Q: Why are bookings usually non-cancelable.
A:
Unlike hotels, vacation homes are valuable assets held by private parties. To allow Guests to hold dates in advance only to cancel them later, means the owner would miss out on other prospective customers in the meantime. In addition, because most homes are booked in advance last-minute replacements are not always possible. We can, however, offer to re-sell dates for a Guest who made a prior purchase. In that case, some or all of the Guest's funds may be refunded if a replacement Guest is found.
Q: How do I purchase a Travel Insurance Plan?
A:
You can purchase a Vacation Rental Insurance plan directly through your vacation rental company.
Q: Is there a deadline for checkout times?
A:
Yes - cleaning rooms, condos, homes and resorts is a big job. It can take hours to make a place spic and span. Housekeepers need to start immediately upon departure. Staying late disrupts the cleaning schedule. Sorry.
Q: When can I pay for Travel Insurance?
A:
We recommend you pay for the insurance at the time of reservation, however you can purchase Vacation Rental Insurance anytime prior to or with your final trip payment.
Q: Why should I advertise on this website?
A:
Specialization. You could get listed on the giant commercial sites which accept any and all kinds of vacation rentals and Holiday Let homes. But Guests usually know what they are looking for before they start. A mountain place, a lake front house, a home at the beach or even in the city. That is why they find us and why they value our listings a bit more and a bit more often.
Q: I've lost my logon or password. What do I do?
A:
No problem. Just go to the Login Page of our website. Look for the "Forgot your Password" link. Or you can call us during business hours.
Q: What is Plumbob Publishing?
A:
A plumbob is an old fashioned tool used by carpenters to determine straight up and down. It is a string and a weight which, when allowed to dangle free always reflects a straight line downward. Our company has chosen the word Plumbob to represent our quest to produce straight forward and accurate publications. Some of these are conventional print and other media. And some are websites in a variety of specialty industries and narrow interests. This website is just one.
