Start here. Please add our domain to your safe list. If it did not help, please kindly contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to verify that they have not blocked e-mail from our system. The simplest way to ensure valid email is not blocked is to add the sender's email address to your Whitelist. Check the quarantine settings often, as new spam filters require babysitting to ensure valid email is not blocked. ^ Top |

The Villa4Vacation Rental site consists of hundreds of private vacation rentals available direct from the homeowners and sometimes their agents. Arrangements for rent or lease are made directly with them. Each page on the Villa4Vacation site lists a phone number and/or email address. Some owners choose to use either or for communications.
All inquiries should be sent to the homeowner or agent directly. Villa4Vacation does not mediate any issues between vacationers and homeowners, we only advertise the properties. Please be aware that phone without country codes are in the United States, Canada or Caribbean. We sometimes receive inquiries from vacationers seeking our help in contacting owners. The most common reason in the response delay is that the owner's himself or herself are on vacation. Please give them some time or you can also choose another property from our website. ^ Top |

First and foremost vacationers are concerned with location.(geographical region).
Next in importance is the number of bedrooms. Third and commonly last is the price.

It is totally up to homeowner to let guests with pets in or not. Some owners do not allow absolutely any pets in their home. Please do not take it personally. It is usually not because they do not like pets.
There are many people out there who are allergic to animals. For this reason some houses would have to be specially cleaned. Additional cleaning and insurance cost does not let some owners to permit animals on the premises. Good News - We might help you with pet's motel near by. Please call us for details or email customerservice@villa4vacation.com ^ Top |

Usually, there is great selection of restaurants and shops to choose from since most vacation homes are located in tourist's attraction areas. However, please do your own research, ask the owners for the address of the property or at least street and zip code and look it up on Yahoo or Google Yellow Pages.

Honestly, there is no guarantee. Just as anyone can take out an ad in newspaper and advertise a fictitious home, the same can occur on the Web. We do not personally check out properties prior to their advertising on Villa4Vacation. So far, to date we have not had a single case of fraud. Please check out the Disclaimer for Renters page for more info. We advise asking homeowners for references, or a list of past renters.
One more tip: if a rental rate seems too good to be true, be aware! While there are exceptions, you probably won't find any Mercedes at Kia's prices. This is not to say there is anything wrong with less expensive properties; many represent great value, and boast long lists of returning guests. It is simply that some people might have higher expectations than they should. ^ Top |

Deposit-type disagreements could be avoided if Rental Agreements or Leases were written clearly, with defined dates and instructions AND vacationers were diligent in adhering to the schedules. If such agreements, which are in actuality simple contracts, spelled out all the details and contingencies, there would be little room for misunderstanding when conditions weren't followed.
