Israel Nicolas — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 17:01:53 +0000

Home rentals have gained recognition as an affordable, more spacious, and for some, more luxurious, option than hotels. Vacation rentals can be affordable with a nice nightly rate, and if you plan to stay for a week, a vacation home is much more preferable than a hotel. The only challenge is finding these vacation home rentals. Fortunately we have Rentmix, a vacation rental aggregator that lets you search more than 250K listings in vacation spots around the world.

To start using Rentmix, all you need to do is enter your destination and dates. You can filter results by price, number of bedrooms, and type of house, be it a condo, cottage, or townhouse. The tool then returns a Google Map showing the houses. Then you only need to click on each one to preview the house, view the calendar for available dates, and then click through for full details and reservations.
