No Booking Fee Vacation Home Rentals In Costa Rica

Osa Property Management has recently joined the “No Booking Fee Vacation Home Rentals” model. This is true for all of the properties we manage in the southern pacific zone of Costa Rica. Our commitment is to make visiting Costa Rica a great, enjoyable AND affordable experience.

Although we continue to list our properties on VRBO and other vacation home rental websites, including our own site (here), we have also invested in the growth and success of CostaRicaVillasRent.com

Vacation home rental sites like VRBO have quietly been increasing their fees to customers over the past couple of years. Home owners are typically comfortable (to a certain financial point) with paying the hosting company a fee per booked guest. However, VRBO has now started charging the customers an additional fee – a fee which increases the cost to the customer. These fees, when added together can be over 15%!

There are other advantages (from a customer and a home owner’s viewpoint) of CostaRicaVillasRent.com versus other sites such as VRBO and airbnb, including:

• Contact information between homeowner and prospective client are immediately known. Once a prospect sends his/her information on the website, the homeowner or property manager is immediately notified and contact information is known.
• All payments are handled directly between the homeowner/property manager and the traveler. CostaRicaVillasRent.com does not handle or facilitate payments. This empowers the homeowner/property manager to decide, along with the customer, the best and most convenient way to pay (in terms of how and in terms of timing)

We are financially investing in the new website, so we are committed to its success. If you are a homeowner or property manager anywhere in Costa Rica, please visit the site or contact us for more information.
