4 'Top' American rental sites for £95?

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Returning to HA, I also list on H-R, but haven't had an email, nor does our property feature in HA in my region - although the property of an acquaintance is listed there. Similar spec to ours, so a competitor. I originally pointed him in the direction of H-R too!

Could it have something to do with my personal habits? No, just remembered, MG's chalet is listed. :?

Dear Gascony Goat,

You reminded me to have another look. 100 properties now listed in Morbihan, I wish I were one of them. I really feel as if I am missing out, & all those potential bookings I have lost!

Still, serves me right, as I did have the audacity to moan to HR about a few things.

Robert.

Thanks Robert - yes I haven't always been in favour with them either, although David, their sales manager, and I have reached an amicable understanding - I think! So Dave, how about it! :D

Is that silversurfers.net ? Seems to be a bit of a linkfarm to Interhome....do they take ads?

Goat
Well, theoretically they take ads, but I asked for info yonks ago and have yet to receive a reply! :roll:

Another one to look at is http://www.seniorsnetwork.co.uk/

Back on topic, we've had one enquiry from HA, although no official notification from HR about this! The other problem with this is the time differential; we've sent an email answer to the enquiry, but we always prefer to speak to the prospect personally - and she's in California, so no luck so far!!

Dear GG,

Our listing has now appeared, thanks to, I think, an email I sent to HR.

Their prompt reply was. 'I can see it, please click the link below'

Yeah right, whatever! It wasn't there an hour earlier though.

So all is not lost GG.

Just out of interest, my stats tell me that my site has had a visit from HR shortly after I posted the 2 above comments on LMH. Interesting.

Robert.

News flash, Robert - our property is now throbbing happily on Homeaway!

Thanks H-R; links to personal websites next maybe? :wink:

Post by memes »

regarding me mentioning slow trav earlier - just back from a week at the house so not had a chance to come back before. Just had my first booking through them so my faith in them is somewhat restored..
site seems to be working ok now too.

Not had any enquiries re the US from HA yet though..

Dear GG,

I have now decided to officially join the animal set - So it is now Sheepie, formerly known as Robert.

Glad to see that you are now listed on HA - Well done & Braaaaavo.

Ironically, I got my first ever rental request from H-R, from two ladies in the USA, for the week prior to Xmas. So who needs HA anyway.

Alas, they didn't fancy lighting woodburners & regretably my manservant was on holiday that week. So no go, but at least I was able to have a joke with them!

Sheepie.

Hi Sheepie :D

The sheep in the front looks OK but the one in the back looks a bit deformed :wink:

Ros, You have got it all wrong, the one at the back is just munching grass.

The one in the middle is not deformed, he's just trying to 'muffin' the big orange sheep.

GG, I'm not really a real sheep, cos I wouldn't be able to put 'pen' to paper. Another name then -

Sheepish.

If a couple of goats, a mouse and a firebug can, a sheep can! It's just a question of practice ....
