Home And Condo Rentals

As one of the world’s most developed mountain resorts, Whistler boasts an incredible array of accommodation options. From hotels and bed and breakfasts to condos, town homes, and chalets; visitors are offered a variety of Whistler accommodation choices to suit their personal preference, style or budget.

This article focuses on the benefits of booking Whistler accommodation direct from homeowners: competitive rates, ample private amenities, more space and dedicated, knowledgeable and personalized customer service.

Whistler Accommodation Rates Slimmed Down

Most Whistler homeowners manage their property rentals themselves. When booking accommodation directly through a Whistler owner, middle agent fees and sometimes even taxes are eliminated. This gives you a better accommodation rate than booking with hotels or rental management companies that are obliged to charge a 10% hotel tax. When booking through a rental management company, keep in mind that anywhere from 15 – 50% of what you’re paying accounts for commission fees. Book directly with a property owner and get a commission-free rate.

Ample Amenities and Accommodation Extras

When you book Whistler accommodation direct from a homeowner you’re getting the benefit of the comforts of home. The property owner likely stays in the accommodation quite often and will outfit it with nifty kitchen tools and appliances, board games or other extras you won’t get in a cookie-cutter hotel room or managed property. Oftentimes, the homeowner has even updated or renovated the property to standards above what you’d expect at a hotel including their favourite artwork and decorative touches. Rental homes or condos are also much larger than hotel-style accommodation and can often sleep extra people at no additional cost. Private hot tubs are also a fixture at many larger owner-direct rental properties in Whistler.

Service that Goes Above and Beyond

Booking accommodation direct from a Whistler owner means you receive excellent and personable service from someone who has only one guest to look after at a time. This means that they are able to answer many of your questions in great detail and provide tips and advice to help you enjoy your holiday to the fullest. This is an extremely important task for owners as their rental business depends on a positive guest experience.

Money-Saving Accommodation Features

Finally, booking your Whistler accommodation direct from owners is an excellent way to stretch your dollar. Save money on eating out and cook your own meals in a fully-equipped kitchen. Many properties will also come with private laundry facilities saving you money on laundry fees. A larger property with more common area space also makes it easier and enjoyable to spend a night in with friends rather than blowing the bank at restaurants or nightclubs. Folks with less energy after a day on the hill can often enjoy a movie or a good read from the owner’s library.
