What's happening? Do you think there is any truth to this theory?

Many people book their rentals a year in advance, while here for the season, and they continue with the same property/landlord.
Also, many people choose a place by looking at photos and all details in
online vacation rental sites. Being able to see how the place looks inside is crucial. In fact, I'd
never rent without seeing it in person or in photos, because some are sparsely or cheaply furnished if new, and many are badly in need of updating and tasteful furniture, window treatments and accessories.
People around us having rentals have no problem renting theirs out and are already booked for 2014.
