Where do you get most of your rental inquiries?

Naw. I'd wonder about the clientele we'd attract. Meow!

Thanks. I've seen Shutters' website and it is indeed great. I'll look for Gotothebeachmom's site as well. There are some wonderful examples of websites, even on links from VRBO. I may have some time this fall/winter to focus on it. I should make it a priority. I think organizing it is the hardest part -- the front page, what should be on it. But, I think just getting it up and running would be the best first step.

I think that strange looking cat should be someone's tour guide on their website...

You're right Paula, sometimes just getting started IS the hardest part. Having a planned structure and flow is super important, but nothing that can't be done on a cocktail napkin on the beach at sunset. Doing it yourself can be very rewarding both by increased rentals AND the knowledge of using html. And once you know how to build one web site you'll find many other ways to advertise and communitcate with people. I say Go FOR IT, and get started now.

We did ours in the dead of winter. We really wanted to be here instead of home so that somehow made it easier.

What a great idea to think of creating the website as an escape from northern winter. Now that's motivation! Thanks.

In addition to our rental mgt company, we advertise on 3 self rental sites (VRBO, findvacationrentals and vacationrentals), and we have a VT done by Kurt and are advertised on the Moon Creek sites.

We got inquiries from all 3 self sites but the most are from www.vacationrentals.com. When people inquire and are serious and I send them the link to the VT, they have rented our place.
