    Hi,

    Nice list of vacation rental sites. Renting a vacation home is a great way to help pay for it and can generate income. My blog provides useful information to anyone who would like to learn about setting up a vacation rental. Please check out the site at Trusted Getaways

    VRBO is a nice site, but it’s old and the layout makes it very difficult to search for a vacation rental. I’d check out VacationRentalDirect.com, they’ve designed a site that is super easy, fast, no ads and makes it pretty easy to search for a vacation rental online.

    What is the point of making a negative comment about a VRBO property you have stayed in, which was totally mis represented on the VRBO website, when the comment has to be approved by the owner of the property? In my case it was property 94224 in Tulum, Mexico. It was absolutely the worst case of mis representatrion I have ever seen and I have rented dozens of private homes off the internet over the years.
    You had better watch out for any property that has no comments by previous guests. All that indicates is no one said anything positive and all the negative comments are simply not allowed to be posted by the owner that obviously could care less.

    VRBO is one of the larger vacation rentals sites, but there are lots of others. You can find a list, including comparing key features from a vacation rental owner’s point of view, here :

    VRBO is by far the best site for pulling renters. Every day many new portals open up. Let’s see how they react to the changing times.

    William,

    Great point. I’m a co-founder of FlipKey which is a new community based vacation rental site that focuses on collecting authentic reviews from past guests. I agree that it is counterproductive to only publish “approved” reviews.

    At Flipkey.com we focus on creating a trusted environment for vacationers by only promoting verified properties and publishing all reviews (good or bad).
