Regarding your question: "Anyone know anywhere as competitive as VRBO for inquiries? I'm desperate to find another website like this but nothing so far. Any advice? If I could figure out how to start a new thread I would, how do I do that?"

Two words: Cyber Rentals. I have had a great deal of business through them. Highly recommend

Jm, Vacationrentals.com is also owned by HA.

I've had very good results in the past 2 weeks with Flipkey.com ( much better than the same time period from VRBO). I also advertise on Vacationarentals411.com in their 'free" category and have  had a few bookings from them over the past few years- not great, but it's free.

I suggest you search your area on any site to see what is there. I think some sites have better traffic than others, depending on the area. Maybe some sites advertise regionally- not sure.

God luck! Hope you have a great season!

Anyone know any other free websites? Trying to stretch my adverisement without stretching my buck. Looking into vacationrentals411.com now. Thanks for sharing msdebj.

kkoolz, although I agree that the best results come from paid websites, I think it would be wrong to discourage someone frome expanding their vacation rental advertising on free websites. It's a great tactic to invest in websites with proven records, but you just never know when those free sites are going to give you a booking! If each gives you just one booking a year, you can see what 10 websites can do. I would personally suggest advertising as many places as possible if there is no price....

www.vacationhomerentals.com offers a free trial. If you just google the words "free trial vacation rental" (or something similar) You should see some of these websites pop up!

Wasn't there a rumor that home away were going to have a money back guarantee? Or am I dreaming a bit too much?

What about VRBO?
