Last minute discounts??

A lot of the rental agencies advertise a last minute discount. Does anybody know what is considered last minute or has had any luck negotiating a low price a few weeks before your travel date? We have had our airfaire booked for months to travel over Thanksgiving. My BF ruptured his hamstring and had surgery 5 weeks ago to reattach it to his pelvic bone. Today his surgeon gave him the green light to make the trip (with limitations like NO snorkeling :( ) and we have just started looking at villas that don't have a ton of stairs.

Do not be afraid to ask. I just got a discount on a house in April, just by asking.

I would think a few people would give some good rates, why have it empty. Sounds like SJ has a good idea for your boyfriend, It wouldn't be much fun if you couldn't be in the water.

Contact the villa owners directly.

I received 4 offers of discount from villa owners directly- I believe I contacted 5. On the villa I booked, I had contacted the owner who offered me a great discount and then put me in touch with their management agency to handle the rest.

Try our folks that we use

'Sometimes' there's a few deals here: http://usvibroker.com/usvi-condo-rentals.html
Also, the Google ads on that site sometimes have special offers.
I recently called Point Plesant and they dropped the price very quickly.

Hey jaytee, did you check out that website for floatation devices for your boy friend? You should try a dive vest and just have him use his arms, or maybe one of those float chairs with cup holders and he can float while you snorkel.
