I have had an ad for 4 years with Vacationrentals which has
produced excellent results and bookings for my property
in the south florida market |
|
We've been very pleased with Vacationrentals --it's been our
best performer during the short time we've been renting.
We just bought and started renting our vacation home in
Sept. 2005. As of October 13, 2005, we've received 11
inquiries and 3 bookings (each for a full week). And,
that was just during the free trial...we've already
signed up for the year. btw, our home is located in
Maine, performance may vary by region. |
| I have had more inquiries and rentals from
Vacationrentals
than any of the others I have advertised on. |
| Vacationrentals has quickly become an
important site for my properties in Georgetown, Maine;
Oceanside, California; and Palm Desert, California.
Vacationrentals
are the second largest paid advertising source in my
portfolio as far as bookings go! An excellent value for
the vacation rental owner. |
My husband & I started out on Vacationrentals
in January 2004. Between vacationrentals & VRBO
& one rental from findrentals.com free trial, we rented
most of the summer. We added our second cottage in
2005. Have had only one renter from our second ad and
the inquiries and renters from our first ad dropped way
back. Only one this summer from our first ad. I let
the second ad go, & was told I had 2 inquiries for which
I had to pay to get the info. I would not as it has
turned unprofitable. I plan to let the first ad go also
if things don't change. I found as my price went up,
(we started very low) the inquiries dropped. I also
found the quality of renter was often not so good and
frequently they were looking for the lowest price. Had
one low price seeker get verbally abusive with me over
the phone. I am having much better success with VRBO,
Perfect Places & vacation Home Rentals. Not good on
Cyberrentals, new to me this year, only one rental for
Memorial weekend & a few other inquiries that for one
reason or other weren't good. Findrentals has given me
a couple of good repeat customers, but seem to have
dried up. Hope Cyberrentals pans out as my fellow
Washingtonians say it's been good for them. (Owner in

Vacationrentals was my first paid site and I
set it up myself. Super easy. Very intuitive. Much
better response than the 3 free sites I took the time to
enter. I have an agent having a slow summer using
vrbo and cyberrentals so I wanted to see how
I would do. He only rented 2 weeks and that was to a
business associate. I rented 5 weeks by using marketing
ideas and saw immediate results. I like the
Vacationrentals site. Complaint. The page must be
refreshed on my computer to see changes I've made to the
ads even if they are reloaded and I do not think that is
normal. I need to let Vacationrentals know but
other than that no complaints.

Vacationrentals.com is a poorly designed site
that is in dire need of a "facelift." However despite
that this site is a magnet for renters. It does well in
google rankings and I have booked 5 weeks already this
year. You can view your metrics, and note that for
Florida you pay a slightly higher annual fee. (Owner in
