Asking what is a good website is like asking how long is a piece of string!! They come and go and it is hard to find one that performs reliably and consistantly. Some go straight to the top of the search engines and go great guns for a while , then will drop right down again. Others will perform really well for you initially but they will take too many homes on and you will just drown in a sea of houses. Some people will swear by sites that others will find totally useless. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

Firstly I would say sign up for anything which does a free trial. That is the only way to know whether a website is going to perform for you. It is really annoying to put money up front never to get a solitary enquiry from them never mind a booking.

I am going to list you the websites I am on and response this year

www.holiday-rentals.com ( 4 bookings-subscription cost £175)
www.evilla-rentals.com ( 2 bookings- subscription cost £70)
www.orlandovillas.com ( more than 10 bookings I would say ( John could tell me!!) ( referral fees you know about)
www.**** ( 5 bookings- free at the moment)
www.floridavilla.com ( 1 booking - free trial and free if you put two car hire bookings through them)
www.homesneardisney.com ( 1 booking- $80)
www.findvacationrentals.com and www.vacationrentals.com - free trials, no bookings yes but some enquiries.

The rest came from my own website, repeat bookings and friends of past guests, referrals, friends and work colleagues.

What works for me may not necessarily work for you however. It has to be a matter of trial and error at the beginning and a lot is down to luck.
