When planning your St. John getaway, you want to receive a personalized experience that can help you determine the accommodations and itinerary that best works for you! Most large OTAs, such as Homeaway, VRBO, Airbnb, etc., will provide you with limited basic information on available St John Island vacation rental properties but they cannot give you that special personalized experience that can take your vacation to the next level! Most OTAs have very limited ‘local knowledge’ about the St. John destination and they typically charge an additional ‘traveler’s fee’ for booking through their systems.

What is an Online Travel Agency (OTA)? What is Homeaway?
An online travel agency or OTA sells travel packages to customers on behalf of global consolidators of airlines, hotels, car rentals, railways, sightseeing packages, and vacation rental properties. An OTA allows you to book flight tickets, holiday packages, hotel rooms, train tickets, and vacation rental properties online using a phone, tablet, or computer. However, OTAs generally offer limited, if any, local knowledge about the destination and amenities available.
Homeaway Inc. is an OTA that is part of the Expedia.com travel network. They are an online source which allows travelers to preview a large number of vacation rental listings around the world. OTAs represent an online source that people often check when looking to book a vacation rental home. However, because of the large size and non-local characteristics, you will not get the personal touch that a local professional property manager of St John Island vacation rental properties can offer.
What is a Professional Property Manager?
A Professional Property Manager is personally involved with the homes and properties that they manage and, as importantly, the market area where they are located. OTAs cannot offer this familiarity because of the inherent impersonal nature of their type of service. Homeowners use the services of a professional property manager who can maximize the rental of their home. Professional property managers can provide comprehensive property maintenance and can handle all the details associated with vacation rental property management. With this more personal involvement, Professional property managers will have a more hands-on approach with a vacation rental property. Thus, they will provide an overall higher quality experience for vacationers.
