Thanks so much for the info. We will be sure to check our these other sites, and…keep you in mind for that time that we will be in Sanibel!

Both my vacation rental house and vacation rental condo on Sanibel Island are listed on VRBO. They do pretty well for me as an owner, and I use them to find vacation rentals when my husband and I travel.

My properties are listed on several other traditional rental sites, some not quite as good as VRBO, one a bit better (TripAdvisor/Flipkey)

But the site that creates the most confidence for me as both owner and renter is a new Facebook application: http://www.secondporch.com

With Second Porch, because it is a completely transparent platform, I have a better sense of who is contacting me and who I am contacting. There are no veiled email addresses and anonymous reviews. The essentials are disclosed. It’s a new app so the listings are not nearly as numerous as VRBO and TripAdvisor/Flipkey, but what’s there is reassuring so I use all of them as both owner and renter.
