Welcome to
Alfred and Emily Glossbrenner's
FullyBookedRentals

FullyBookedRentals is a membership site for owners of second homes and investment properties who want to successfully offer their houses or condos as vacation rentals when they aren't using them.

If this is your goal, here are the facts:

1. When it comes to advertising, marketing, and managing your property, you can't wing it any more. The market has simply become too competitive.
   
2. As a result, if you want to maximize your bookings and income, you need a competitive edge.
   
3. The information, advice, guidance, and resources you'll find here at FullyBookedRentals can give you that edge.

That's because, in addition to being long-time vacation-rental owners ourselves, we are also long-time "professional explainers." We have built a decades-long career on digging into subjects and filtering out their essence for the benefit of our readers. Literally millions of people have depended upon us to tell them the truth, and we have never disappointed them.

FullyBookedRentals is completely independent, the Consumer Reports® of the vacation-rental industry, if you will. That means we'll tell you what other sites can't or won't.

Case in point: HomeAway, the leading online VR-advertising site, will never in a million years tell you how to quickly and easily create a full-blown Web site for your property (in minutes!). But we did just that in our March 2, 2009, article on the subject.

Now, of course, there's a catch, or more properly, a "cost." Like Consumer Reports, we accept no advertising and thus rely solely on annual subscriptions. A subscription to FullyBookedRentals is $49.95 a year, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

So what do you get when you subscribe? Among many other things, you get unlimited access to our ever-growing library of spot-on members-only "how-to" articles. Outstanding examples include:  

• How to Create an Amazing & Affordable VR Web Site (3/2/09)
• Promoting Your Vacation Rental for Special Events (11/9/08)
• Owners Sharing Leads: A True Local Area Network (9/4/08)
• Stop, Look, and Rethink: VRBO's New Photo Limit (4/8/08)
• Quick and Easy Craigslist Postings with Postlets (1/15/08)
• Saving Money on Luxurious Linens for Your VR (1/15/08) 

You also get unlimited access to our exclusive FullybookedRentals Vacation Rental Resources Guide. Updated regularly throughout the year, the VR Resources Guide is our personally selected and annotated list of products and services that can make your rental more successful in every way. (Many members have told us that access to this guide is worth the subscription fee all by itself.)

Resource categories include: 

• Buying a Vacation Property. The best, most authoritative books and Web sites on the subject.
• Getting Started as a Vacation Rental Owner. Our book/CD package, of course. But several worthy competitors as well.
• Advertising Your Vacation Rental Property. The best national/international sites; the best regional and specialty sites.
• Making Your Listing Stand Out from the Competition. Floor plans, slide shows, virtual tours, etc.
• Creating a Web Site for Your Vacation Rental Property. Surveying your options, our recommendations.
• Managing Your Vacation Rental Property. Accepting credit cards, booking software, trip insurance to recommend.
• Insuring Your Vacation Rental Property. If you own a second home that you rent to others, you absolutely must have adequate and appropriate insurance. Our recommendations.
• Networking With Other Vacation Rental Owners. Recommended groups, forums, blogs. 

There is much more as well.

We urge you to fully explore the site, using the navigation menus to the left of your screen. Scroll down this page for links to recently posted articles. If you like what you see, and if you're convinced that in this increasingly competitive market we can help you get more bookings and make more money from your second home, then please join us.

Membership is just $49.95 a year, and it includes not only access to the fresh material we add every month to the Member Exclusives section of the site, but also an automatic 15% discount on every item in our Online Store.

Final Note: We offer a 30-day, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee on your membership and everything you'll find in our store. So you really can't lose. If our guidance gets you just one extra booking a year (year after year), your investment will have paid for itself hundreds, if not thousands, of times over.
