Benefits of Booking Direct With Sea Scape Properties vs Airbnb/VRBO

It’s time to book your next vacation to the coastal North Carolina area. If you’re like most people, the first place you start your search is on Airbnb or VRBO. While these sites are convenient, you are actually missing out on several perks that come with booking directly with Sea Scape Properties.

Airbnb and VRBO are examples of OTAs, or ‘online travel agencies.’ These platforms provide a mix of listings and offer general customer services to guests booking on them. And they don’t operate for free—you pay for the service through fees during your booking. But what if we told you that you could book the same properties for less money and get even more personalized benefits during your stay by going direct?

Here’s why booking direct is preferred by our guests.

Instant saving of all the OTA fees

If you’ve ever booked accommodations on Airbnb or VRBO, you’re already familiar with the additional service fees, cleaning fees, and taxes applied right before completing the booking. These fees surprise many guests since they can significantly increase the final price of the accommodation. When booking on these platforms, you can expect to pay at least 15% additional fees on top of the accommodation cost.

Booking directly with Sea Scape Properties can help you avoid those pesky fees. You can use more of your travel budget to book the accommodation of your choice instead of a large portion going towards fees. Since our vacation rentals are also featured on OTAs, that’s instant savings in your wallet simply by switching to direct booking.

On-demand dedicated maintenance and support team

Airbnb and VRBO have made it easy for anyone to create a listing for vacation homes while relying on the platform’s customer service to help facilitate between guests. You’ll be happy to know that Sea Scape Properties isn’t your typical host. These standard customer services have limitations, so we strive to elevate them to the next level for guests booking directly with us.

As a full-service property management company, we can provide on-the-ground support for guests during their stay. If something isn’t working correctly, we’re on-call to fix it ASAP so you can continue to enjoy your vacation with minimal interruptions. Our team is also available for concierge services.

In addition to these services, booking direct also provides similar services for FAQs and a resolution center.

Fully stocked properties

There’s nothing better than arriving at your vacation rental after a long day of travel and having everything you need waiting for you. Sea Scape Properties brings hospitality amenities to the vacation rental industry! Booking direct gives you the peace of mind knowing that your rental will come with a fully equipped kitchen, toiletries, and more. Our oceanfront vacation rentals also have beach chairs, toys, and other accessories you can use during your stay!

In addition to the standard amenities, our team is available to provide additional services like having groceries delivered timely to your door when you arrive.

All the privacy and security of home

Treat your Wrightsville Beach vacation rental like your home away from home. Booking accommodations shouldn’t feel like house-sitting for a friend. You can never be truly comfortable living in someone’s space designed to their liking versus being in carefully curated spaces designed for guest stays.

We want guests to feel comfortable during their stay. We’re a trusted platform backed by high-rated reviews attesting to our focus on providing quality spaces to enjoy vacation. Our properties are booked only with the people you want to spend time with and offer plenty of privacy. Once the keys are in your hand, it’s your place to call ‘home’ until check out.

Carefully curated and selected homes

Coastal North Carolina is popular for vacation rentals. A quick weekend search on Airbnb and VRBO will yield 1,000+ options for accommodations, ranging in price, number of guests, amenities, and whether it’s for an entire unit or simply a room. We have many other things to plan during our trip, such as flights and things to do. Booking direct with Sea Scape Properties narrows your accommodation search to only the best vacation rentals in town!

We continue to build our portfolio of vacation rentals with properties from owners who love having guests! You can easily search for pet-friendly or oceanfront rentals or specify your preferred amenities. Our properties also have guest reviews to get insight into the stay experience.

Instead of browsing pages of listings on other OTAs, go directly to our website and get guest-preferred rentals.
