I Found My Vacation Rental Home In A Big Blue Box.
Finding the ideal vacation rental property on the Internet can be a daunting task. There are so many web sites listing vacation properties that it can be overwhelming. Besides the information overload, many web sites have a clumsy process for finding a suitable property.I am a travel agent and I have clients who wanted to stay in a rental home in the Orlando area. I began my search at Google. When I typed in Orlando vacation rentals I got 616,000 results! I started going from Vacation rental web site to vacation rental web site.
Browsing through the listings one by one trying to find homes meeting my clients requirements. This was just taking too long and was too complicated. Then just by dumb luck I found

WorldWideVillas.com.World Wide Villas has a Big Blue Box to simplify the process. Just go to the location menu for the area you want and click for a detailed search. The Big Blue Box will appear.
Check off the items you want like price, sleeping accommodations, swimming pool, air conditioning etc.. Then let the Big Blue Box do the sorting for you. Only properties meeting your requirements will appear. This even works for travel agents trying to find properties that will pay a commission.Let's say I'm going to Orlando Florida and I need a property with five bedrooms. When I got to the Orlando menu there were seventy one properties listed.
I then clicked to do a detailed search and open the Big Blue Box. I selected "sleeps 10" and clicked search. Thirty seven properties came up that will accommodate 10 or more. I can further narrow my search by checking off more boxes. This makes it much easier to find exactly what I want.
In a few minutes I had several properties that would work for my clients. I used the availability calendar to eliminate the properties that were already booked for my dates. Then I contacted the remaining properties using the direct e-mail links. I got a number of replies with more information and the facts I needed to book a vacation for my clients. My clients just returned from their trip.
They had a great time and loved the accommodations I found for them. They already started talking to me about their next vacation. Thank you World Wide Villas!.
