It's never too late for a last minute break
With clashing work schedules and busy lifestyles it is often easy to leave your holiday booking to the last minute. Pure Holiday Homes provides a fast and simple solution to finding your perfect holiday rental anytime throughout the year. Not only can you get great discounts, but you can discover a new place, if the location you were looking for is no longer available.
Pure Holiday Homes has seen a certain shift in monthly booking trends. April and May is traditionally busy, but has been eclipsed by those wanting to wait to book their summer rentals, seeing enquiries increase by 84% in June, compared to May. Pure Holiday Homes provides hundreds of late booking deals on the website pureholidayhomes.com, such as properties in Cornwall with a 25% discount and villas in Tobago offering 23% off.
You may think that booking late will leave you with the least popular options, but you can find you choose a place which is just a desirable if not more than the typical holiday locations, such as Spain and Barbados. A great tip for late bookings is to research. If a four bedroom villa in Tuscany is your dream holiday and you have left it to the last minute, the surrounding regions of Umbria and Abruzzo may not be as popular but the scenery and food are equally as good and will not disappoint. Pure Holiday Homes provides villas such as the beautifully restored Umbrian castle, which sleeps up to 4, with weekly rates starting from £600.
Another tip is to compromise. If you don’t manage to find your desired two week break, then you could spread your holiday experience by booking a week in the summer at the stunning holiday condo in the Yucatan-Mayan Riviera, Mexico, from $200.00 per night. Followed by a week in October half term, in the water front apartment on Eden Island, in the Seychelles, sleeping 4 people with weekly prices from £1,497. This way you will be able to soak up some summer sunshine but still have somewhere new to explore in the autumn.
Finally, Pure Holiday Homes advises 'don't hesitate'. By booking through Pure Holiday Homes you can save the 20% or standard agency commissions, by dealing directly with the property owner. Although it is always good to look for the best price, the late booking market is highly competitive this year, so don’t negotiate yourself out of a holiday.
The Joint CEO, Sean Collins from Pure Holidays Homes expresses, “with many holiday makers leaving holiday bookings to the last minute, we can provide those people with quick and discounted properties within the UK and abroad. 82% of enquiries to Pure Holiday Homes that have occurred during June are for holidays before the end of the summer holiday, rather than for early bookings for ski resorts. So as late bookings become more and more common, Pure Holiday Homes can provide customers with a greater opportunity for negotiation and assessing the enquiries going through to the owners.”
