Why Booking Direct in Gulf Shores Saves You Money

Skip the fees! Discover why booking direct with StayC2C saves you hundreds compared to Airbnb or Vrbo — and gives you a better vacation experience in Gulf Shores.
The Truth About “Service Fees”
When you book through big travel sites like Airbnb or Vrbo, you’re often paying 10–20 percent more in hidden “service” and “guest” fees. These charges go straight to the booking site — not the property owner, and certainly not to improving your stay.
Booking direct through StayC2C.com
eliminates those middleman fees, giving you the exact same property, but at a lower total price.
More Value, Local Support
When you book direct, you get more than savings. You get personalized local support from real people who live and work in Gulf Shores.
