Why Rental Management Companies over VRBO?

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Ok, so we have a humble prejudice as to why one should reserve a vacation from a rental management company rather than selecting a “vacation rental by owner”. This is our business and what we do for a living; we are professionals! The first rule of vacation is- if something can go wrong, it will. Whether it be travel, stay or experience, vacationing puts us out of our normal daily environment. Isn’t it nice to know someone (the rental management company) has your back?

We can’t tell you the number of times we have heard guests arrive to Winter Park without the basics from the individual they have rented from: like precise directions to the home they have rented, accurate lock box combinations for keys, plumbing and heating issues, lack of snow removal issues, the list goes on. Of course there are plenty of individuals who do a wonderful job of renting and communicating to their guest and we offer them a round of applause. There is nothing more damaging to our reputation as a destination- Winter Park- than to have bad experiences with the vacation rental process.

But the question is why go through the risk of not knowing what you are up against? With Beaver Village Condominiums-THMC staff you have a reservation team to assist with the nuances of the condo you want. Our front desk is here to assist you with questions and activity suggestions. What better resource to find a great place to eat out than those of us who live here? If something goes wrong, we are accessible 24/7 to help fix it. We are here for you! A guest recently sent us a letter of thanks when one of our staff members personally drove him to a local car rental agency so he and his buddy could take a day trip over the mountain. Another sent us a letter for helping us get her and her child, who had a cold, to the store for medicine and crackers! Point is, with a rental management team, you have real people here to help you make the most of your vacation. We enjoy our jobs and welcome the opportunity to become vacation partners!

An additional advantage is that rental management can offer you great deals on lodging, activities and return visits. BVC-THMC is value priced and affordable. Take out the hassle of doing it all yourself, you do enough already! Let us put together a vacation package for you and give you the sense of comfort and security in knowing “we got your back”!

Thanks for the snow, thanks for the season!

Well our last weekend that the ski season was open at Winter Park, April 19, went out like a whiteout! We had over 3 feet of snow on Friday and Saturday that proved an epic powder experience. You could even call Saturday “local’s day” because I-70 was closed until the afternoon hours! C-lot still proved to be the place to “party-on” and ski crazed fans lined the parking lot with campers, barbeque grills and kegs despite the knee deep white stuff. Hands down, we say Winter Park is the best place to hang it up for the season. We are already planning on opening day for next season November 18 and praying to the snow gods for bountiful snow storms!

It’s bright and sunny here now and we thrill at the site of the melting snow because it means mountain biking, music festivals, river rafting and all the summer good stuff is close around the corner! Can’t wait to get on the river!!

Spring Splash at Winter Park Resort April 18 & 19

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

The end of the 08/09 ski season is coming to a close in Winter Park on the weekend of April 18 & 19. However, we like to go out with a “splash”! Winter Park hosts music on Saturday by Slopeside and on Sunday by Brethren Fast at the Plaza. There will be retail sales specials, food and drink specials and slopeside tips and clinics throughout the weekend. Most fun of all will be the big Splash race and obstacle course on lower Larry Sales starting at noon on Sunday. Check out the zany costumes and totally wired skiers and snowboarders who participate and think jumping across a pond of water in gear is fun! Sometimes they make it, most times they don’t! The theme for this Splash is “roll back to the 80’s”. We remember the 80’s don’t we? Big hair, leg warmers, flash dance.. you get the picture, bring it on!

Events are sponsored by Coca-Cola and Snickers.

Stay at Beaver Village Condos with value pricing and great amenities including a complimentary shuttle that will take you back and forth from the Ski Resort! Our last ski season deal of the season is BOGO50% – Buy one night lodging get the second night of lodging at half price! Call for details at 800-824-8438. We are almost sold out so call now!
