Showing of Property

We often show our villa, with 10 bedrooms, people are often looking to celebrate a special event or for the perfect spot to accomodate multiple families, friends or for Corporate Retreats. They want to get a feel for the place and location, we find that usually a walk through will result in a booking. I or our House Manager will take care of our potential guests and walk throughs are by appointment only, and only if our property is unoccupied. Most of our requests come from agents and are for Brides, to date I have not yet had any 'tour' requests via HomeAway or VRBO.

We take reservations 12 to 18 months in advance. Our property caters to large groups of people up to 22 (family reunions/weddings/corporate retreats). As a result our guests normally co-ordinate travel plans and dates well in advance. If I get a request for the holiday seasons, I always check in with the previous guests to offer them first dibs. We have one family who returns each Christmas. All other times of year are a first come first serve basis. I have found a trend that people seem to think about vacations for the coming year in January, September and March.
