Advantages of Renting Your Vacation Property
Vacation properties are expensive and yet they are often used only for a very short period of time each year. Renting allows you to turn your vacation property into a revenue-producing asset when you are not using it. You may also be able to deduct some of the expenses of operating your cottage. For example, some owners deduct a portion of their mortgage, maintenance costs, property taxes, supplies, utilities, and travel expenses incurred while inspecting the property (your accountant can best advise in this area). Some owners also like having their cottage occupied rather than being left vacant for extended periods of time.

| I must say we are very impressed with your attention to our home. Working with you this year has made all the difference in our bottom line. Thank you so much for taking care of us! |

Renting through Great Spots! doesn't mean you can't use your property when you want or that you have to pay a commission for rentals you arrange. We do not require an exclusive listing. We will try to rent your property when you are not using it. If you find a renter on your own, no commission is payable to Great Spots!
In short, we take the effort out of renting your property. All you need to do is provide us with a description and photographs of your property and to arrange for cleaning of your property between rentals.

| Even though my beach house was posted late in the booking season, Great Spots managed to fill it almost every week. Heather works hard at keeping both landlords and renters happy, which is what makes the system work. She inspires trust and confidence to all, loves what she does, and is very good at it. |
