We are looking to rent a villa next year, for a large family event. Will probably need 6-7 bedrooms ..... Any recommendations? Who to deal with, location etc. Will need it for 2 weeks at the end of February 2017. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Where are you looking to rent--French? Dutch? Price range? You may actually be able to rent TWO villas for a cheaper price...

The preferred area is around terres basses. It has to be one villa due to the number of kids involved(there will be a nanny traveling to look after the rascals). Price range- no more than 10K per week, less is better. Also, does anybody have any experience hiring a chef for breakfast? Just curious what is the cost.

OK, I still think you might be cheaper with two villas, based on the number of bedrooms and the relative cost. When you're talking that number of bedrooms, the price goes up a lot..

You may want to do a search on this site: www.capcaraibes.sprimbarth.com. We have rented villas from them for years and have always been happy with the villas and the prices. They do have several with many bedrooms.

I have a house on VRBO and since they have been bought by Expedia THEY are charging a site to customers on a sliding scale of 3% to 9%. I don't know what the fee would be on a big money rental but be aware! We owners are up in arms but I don't think there is a whole lot we can do except go to another rental site.

There are two vills on the same property in Terres Base we rented the 4 bedroom La Nina and there is a 2 bedroom La pinta that are absolutely gorgeous and reasonable. I rented through www.gobeach.com and have rented through this site for 15 years and have been completly satisfied.. I don't think you could be disappointed with these two villas

anjariasonal said: Our villa sleeps 20, check it out on Vrbo.com/642114
Will give better than rates advertised on the site
Sonal Don't think advertising was allowed unless something has changed.

Normally that is true. However the poster was responding to someone requesting specifically what they provide. Check out our Terms of Use #1, which states in part "If a fellow BB member posts a question and you provide a good or service which would meet their need, it is OK for you to respond to their question soliciting your service with a brief description of your offering and contact information, provided your service is on topic and would meet their need. You must identify yourself in the note with your representative capacity concerning the product or service that you are providing. Extensive laundry lists of goods and services available will not be allowed. "

Guys thank you all very much, I am looking at your suggestions now as well as trying to negotiate a deal with the larger villa.

Facing one "small" issue : the rental agency asking for a 30% down payment and it's fine with me. But they are also asking for 30% payment in August and the remaining balance to be paid 90 days BEFORE arrival... Which is November 2016. I am kind of worry sending them all the money before actually getting there and seeing that they actually exist not only in a virtual world... With so many fraudsters around these days it makes me kind of uncomfortable. I contacted the company and offered them $5K down payment with the balance to be paid IN CASH on arrival. They replied with the following: "1- Thank you for explaining your feeling about payment. But our policy is connected to Real Estate Policy, and these are the current rules on our Territory. The payment is to be completed in full before arrival. We are renting our Property since 2009, coming to 6 years now… We received a lot of Families, Group, Conferences, Parties… weddings… Many of them ! All these people never know us before coming, and I invite you to read their Reviews on VRBO #442765." What are your thoughts about that?

The schedule they are proposing is fairly normal. If they have been on VRBO long enough they are not looking to fraud you.
i just went to sfo and had to do the same, and yes you will always be anxious on what you will get upon arrival
my two cents
