We are members of The Vacation Rentals Multiple Listing Service run by Portside Promotions which means that when you advertise your rental property on our site your rental also appears on a lot of other sites - you can see the full list of other web sites your property will appear on at their members by location page.
As well as automatically advertising your rental property on a lot of web sites they offer a lot more features:
Take credit cards.
Our members don't need a merchant account to be able to take credit cards.Our members can now take credit card bookings on all their bookings not just rentals generated from our web sites. These bookings can be taken on-line, by phone or fax.
(more)
No long term contracts.
You can choose to join our service monthly or annually and you can leave at any time.
(more)
Free web site with 10mb of web space.
As well as providing you with your property details on a single page we also give you a website for your own use to show off your rental home - we provide you with 10MB of free space for your own web site - enough to show about 500 pictures of the size we use!
(more)
Free availability calendar.
We provide you with a free searchable availability calendar. This calendar is easy to use - just login and enter the dates your property is booked and it is visible on the web.
(more)
Last minute offer and auction sites.
We have a web site that specialises in last minute offers and we are just testing a site that offers vacation rentals by auction similar to Ebay - if your property has any free dates in the next few weeks then advertise the weeks here at a discount and fill it.

Instant access and 24/7 update.
As soon as you join you have instant access to our database to place your property details. All you have to do is fill in a simple form and your property is instantly searchable on our many sites.

Our members have different levels of competence on the internet - so we are here to help. We can simply advise you on how to upload your property details to receiving the details in the post and uploading them ourselves.

You only make one low payment and that puts your property in the database which is used by every member. To place your vacation rental in the database costs just $4.95 a month (£3 or 4.95 euros). You can either pay monthly in which case there is a one time set-up charge of $15 (£10 or 15 euros) or you can pay a year in advance and there is then no set-up charge.
You can join the database through Portside Promotions:
