I am not sure a web site makes that big of a difference when you have one or two vacation rentals. I would bet it has more to do with the promotion they are doing.

Yeah, google analytics is the way to go on this. I think the main upside is that you are probably seeing the traffic as google sees it, which is all that really matters.
