According to a press release, on October 2nd 2008 a new holiday home search engine was launched on the internet. Using a system that imitates a search engine such as Google or Yahoo, the idea is to begin to type a destination of interest into the search box and just like the mentioned search engines above, a list of results is displayed with the aim of not only matching your destination but also giving you other similar options and choices.
With over 25 countries listed (and the number is increasing rapidly), you could search for the country of your choice or for a more specific region, for example, "north" or "south". Once again you are presented with a list of results that most closely match your search requirement.
With a little experimentation the system seems to be very versatile, typing in the word "south" yielded some of the following, South Africa, South Wales, South Carolina, South Island or even South of Rome.
If you simplify a search for example to Greece, a list of properties, holiday homes and holiday villas in Greece only appear. After repeated searches on the same destination, it appears the properties are listed randomly enabling any of the villas and holiday homes to be listed at the top.
Facilities, amenities, prices and photographs of the location are all accessible once a particular property has been highlighted.
Advertising private holiday home accommodation direct from the owner via the website makes it a classic transaction website, uniting both holidaymaker and holiday home owner.
Originally launched in 2007, the site grew quickly and within months had thousands of properties listed.
Having had a look around, this villa rental website does seem very easy to use and is a great idea allowing people who may not be particularly internet savvy to also find their way around without too much difficulty. The owners of the holiday villas can be contacted directly either by email or phone enabling both parties to make arrangements with the minimum of fuss and effort.
Some of the features of the site include:
Thousands of properties now listed
Imitates search engines, using keyword search
Countries and locations being added all the time
Rent or advertise
Rates of Advertising seem to be highly competitive
In conclusion, user friendly and new, this holiday home seach engine seems to tick all the right boxes for both holidaymakers and property owners - 15359
