Why Book Direct?

Why Book Direct

Skip third-party fees and get simpler pricing, better value, and direct support from the people who know the home best.

Booking direct

Same home. Better value. More flexibility.

Booking directly through our website means you get the same Lucky’s Lookout you see on Airbnb and Vrbo, without paying unnecessary third-party fees.

Direct bookings typically save 15% or more compared to Airbnb and Vrbo for the same dates.

Fee comparison

What you pay, side by side

Third-party platforms add guest service fees and processing fees that increase your total at checkout. When you book direct, our cleaning fee is included in the nightly rate so pricing stays simple and transparent.

  • Nightly rate (cleaning included)
  • Taxes
  • No guest service fees

Airbnb & Vrbo

What you see is what you pay when you book direct. No surprise line items added at checkout.

Flexibility

Flexible pricing based on your stay

Booking direct allows us to be more flexible than most third-party platforms. Rates can vary based on seasonality, your dates, and the number of guests staying. Longer stays can also bring better value, especially during shoulder season.

How it helps
  • Pricing can reflect dates and seasonality
  • Rates can adjust based on number of guests
  • Longer stays may receive better value
  • Off-season and shoulder-season stays are often more affordable
How to save more

When you book direct, we have more flexibility to offer special pricing that third-party platforms don’t always allow. That can include better discounts for longer stays, last-minute bookings, off-season dates, or smaller groups, depending on availability. If you’re flexible on timing, send a request and we’ll help you find the best value for your stay.
