1. When and how can I advertise for multiple rental units?
If you have a vacation property that consists of more than one rental unit, you can describe up to 5 units in detail.

This type of advertising is relevant to those who have for example 3 apartments in the same house, 2 houses on the same piece of land or 4 bungalows in a holiday camp. It is important that all the units lie on the same piece of land as the description of the vacation property, the location map and all other town specific details are valid for all units.

The following details can be indicated separately:
  • name and description
  • furnishing details
  • rental rates
  • availability
The price per extra unit is 59,50 EUR incl. VAT. The price per month per additional rental unit ordered during the advertising period is 4,96 EUR incl. VAT.
2. How will the multiple rental unit listing be displayed in the index?
Each rental unit will appear separately in the search list and will also be found separately according to its furnishings, rental rates and availability. The mini picture for your listing will be the same for all units in that property. Here it is best to choose a picture that shows all the rental units. In the search list the price and occupancy will be shown for each specific unit.

An example of a multiple rental unit can be seen by looking at "Faust apartments" . Click here to see how a vacation property with multiple rental units will be displayed in the search list .
 
3. How do I change my listing to a multiple rental unit property?
There are 3 easy steps to create a multiple rental unit property.
  1. Decide which rental units you would like to advertise.
  2. Draft the text descriptions offline in a word program (e.g. Word).
  3. Enter the details for the separate units online.

Step 1 of 3: Decide which units you wish to describe in detail.

You can describe up to 5 rental units in detail within one property listing.

Choosing the units is not always easy. For example, advertisers that have 3 flats for 4, 5 and 6 people can advertise three separate units or add a fourth to describe the property for 15 people. Choose whatever is the best option for you. You can always delete or archive a unit, which we will explain in detail later..

Step 2 of 3: Draft the text description offline.

We recommend that you create the text for you property listing offline in a word program. Here you have the opportunity to do a word count and you also save on Internet charges. You need to fill in the following text fields:

  • Name of property (max. 30 characters incl. spaces)
    Enter the name of the whole vacation property here.
  • Short description of the property (max. 80 characters incl. spaces)
    The short description for multiple rental units should include information that applies to all the rentable units.
  • Full description of the property (max. 1000 characters incl. spaces)
    This text appears underneath the pictures of your property. Please describe the most important amenities and facilities of your property in your own words.
  • Picture caption (max. 50 characters incl. spaces)
    It is important that it is clear for the observer which unit is shown.
  • Name of the unit (max. 30 characters incl. spaces)
    Enter the individual names of each unit (e.g. "Holiday home Seaview")
  • Description of the unit (max. 1000 characters incl. spaces)
    Here you can enter unit specific text for each individual unit.
  • Notes for the accommodations and the furnishings
    This information can vary for each unit.
  • Notes to the rental rates
    This information can vary for each unit.
  • Further details
    The text that you enter here should refer to the property as a whole.

As long as a unit has not been online you can delete or archive it at any time.
If you have entered the details of a unit it appears in the drop down menu of units as "pending". The order will only go online once we have received the full payment.

You do not wish the unit to go online? Then you have two options:

1. Delete - Highlight the unit form the drop down menu and click "delete this unit". The details for the selected unit will be permanently deleted. We cannot bring the information back once deleted.

2. Archive - Highlight the unit and click "archive unit". The name of the unit appears in the drop down menu with "(archived)" after the name. This unit is no longer seen in the preview of your brochure.

To retrieve the archived details, highlight the unit and click "un-archive unit". The unit will then be shown as pending and appear in the preview.

Online listed units cannot be deleted. You must send us an email at service@vacationvillas.net and request for your unit to be downloaded. We do not give a refund for any remaining period.
Any unit downloaded by us will appear in your listing as "pending".

We hope that all your questions about multiple rental units have been answered. If you have any further questions then please send an e-mail to Customer Services at service@vacationvillas.net
