If you’ve read this sermon on Coastal Uruguay, forgive me, but we are getting vacation rental requests for later in the year and 2011 even. It appears our annual message has not been received. If you’re visiting in December through February, or March for that matter, reserve your rental well in advance.
In 2009, high season rentals, December through February were a done deal by August. As mentioned many times, no owner wants to rent for a few nights during any of these months. One week is the minimum and from mid December through February, one week is consider a short-term rental. Many choose not to rent for one week.
Also, some people are pressuring for discounts………not in 2009 and not this year. First of all, demand was and is strong in Piriapolis as well as Punta del Este and prices were tending up, not down. Secondly, rents are paid in US dollars; the dollar is down almost 20% from last year at this time. This creates upward pressure on rates as many owners have to convert dollars into pesos.
For those planning on a visit, I hope this helps.
