Similar to platforms that let you save on last-minute hotel deals, like HotelTonight, Whimstay lets you save on last-minute Airbnb and VRBO bookings. Hosts who haven’t filled up their calendars can list their Airbnbs and VRBOs on the site for slashed rates.
You can save up to 60% on rentals, although normal savings are around 15-20%. The closer to the booking date, the heftier the savings. The best deals are usually on weekdays, too.
In short, Whimstay is a great solution to finding more affordable Airbnbs and VRBOs. If you love a good private rental but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg planning a last-minute spring break escape, you can shop around for Whimstay’s latest deals.
How to book a spring break rental deal on Whimstay
Head to Whimstay’s Spring Break Travel Deals page, which has a long list of limited-time offers for the spring break period. You can explore deals in the United States, along with popular spots like Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Uniquely, they also have a mountain spring break vacation section with offers in Pigeon Forge, Park City, and Breckenridge.
If you scroll down, you can also shop for deals based on which week you’ll be traveling. Whimstay still has deals live for the weeks of March 14-21, March 21-28, March 28-April 4, April 4-11, and April 11-18.
Below that, they also have recommendations based on price. Anyone on a budget can easily check out offers that cost less than $1,000 for a full week. All taxes and fees are listed up front, too, so you won’t be hit with added costs later on.
Here are a few deals I’d book if I were booking a spring break trip this year:
- Apartment in Playa del Carmen (Mexico)
- Large private home in Port Aransas with a game room (Texas)
- Condo in Honolulu (Hawaii)
