homes rather than head out to the shops.

The rise of tablet computers in the last year is a major game changer in e-commerce.

Think about when the concept of Cyber Monday was first born, it was a time when people had dial-up access at home — it was the office place or the workplace where they could access sites, now everyone has broadband access. People have tablets, they’re able to get online earlier and at home, and retailers are trying to capture that mind share.

If traveling this year come by Rent My vacation home dot com and see the specials not only for home owners but travelers as well.
