Whether you're booking a mountain house in Aspen or a waterfront property on the islands of Santorini, Greece, there could be a big difference in pricing if you decide to visit during off-peak season. If you book a two-week vacation rental in St. Bart’s in October, for example, it could be $300 less than the cost of a one-week stay in January.
