Top 3 tips for booking a perfect holiday apartment

If you’ve decided against a hotel in favour of a holiday rental property, there are lots of perks that come with the choice. Not only can vacation apartments be great value for money but there’s often more room to move and the bonus of a kitchen for self-catering.

But as no two holiday apartments are the same, how do you find one that’s right for you and your group? In this article, we’ll share some of our top tips for finding and booking the perfect holiday rental, no matter where in the world you are traveling.

It all begins by using a trustworthy holiday rental booking site. If you’re looking for a place to start your search, Rentola across Canada and beyond. Whether you want to be in the heart of all the action in Gastown or bunk down in one of Yaletown’s family-friendly abodes, there are Vancouver rentals online to meet all tastes and budgets.

1. Identify your “must haves”

Before you start your search, write down what your budget is and any “must have” features of the holiday rental that you aren’t willing to compromise on. Maybe it’s the number of bedrooms and the inclusion of high-speed Wi-Fi or perhaps you really want a swimming pool to cool off in during the hot, summer months. Other popular facilities include off-street parking, self-catering kitchens, and child-friendly amenities.

By understanding your priorities (and that of your group), you can better target your search. Rather than spending hours scrawling through the seemingly endless number of options, you’ll be able to identify a handful that meet your needs and choose accordingly. Remember, the earlier you book, the wider range of properties that will be available, so don’t leave your search to the last minute!
