You agree to abide by the site Rules of User Conduct, including but not limited to, agreeing not to use this site for any unlawful purpose. You should review the Rules of User Conduct regularly. Click Here to view a copy of the Rules of User Conduct.

Purpose: This web page is to assist owners with private rentals, however, we treat each individual listing as a uniquely identified property available for a vacation rental. This means you cannot use one listing to rent multiple units, and you cannot use one listing to share leads with other owners to rent unlisted units that you or others may own. All rental requests generated by this website are to be used for your unit only. Request sharing or redirection to other units or to other websites, or to brokers, rental, real estate, or travel agents, is strictly forbidden. Plain and simple, it means the same as it does for all other web-based unit advertising: one listing, one rental opportunity. Failure to comply with this rule will mean your listing will be removed from the website and you will forfeit all monies paid.

No advertising of any kind or links to any other website is permitted.  At no time will you ever have unsolicited advertising appear on your web listing. Unlike most other offers of free listings, our listing pages have a no third party advertising.

Every listing will have a unique web address that can be used in advertising or on business cards. If you advertise availability in the newspaper, you can use your web address to showcase your unit (example: see our rental unit on the web at WWW.ANIGHTAWAY.COM/A4320).

All reservation requests will be sent to you on a request form that is spam secure. It contains all the pertinent information needed for your rental. The form will be sent directly to the e-mail address you designate when you join our website.

Descriptions of your unit and amenities must be accurate and true. Listings can contain information and descriptions of your unit only. If you own more than one unit, each must have its own listing. However, if you have more than one unit listed, the Property Wizard will automatically add a link to each unit you own, in the Rental Information area, on each respective listing page.

All listings must contain a current list of available rental dates and rates. These lists must be kept up-to-date. Failure to keep the Availability Calendar and rental rates updated will result in the removal of your listing and forfeiture of all monies paid. Failure to keep the Availability Calendar updated because of attempts at double booking or booking for other units, whether owned/managed by you or others, listed on this website or not, will result in the removal of all of your listings on this website and forfeiture of all monies paid.

The building of mailing lists from e-mails generated by this website for the purpose of mass mailings (spam) is not permitted. E-mailing former customers is not a concern. Mass mailing, spamming, is a source of complaints from people visiting rental sites.

All listings are entered on the listings page in the order that they were accepted and approved by the Webmaster. Listing position cannot be improved by buying, selling, or reassigning a different unit to your listing. However, if a unit is sold, that unit listing position can be assumed by the new owner if the old owner chooses to transfer it to the new owner. The old owner has the option of retaining the use of that listing position if the old owner decides to purchase another unit.

The Webmaster reserves the right to refuse any listing submitted to be entered on the aNightAway.com website. We can refuse to publish the listing for any or no reason, and you specifically agree to hold us harmless for any loss or liability that may arise from such a decision.

If any of the terms and conditions of the unit listing are breached, or there are any listing misrepresentations of a unit, or a property is double-booked for multiple renters on the same date, or if owner/agent engages in any business practice that would be considered within the vacation rental industry to be unfair, the Webmaster reserves the right to remove the offending listing. If a listing is removed, there will be no refund of monies paid. In no event shall the Webmaster be liable to the owner/agent for any special, consequential, incidental, or indirect damages, including lost profits, for any reason.

Building Your Webpage:

All new listings must fill out the new unit form found on the PreRegister page.  When the form is submitted, Websites will send the owner a UserID and Password to logon to the Property Wizard and setup their unit information.  The Property Wizard is easy to use and self explanatory.  It has Help pages to guide you if needed. In addition there is a View Condo Page to display your changes.   If you want Websites to do the entire setup for you, however, there is a small charge in addition to the initial setup fee.  Owners must maintain the Availability Calendar themselves. If owners want Websites to do additional maintenance or all maintenance after initial setup and the website is on-line, there are monthly and yearly maintenance agreements available.

Owners MUST update their Availability Calendar immediately whenever they commit to a rental whether that rental was generated from our website or from any other source.  That way our available unit search engine will always only display available units.  It will eliminate the unnecessary calls and e-mails that owners get and the frustration that renters have trying to find available units to rent.  This system also makes it much easier for owners to fill out those open weeks and late cancellations.  If you feel you cannot fulfill this MAJOR requirement of updating the Availability Calendar, please DO NOT JOIN US.

Each year when the new Availability Calendar is released for the upcoming year, all the dates for the new year are by default set to unavailable.   You are required to set the rates and dates for the new year to what you want in order for them to display in the Rates Table, Availability Calendar and be found by the search engine. Unit listings that do not have their dates and rates set for the new year after January 1st can be removed from the listings page, even if their dues for the new year have been paid.

Basically the only thing the Property Wizard will not let you update is the photo list.  All photos must be sent to us to be entered on your unit listing.  Each photo can be titled and you can have a maximum of eight photos.  All photos must be digital and in .jpg format.  DO NOT sent us photos in photo catalogs/albums, part of a Word.doc or ask us to go to another website to collect them.  Simply attach the photos to an e-mail and send them to us. We will make all corrections to your photos, including resizing, thumbnails and limited retouching.  When taking photos of your unit, be sure to turn off the time/date feature of your camera.  Nothing looks worse on a listing than an old photo.  Your pictures may be perfect for your unit and you may want to use them for an extended length of time.  Date stamps also distract from the focal point of the photo, which is the unit itself.  You will be allowed to add photos at any time to bring your total to eight.  During the membership year you will be allowed to make up to eight photo swaps.  There will be a $5 charge for each photo swap after you reach your limit of 8 swaps. Any photographs containing advertising, proprietary/copywrited photos or photos containing watermarks from other websites are not permitted. We reserve the right to refuse photographs. Send all photos to Support@ANightAway.com.

The Unit Description and Additional Information area are limited in size.  Should you exceed the size of these areas, an additional area on another page will be created for the remainder of the text that you have to enter.  If you have information that is not described in one of our preformatted areas you should include that information in your description area.  The Addition Information area is usually used for information on deposits and rental requirements.  

Things to Remember:

  • Your will receive a free support to help you become accustom to the Property Wizard and Wizard updates.
  • You will be permitted to make eight  free photos swaps during the membership year.  There  will be a $5.00 charge for each photo swap after the first eight.
  • Websites can do maintenance for you at a minimal charge. Maintenance packages are also available.

Send all unit photos to Support@ANightAway.com
Be sure to include your unit ID number with all updates.
