Do you need more bookings, but don't know where to find potential renters, or how to contact them?

You probably know the Web is an essential outlet for travel planning. Nearly 60 percent of adult Web surfers have shopped for travel-related services on the Internet in the last six months, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Nielsen also reports that 75% of travelers say they plan to do at least some of their vacation research online!

The Internet has proven to be a must-have channel to more efficiently and effectively market your vacation rental property. Put your vacation rental property online, and let travelers find YOU! Include your rental on the only site dedicated to the vacation rental needs of families. Did you know that family travel is one of the fastest growing leisure travel segments? GreatFamilyRentals.com is uniquely positioned to market your property to this growing, affluent segment.

GreatFamilyRentals.com puts interested family vacationers around the globe in touch with you directly. Direct communication means no middlemen like reservation companies, or booking agents, so you save time and money. Use GreatFamilyRentals.com and you will receive serious inquiries directly from prospective renters. Then, you take it from there.
 

With the help of marketing, travel, family and Internet experts, we have created the most comprehensive, easiest to use (for owners and renters), and most attractive property listing site on the Internet! Your property won’t benefit from being on a web site that looks like it was made in someone’s basement (we’ve seen them all – perhaps you’ve seen a few). Research on Internet users has shown that an amateur appearance has a significant effect on visitor confidence and perceived credibility of the company behind the site. GreatFamilyRentals.com decided to do things differently, and has made a significant investment in a professional, attractive, and user-friendly site design. So, leave it to professionals – your reputation as an owner may depend on it!

After debuting in May 2004, GreatFamilyRentals.com has begun winning awards, and has zoomed to be one of the top 50,000 sites on the Internet! That puts us in the top one-quarter of one percent of all sites on the Internet (details). Put that ranking to work for your vacation rental!

Here are just some of the reasons to invest in your No-Risk listing today:

Listing Features:

• Your own professional web site – expertly designed, allowing you considerable detail in describing the unique aspects of your vacation rental. Benefit: Convey what is truly special about your vacation rental, without the homemade look.
• Individual, permanent web address – unique for your property. You should include this address on your brochures, ads, business cards, signs, and mailings, so renters can learn more about your property, at any time. Benefit: Lets interested vacationers access your listing directly, at any time.
• Includes UNLIMITED color picture gallery of your property (Premium & Plus plans) – Pictures are worth a thousand words. Other sites make you struggle to decide which few pictures to show, of the many property pictures you have. Several limit you to just 3 or 4 pictures, and if they do allow more, it often costs extra. Not GreatFamilyRentals.com! We are the only vacation rental web site that does not have a limit on the number of pictures you can include in your listing. Want to include 25 of the interior, and 25 of the beach and surrounding area? Go ahead. You can upload pictures instantly, or email them to us. Expert compression included for fast loading while still maintaining large images when viewed. Benefit: Renters can see how great your vacation rental is, inside and out. If you have a lot to show, then show it.
• Captions for all photos – other sites don't allow you to add important and helpful information to your photos. We do. Benefit: Room to explain each photo, giving you more opportunity to promote your vacation rental.
• Free universal online availability calendar and guest book – At any time, interested renters can see when you have openings. This calendar can be used at multiple listing sites, saving you time and money! Previous renters can leave comments in your online guest book. This is a great sales tool! Benefit: Renters can see availability instantly to reduce inquiries to you. Renters can read guest book entries from previous renters.

Benefit: Use what method(s) work best for you, and they can be changed at any time. Your listing won't result in more spam in your email.

  • All properties linked together – each of your listings will have a button promoting your other listings
  • Bonus page with all your properties – when you have more than one listing, you will get an additional page on GreatFamilyRentals.com that features all your properties.

But, we also promote your property with various directories and explore exclusive strategic relationships with family travel destinations.

Suspicious inquiries to your GreatFamilyRentals.com listing are individually inspected by our staff to assess their authenticity.

• Complete travel planning – Unlike other sites, we offer complete travel planning for vacationers, including airfare, car rental, attractions and activities, and trip insurance. This is important to you as an owner because vacationers are more likely to buy where they can plan and purchase their whole vacation. With other vacation rental sites, renters have to go elsewhere to book their flight, rental car, etc., and it is possible for them to select other lodging opportunities at that time, instead of booking your property. With our travel services, vacationers stay on GreatFamilyRentals.com.
• Toll-free customer support – Call us on our dime. Benefit: It's easy and free to reach our Owner Support Team for any questions or assistance you need.
