BEWARE!! Check your dates

I’m searching for a short term rental for 32-36 days in Arizona. The map is giving me listing prices for one week. If I had been naïve, I would’ve been out a lot of money. Generally, you should always check your dates when booking Rentals. Also, in Arizona if you book a rental for 30 days or more, you should get the monthly rental tax rate (about 1.5-3.5% or nill) and not the hotel tax rate (about 13.5%+) for most if not all circumstances. I don’t know about other states. AirBnB calculates this correctly. I don’t know about other sites yet. I know that some of them won’t even let you book for more than 30 days. SMH.

Crazy Deals

I found some pretty amazing last minute deals. I got a monthly rental and everything went smooth.

Charged $500 extra fees days later after booking

This review is subject to change based upon how customer service handles my situation, but I’m very frustrated. No matter what quantity of guests you check out for, the price does not change. I booked a place that can sleep 12 but I checked out for 6 people knowing numbers were uncertain yet (trip is in August, and yes I checked if the price would change before doing so).

I got an email from the property saying that additional guests beyond 6 would be $75 each. Excuse me? If I booked it for 12 people at the same price, would you still have told me that? To me, it seems like a cash grab and I don’t like it. Either that, or they charge additional fees AFTER you check out, get your confirmation emails, etc. Either way, very maddening.

Better Than Airbnb

Just booked a stay in North Georgia Mountains and saved a couple hundred dollars compared to Airbnb options. Airbnb is getting ridiculous with all the high fees. I will always check Whimstay first going forward.

The app offers an amazing selection of professionally managed properties, with incredible deals that you just can't find on other platforms.

One of the things that sets Whimstay apart is their exceptional customer service. I had a question about a property I was interested in, and their support team was prompt, friendly, and extremely helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic experience.

My recent stay at a Whimstay property was nothing short of amazing. The property was spotless, well-maintained, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, making my trip even more stress-free.
