Same homes. Same hosts. Lower total.
VRBO adds ~15% in service fees. Booking direct skips them — and gets you the people who actually hold the keys.

Booking direct, answered
Is booking direct really cheaper than VRBO?
Yes. VRBO adds roughly 15% in service fees on top of the nightly rate. Our direct prices are set below the OTA total for the same dates — same home, same hosts, lower total.
Is it the same home I see on VRBO?
Yes — the exact same homes (South Ridge, Kooser and Eagles), managed by the same hosts, with the same calendars synced hourly.
What's the cancellation policy?
Full refund, self-service online, until 14 days before check-in. Inside 14 days, email hosting@blisshavens.com and we'll do our best to help.
Is payment secure?
Checkout runs on Stripe — the same payment processor used by Amazon and Shopify — with 256-bit encryption. We never see or store your card number.
Is there a minimum stay?
2 nights, with longer minimums on some holiday weeks. The calendar shows live availability and pricing for your exact dates.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes — every one of our homes is pet-friendly ($75/pet). Just tell us who's coming when you book so we can have the house ready for them.
Do I need an account to book?
No. Pick dates, enter contact info, pay — done. Your confirmation email has everything, including a self-service cancellation link.
What is the best-rate guarantee?
If you find the same home and the same dates listed for less on VRBO, email us before booking and we'll match it. Booking direct should never cost more.
