What is National Book Direct Day?
National Book Direct Day is an annual event held during the first week of February to inspire travelers to book vacation rentals directly with property managers or homeowners instead of relying on third-party platforms. This special industry occasion focuses on raising awareness about the advantages of direct bookings for travelers. Celebrate with us this year on February 5th, 2025, and plan your dream getaway to St. Simons Island!
Know Your Options
There are so many options when it comes to booking a vacation rental but how do you know which one is right for you?
Booking direct will always get you the best deal. Although we do list our properties on many great sites like HomeAway, VRBO, Booking.com, Airbnb, and many, many more which are great and convenient sites for travelers they won’t always provide you with the best price. When you book directly on Hodnett Cooper, we can offer you the best price guaranteed. Discover more key benefits of booking directly with us.
Personalized Vacation Experience
When booking a St. Simons Island VRBO you only know what the pictures show you, you may not always get to see all the important details like: are there extra pillows, how thick is the comforter, is there a ceiling fan, what type of kitchen supplies are there. These are all important details especially when traveling with many guests, when you call one of our friendly vacation rental staff they can help by telling you all the amenities and features you can expect upon arrival.
Direct Communication with Staff
Upon arrival and even before arrival we are here to help! Whether you lock yourself (it happens) out or want a great restaurant suggestion we can help you. Our property management staff are all local to the St. Simons Island area and know and wealth of knowledge about the best things to do to make your trip unforgettable!
Flexibility
When booking on a third-party site, your options are limited upon arrival if you are dissatisfied, as well as for early/late check-in/checkout. Since we have a full staff and over 300 properties when booking direct we are more easily able to accommodate requests that may arise.
Price, Price, Price!
If all the reasons above are not enough, consider this. On average you will pay anywhere from 4-15% more just to book your St. Simons vacation on VRBO or other 3rd party sites. 15% could be a whole extra night stay when booking direct! Or travel money to get to and from St. Simons Island.

Right now, in fact we are running a special on our April inventory. When booking on our website you will be able to enter a promotion code prior to checking out which allows you to save 30% on your April vacation. Because it cost money to participate in booking sites we are not able to provide the same discounts.
Aside from price you will always expect a better customer service experience when you are working directly with us to ensure you have the best vacation possible. Our vacation rental planners are at your disposal when you need restaurant suggestions or want to know the best place to take your kids for a fun family friendly day.
Booking direct also gives you more flexibility in your booking. Whether you will arrive a few minutes early or decide you want to shift your stay dates it is much easier to accommodate a guest who we are working directly with. When involving a third party it becomes difficult to navigate the double layer of policies and procedures to accommodate even the slightest request.
Whether you book direct or through a third-party site we are happy to be able to provide our guest with a great vacation on St Simons Island and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
