Find a place on BlueDoorRentals. Vacation rentals combine the excitement of travel with the comforts of home. With extra space, privacy, and amenities, it’s the smartest choice. Here’s how to begin. Explore your options. Search for a specific location from our homepage or explore all destinations if you aren’t sure where you want to go.  Check out the details. You can view each rental to check out photos and availability, bedroom and bathroom details, budget and see what activities and restaurants are nearby.  Read Reviews. Take a look at what past guests have said about the rental. BlueDoorRentals has real reviews from past guests. Rental owners can never edit reviews.  Contact a few rentals. Ask questions before you make a reservation. We recommend contacting at least 5 rental owners or property managers to make sure you can choose the perfect place.

Book your reservation. After contacting several rentals, you will receive responses from rental owners or property managers confirming rates and availability. Now you’re ready to select a rental and book your reservation. Sign a rental agreement. Expect to receive a rental agreement which helps everyone understand the pricing, policies, and check-in/check-out procedure for your stay.  Send your deposit. Most rentals request a small deposit to confirm the reservation. Stay safe with your payment. Avoid paying by wire transfer (such as Western Union or Money Gram), and instead always pay by credit card or PayPal. Ask Us! If you aren’t sure about anything, feel free to contact BlueDoorRentals for advice.

Check-in and have a great trip! Your vacation is almost here! Before you check-in, here are some reminders to have a great stay. Get the keys. Most rentals use either a lock box or a property manager will meet you to check you in. Make sure you know where to receive the keys or meet the property manager upon your arrival.  Discover the area. Plan ahead by doing some research on your destination before the trip. BlueDoorRentals is especially useful for finding things to do. Check out our Visitor Advice Blog for some great ideas.  Be the perfect guest. These are real homes, so enjoy your stay just as if you were living in your own house. Remember to tidy up before you leave!  Share your experience. After your trip, come back to BlueDoorRentals to leave a review. You’ll help future travelers know about your experience.

Vacation Rentals Made Easy, Fast & Friendly!

Vacation rentals come in all shapes and sizes, as do vacation rental directories. Learn what a vacation rental is, what separates this vacation rental site from the rest and vacation rental direct booking benefits.

What is a Vacation Rental ?

Vacation Rental: is any rental lodging where you can make your own meals in the suite.

Vacation rentals are as small as a studio with a microwave and/or small stove, with a bathroom and a bed.

They can also be as large as a palatial island villa!

What is this Vacation Rentals Web Site?

This site profiles vacation rentals for rent directly by owners & small local lodging companies.

That means that you’ll either be dealing directly with a friendly, locally knowledgeable and attentive property owner, or a small, locally based lodging company that is too personal (we call it attentive), unique or specialized to list on big huge travel portals like Expedia or Travelocity.

Despite their wonderful uniqueness, every listing owner or manager on this site shares these important characteristics:

1. They’re locally knowledgeable and passionate about their destination.
2. They can’t wait to share their local zeal and secrets with you.
3. You’ll get personal attention, because each property has it’s own dedicated customer service representative…or close to it.
4. Whether for a family vacation or a romantic getaway for two, their rentals deliver world-class standards that will make you smile.
