Find the perfect place to stay
 

Find the place that’s perfect for you by entering the destination on the AlwaysOnVacation Home Page (or modify your search on the search results page). You can optionally enter your travel dates as well.

You can stay in a private rental or stay in one or more rooms in an owner-hosted rental (when the owner is present). Check out your options!

2 Review Properties
Compare properties, contact owners, or book a property from the search results page

You can select multiple properties by clicking the ticks on the photos, as you can see in this image:

Then, you can either click Compare to compare the properties you are most interested in, or click Contact Owners to send questions to property owners about availability or amenities.

Or, if you've found a property you love, you can click Book it Now to book the property without waiting!

If you want to review more details about a property, click anywhere on the panel. It takes you to the property page, where you can see photos, rates, amenities, availability and a map of where the property is located.

3 Book it!
Make your reservation

There are two ways to book your holiday rental:

a. If you see this button, book your property online:

If a property has the blue “Book It Now!” button on the property page, book the rental! The property owner will confirm your booking within 24 hours of your submitting a booking request.

b. Otherwise, message a few property owners using the “Contact the Owner” enquiry form:

If a property page does not have a blue "Book It Now!" button on it, then fill out the “Contact the Owner” form and submit a booking request directly to the property owner. Contact a few property owners this way until you find a property you would like to book. When you find a property you would like to book, reserve the property and arrange for payment directly with the property owner. Then be sure to register your reservation with AlwaysOnVacation to qualify for our £700 in Direct Payment Traveller Protection at no extra cost.

Either way - be safe in the knowledge that you are Always Protected!
