Planning a Delaware beach vacation? BOOK LOCAL. BOOK DIRECT.

There are some big changes happening in the vacation rental industry that travelers may not realize.

Airbnb is moving professional property managers to a 15.5% host fee, and VRBO recently announced that its commission for property managers using property-management software will increase from 5% to 12% beginning October 29.

Those fees ultimately become part of the cost of providing a vacation rental.

Then there are taxes. Delaware now charges a 4.5% state short-term rental tax, in addition to applicable local rental taxes. In Rehoboth Beach, for example, the local rental tax is another 7%. That's a total of 27%

That's a lot of your vacation dollars going toward taxes and third-party booking platforms instead of the home you're staying in.

There's a better way: book local and book direct.

When planning your Delaware beach vacation, start with local vacation rental companies. You'll be working with people who know the properties, know the communities and are actually here when you need assistance.

At PSA Coastal, you can search our available Delaware beach vacation rentals and book directly with us at:

www.psacoastal.com

Booking direct means there is no Airbnb or VRBO between you and us. You're dealing directly with the local company managing the property.

It also helps the individual owners of these homes. Many vacation rental owners aren't large corporations or investors. They're families who love the Delaware beaches, maintain a second home, share it with vacationing families and hope that someday it may become their retirement home.

The more of each rental dollar that stays with the property, the more that's available for maintenance, improvements and keeping these homes places you'll want to return to year after year.

So as you start thinking about your next trip to the Delaware beaches:

Skip the big booking platforms. Search local. Book direct. Support local.
