Note from the Founder We understand the challenges involved in renting and protecting your home. Based on my early successes, I’ve gained valuable insights. Effective marketing, ensuring your home’s visibility to potential guests, and presenting it in an appealing manner through captivating photos, and well-crafted content are the key drivers of revenue generation. By implementing proper marketing strategies, we attract the right guests who are actively seeking vacation rentals. Another vital element for success is safeguarding your property. This entails maintaining high housekeeping standards, ensuring correct property maintenance, and conducting regular inspections to provide you with a peace of mind. By combining these principles, we have coined the term “ Deeply Personalized Care ” as it e encapsulates our comprehensive approach to cater to your specific needs. I have personally owned and continued to manage several vacation rentals; by engaging with us, you will discover the “ GetAway Advantage .” This approach outlines a step-by-step process followed by our dedicated GetAway team, to deliver the Deeply Personalized Care that you truly deserve. It encompasses strategies, tips, best practices for effective marketing, impeccable presentation, property protection, meticulous housekeeping, and diligent maintenance. I eagerly look forward to meeting you and building a long-term partnership based on trust and mutual success. Our story Tap into the tranquility of Vermont or the coastal charm of Maine with GetAway Vacations, a distinguished vacation rental company, borne from the love of mountain getaways and a knack for creative marketing. In 2008 , we began with a single property nestled in the idyllic mountainside of Stockbridge, Vermont. Over time, we realized that travelers were craving well-marketed, amenity-packed escapes to the serene region, igniting a journey of growth that has transformed us into the leading vacation rental company we are today. With an extensive background and marketing, our founder breathed new life into the sector, introducing exceptional photographic showcases and immersive property descriptions that captured the allure of Vermont’s stunning foliage, exhilarating ski slopes, and adventure-filled summers. Following initial success, we expanded by acquiring a condo at the base of the beloved Killington Mountain, and from there, our vision grew bolder. In 2011 , GetAway Vacations officially launched, leveraging proven marketing and management strategies to optimize rental revenue for fellow property owners. With an initial portfolio of seven properties, GetAway Vacations carved a unique path within the Vermont market, fostering a reputation for delivering personalized care and exceptional service to both owners and guests. Our continuous quest for excellence saw us achieve a significant milestone in 2021 with the acquisition of a well-established Vacation Rental Company in Southern Maine. This strategic move broadened the geographic reach and injected more diverse properties into our rental program. Today, GetAway Vacations stands proud as a reputable name and vacation rentals, continually adding new properties and serving homeowners and guests from two offices in Vermont and Maine. Our dedication to provide top-tier marketing and property management services remains unwavering. Fred Cercena Founder GetAway Vacations

GetAway Vacations has worked very hard to help us in providing the best possible experience for our guests of Kurtz Cottage. They are a hands-on kind of company that wants to make sure everything is in working ordered and adds to the stay at our cottage. We would recommend them in a heartbeat to any looking to rent their property

I have been impressed with the level of service, professionalism and care provided by the staff with the seasonal renting of my property at York Beach.
It's truly a company which not only has a local presence in the same Town as the rental, the owner Fred is also involved, easy to reach, very responsive and researches the market's rental pricing so I get the best return on my investment while clients costs are fair and reflect the surrounding area.
Should any questions or concerns come up, Elizabeth, our local rental manager is always willing to help out.
Finally, its the kind of rental agency I want to deal with: excellent staff, local presence, and not a conglomerate.
Thank You Fred, Elizabeth and the cleaning staff for the awesome support!
