Update: Thibault from the excellent Rentalpreneurs.com website wrote a very good article on how to find and successfully advertise on niche vacation rental listing sites. Definitely worth a read!
How about a Maui-centric niche site? http://MauiOwnerCondos.com.
hehe totally! we just connected a Netherlands-only vacation rental website, Perfect Visit: https://new.rentalsunited.com/PublicProfile/perfectvisit Talk to us Matt!
I’m the proud owner of a niche vacation rental site (https://www.socoastal.com) that specifically targets beach vacation rentals on the East Coast. We launched on our home turf in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on June 27th of this year. Less than a month later we’re at 604 fully automated and bookable listings. Would love to talk with the Rentals United team about partnership.
Hi Justin. Thanks for your email. can you contact me directly on james@rentalsunited.com and we can discuss this.
Hello Vanessa,
thanks for your mails. I am the owner of three luxury properties rented by agencies which apply an average of 25% commission on the net price to me. I would be willing to join Rentalsunited, but I am afraid that publishing my properties directly to the final client with sites like Homeway would disturb them due to the lower price (no commissions, so I expect more clients). Any experiece or advices?
Thanks
I work for a supplier of Rentals United. We have issued one invoice many months and they have neither paid the invoice nor give a consistent reply. It is very sad that a company that is supposed to be growing to not pay their vendors.
I don’t know of any supplier chasing us for money. Kindly contact james@rentalsunited.com so we can sort this out?
Ok the thing is settled. Thank you very much for your help.
