TO BOOK A PROPERTY
Once you have selected the property that you wish to book for your holiday, simply complete the form at the bottom of the page, that your chosen property is on, and click on send enquiry. An email is automatically sent to Holiday Sun Direct or to the owner with your requested dates and any other information that you have requested. Either Holiday Sun Direct or the owner will then email or telephone you back informing you if the property is available for your requested dates (although you can look at the availability calendar of each property) and with the answers to any questions you may have asked. We will ask whether you would like to book the property. If you decide to book the property Holiday Sun Direct will send you an Invoice for a 10% deposit. This can be paid by either a debit card, or credit card on line or you can send a cheque in the post. Once your payment has cleared, Holiday Sun Direct will then put you in touch with the property owner to complete the booking with you.
If you hear back from Holiday Sun Direct and not the owner, this is because the owner or agent has chosen to advertise their property free of charge with us. If you decide to book the property, we then take 10% from the owner. If you hear back from the owner directly, then the owner has paid for their advert on the site and Holiday Sun Direct do not take any commission. You only pay Holiday Sun Direct a 10% deposit which is non refundable, if we are acting as a mediator for the owner or their agent and the owner or agent is not a paying advertiser. If the owner is a paying advertiser they will tell you all of the details directly. Holiday Sun Direct will send you an invoice by email. This can be paid via PayPal by Debit or Credit card or you can send a cheque in the post. The balance of your payment together with any extras such as airport transfers will be made to the owner; agent direct unless either they or yourself wish to complete the full transaction with Holiday Sun Direct who will then forward the payment on on your behalf.
Holiday Sun Direct shows you full details and photos of actual individual properties where you can spend your holiday. These properties are all privately owned and are advertised on Holiday Sun Direct by the owners themselves or their agent.
Holiday Sun Direct has not visited all properties and work on trust from the owners just the same as other holiday rental websites do. We therefore work with a disclaimer. Properties that have been visited by holidaysundirect have been given a smiley rating from one to five.  Holidaysundirect.com gives you full details and photos of actual individual properties where you can spend your holidays - not just examples of holiday homes in a given area. At the bottom of every page of advertising there is an enquiry form for you to complete if you are interested in renting that property to contact the owner of the property, or Holidaysundirect.com You will find a good selection of places to stay for your holiday on Holidaysundirect.com - from wonderful villas, to delightful little cottages, modern beachfront apartments, condominiums, inns and some bed and breakfast accommodation Sometimes there will be catering - for example there are a few Bed and Breakfasts and some small hotels. And the properties are in many countries - mostly Europe, but also the USA and Caribbean. They are mostly loved private homes, carefully furnished and fully equipped by their owners, with every convenience to make them a perfect "home from home" for you to rent for you next holiday. We think the best things about a Holiday Sun Direct holiday is that they are - value for money, independent, and being able to be one of the locals and not only a tourist. The pleasure of staying in accommodation from Holiday Sun Direct is the freedom it gives you - to eat when you like, not when the hotel says so. Dress how you like, do what you like, when you like. This type of holiday is perfect for families, and especially enjoyable for people who travel on business and get fed up with being in hotel rooms all the time, you can chose to stay in a real home of your choice.
What time of year should I go?
While it is always good to go on holiday in July and August, there are many benefits to going off-season, especially in Spring and Autumn. The weather is good, but not too hot, the roads and facilities less crowded, and the costs of your accommodation and travel is less. Similarly, avoid Christmas, New Year, School half term and Easter when prices can be more expensive for both the accommodation and flights.
Before you leave home
Make sure you have directions to the property and that you have clear instructions on arrival and who is going to let you in. And make sure you have the name and telephone number of someone on the spot that you can contact should you need to. Some owners send you a key in advance, some actually live on site and will meet you, and some arrange for someone to meet you at the property. What if there is a problem during my holiday?If you have a problem, do get in touch straight away with the person whose details you have been given; they will sort things out for you. It is not worth suffering in silence, then complaining that you had a bad holiday. Now just relax and enjoy your holiday! Don't forget you are staying in someone's home - so please treat it with respect. Please note; as acting mediators we have not necessarily seen all of the properties that are advertised on our site.
