The internet is a wonderful thing. With just a few taps of the keys you can find almost anything you want. The internet allows us to share with you all the best information and vacation rentals on Topsail Island. However, not all websites or vacation rental companies are the same. Did you know there is a huge difference between the services we offer at Coastline Realty Vacations and what companies like VRBO and Airbnb offer? This week we share with you all the reasons that we offer best deals and customer service on Topsail Island.

Things They Don't Want You to Know

1. They charge a premium above and beyond the actual cost of your vacation rental contract. This charge can represent up to 15% above what you would pay booking directly with Coastline Realty Vacations.

2. Third party agents don't have local offices. When you book a vacation using an online agent, you'll probably never know where or who your contact person is. In the case of an emergency, lockout, or maintenance request, good luck finding them here on Topsail Island. 

3.They control what inventory you see. When you book through a third-party agent you only see the options they want you to see. In fact, it is common practice for them to manipulate the inventory that you can see. 

4.Third party booking agents sell your name and contact information. You guessed it- this means more junk mail, phone calls, and emails. 

5.When you book online through a third-party agency, Coastline Realty Vacations has no idea who you are. Depending on the third-party booking agent, we may not be given any of your information. In some cases, we are even precluded from contacting or assisting you. This is true even though you're in a Coastline Realty Vacations managed property.
