While it will be many years before the vacation home rental marketplace offers a Global Distribution System or related, the Internet has become a de-facto clearinghouse for vacation rentals from comprehensive web sites to individual Ma & Pa web sites using key words for exposure. May we suggest  options to:

Maximizing Internet Exposure:

There are many options on the web to expose your vacation rental. Many begin by using their social networking connections to expose their rental to family and friends (be forewarned, they will be asking for a stay discounted or gratis). Others may consider sites including Vacation Rental by Owner which due to its ever increasing volume is cluttered and confusing.

At TheSociety.com we have been most proactive concerning marketing via the Internet. Our newest product, The Global Bundle has received tremendous response. The Bundle offers vacation homeowners the option to target specific audiences from deluxe and luxury vacationers to those residing in feeder markets to your destination.

With exposure options including Luxury Real Estate, WSJ Online provided by Real-Time Rentals, HomeAwayand other sites, you can opt for the full Bundle or consider an a’la carte package. No matter what options are chosen, we guarantee excellent exposure and all requests are routed to you directly for you to screen, review and respond to.

“Before the Global Bundle I had my beach house in the Hamptons listed by local brokers advising they had the lock on the market for vacation rentals. After a dismal season, I opted for the Global Bundle. Within 48 hours, I had received multiple rental requests and the first booking paid for the Global Bundle+”.
