About the service

VacationRentalsGuide.com provides editorial travel content — destination guides, vacation rental guides, itineraries, and articles — together with community features such as reviews, comments, and guest contributions, and links to vacation rentals offered by third parties.

User accounts

• You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your credentials confidential.

User-generated content

You retain ownership of the reviews, comments, and articles you post. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and distribute that content on the site and in related promotional materials.

Contributor responsibilities

Guest contributors must submit original work, disclose any conflicts of interest (such as stays provided by a property), and ensure factual accuracy to the best of their ability. Submissions are reviewed by our editors and may be edited, held, or declined.

Prohibited content and conduct

• Spam, advertising, or self-promotion outside designated features.
• Harassing, defamatory, hateful, or otherwise objectionable content.
• Fake, incentivized, or misleading reviews.
• Content that infringes intellectual property rights or privacy.
• Attempts to scrape the site, disrupt the service, or access accounts that are not yours.

Intellectual property

The site's editorial content, design, and branding are protected by copyright and other laws. You may share links and quote brief excerpts with attribution, but you may not republish substantial portions without permission.

External links and vacation rental listings

Rental listings and some other links lead to third-party websites. We do not own, manage, or control those properties or sites, and we are not a party to any booking or transaction you make with them. Their terms, prices, availability, and policies are solely their responsibility.

No guarantee of availability or accuracy

Travel information changes constantly. Prices, availability, opening times, and rental details shown on the site may be outdated or inaccurate. Always verify important details directly with the property or provider before booking or traveling.

Account suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts and remove content at our discretion, particularly for violations of these terms, abusive behavior, or risks to other users. You may close your account at any time from your account settings or by contacting us.

Disclaimers

The site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Travel involves inherent risks; you are responsible for your own decisions and safety.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, nor for losses arising from third-party websites, rental transactions, or travel arrangements made based on information found on the site.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with its “last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
