Company Profile: Rentalo

Rentalo is a highly regarded company that specializes in vacation rentals. The New York Times and National Geographic have loaded them with praise, and there is definitely a reason. Their site is extremely easy to use and fills a void in the travel industry to connect directly with individual users.

You can search by property id, location (and they have them available throughout the world) and even read their Best Accomodations Newsletter for some great tips on where to stay. As someone who loves travel, this site is perfect for me and is no doubt useful for other travelers who may not be familiar with a particular region or area.

There is a section for owners to post listings, which opens up the entire world to small companies who may have never had the ability to reach potential guests on this scale. In all honesty, a company like this can help make a struggling bed and breakfast in the west of Germany an overnight success, or help a homeowner in Utah take advantage of the visitors interested in the Sundance Film Festival.

The live help option is a great feature for vacationers with questions on rental properties, or how to use the site. This is definitely a vacation rental site that is geared around both users and property owners. There's even a section for travel agents.

Overall, Rentalo has all the ingredients of a successful vacation rental super site.
