Refer a Vacation Rental Owner and Earn Free Listing Time

Spread the Word and Earn Free Listing Time

Chances are, you first heard about WeNeedaVacation.com through someone local—a friend, neighbor, cleaner, plumber, or a Cape and Islands business. Word of mouth has always been the lifeblood of our community, and it helps us keep a strong, diverse inventory of vacation rental homes across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket.

If you know another homeowner who rents (or is thinking about renting) their home, our Refer-a-Friend program makes it easy to introduce them—and rewards you with free subscription time when their new listing is activated.


How the Refer-a-Friend reward works

  • Annual listers: Earn THREE free months of subscription time
  • Six-month listers: Earn one free month of subscription time

In addition to strengthening our inventory for vacationers, referrals help us welcome new homeowners with added confidence—because we know they were introduced by one of our trusted, long-standing listers.


Who should you refer?

If you know someone who rents their home on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket—or is considering it—this program is perfect for:

  • Friends and neighbors with a second home
  • Year-round residents who rent seasonally
  • New buyers planning to offset expenses with rental income
  • Homeowners who have never listed their rental online before

How to refer a friend

Because the referral form is part of the Homeowner Center, you’ll be prompted to access it from your account:

  1. Log in to your Homeowner Center
  2. Go to Help & Info
  3. Select Refer a Friend and complete the short form

Once you submit the form, an automatic email will be sent to your friend with a personal note from you. When your friend’s new listing is activated, we’ll apply the free time to your subscription plan.

Ready to refer someone? Open the Refer-a-Friend form.


FAQ: Refer-a-Friend

How do I get credit for the referral?

Use the Refer-a-Friend form in the Homeowner Center so we can connect the referral to your account and apply the free subscription time once the new listing is activated.

When is the free time applied?

Free time is applied after your friend’s new listing is activated.

Does my friend have to list in the same town as me?

No—referrals can be anywhere on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket.
