Owner testimonials

The following are actual comments emailed to us by A1Vacation advertisers.

"Thank you for providing such a brilliant and efficient service. I am astounded and very pleased."

"While there are many web locations offering vacation rental listings, it is hard to find one, from conception through execution, done well. While I thought having an active volcano in the 'backyard' at [our vacation rental] would be all the draw I would need, I was wrong. I list my property at over a dozen web sites and track those that produce results. A1Vacations is consistently at the top. My guests have included biologists studying Hawaiian Monk Seals, Volcanologists doing research at the volcano, and vacationers trying to find 'the real Hawaii'. My guests have been as happy with [our vacation rental] as I am with A1Vacations."

"I signed up last night at 11pm ... I got my first phone call today at 3pm .... not bad huh?"

"Going online with A1Vacations has been our best internet advertising!! We get more responses from this ad than any of our other online sites combined!!! Being on A1 gave me the first opportunity to make complete reservations over the internet, this saves time and money which helps our business grow!!! Thanks A1 and keep up the great work!!"

"Our renewal is in the mail. Thanks for everything."

"You can quote me on this one. I was so impressed with your approach, I listed six homes with you. This allows my clients to take their time and pick the home they want. This gives them a great sense of comfort and awareness before they call and book with a stranger who is only a voice on the phone. I get calls complimenting me on my advertising page with you. The features on your site are the most comprehensive and supporting of all of the advertising providers who compete for my ad dollar. Best of all, I was able to get all of my investment back with one booking. I know I would not have gotten that booking if it wasn't for your service. It came from Belgium. I live in Los Angeles and I know I would have to wait a long time for a family from Belgium to find me to rent one of my villas in Mexico, if it wasn't for your service. Since that time, I have bookings from France, England and Turkey along with inquiries from Indonesia, South America and Australia. The E-mail contacts during my busy season were running at 25-40 per week along with other 50 phone calls."

"A1Vacations has been just the extra kick we needed in our internet advertising. Our home page is doing a great job, but we needed to make more people aware our business existed. A1Vacations has done just that! Thanks, A1Vacations!"

"Our listing with www.A1vacations.com doubled our number of rentals this last summer."

"Millions want to vacation in small beachfront communities like Troncones, Mexico, but had no way to find accommodation there. A1Vacations allows them to find our new beachfront home easily from anywhere in the world."

"We have only had our Florida home listed with A1Vacations for a few months, but the results have been immediate and profitable. We have had over a dozen inquiries, and have booked two rentals, both off-season rentals that we had not expected. Probably the best feature is that the parties inquiring generally provide their home address and phone, allowing me to respond quickly and in person."

"A1Vacations web site alone has increased inquiries about our properties substantially. We particularly like how our web sites can be modified by us anytime we want. We don't have to worry about 'extra' fees."

"I have a condo in the beautiful Adirondacks of Upstate New York and got a rental from Japan through A1Vacations -- it's too cool. The family is familiar with the area, but would never have found my condo any other way! A1Vacations is the greatest way to have a truly global customer base!"

"We advertise on several places on the net, so I wasn't sure I needed another site. I was pleasantly surprised to book a week from A1Vacations within a few days of listing and have seen consistent inquiries and bookings ever since. I recommend your service to others on the net. It's cost effective and EFFECTIVE!"

"This year, in the off-season, we had a delightful couple from Japan staying at our cottage on the lovely north shore of Prince Edward Island through the site on A1Vacations. The internet is marvelous!"

"My ad on A1Vacations has helped me book my two condos in Panama City Beach, Florida solid for the past year. Because of services like A1Vacations I have not had to advertise in newspapers or any other non-Web related source. Thanks alot A1Vacations!"

"Our luxury villa in Spain is not your average property, but A1Vacations.com generated an amazing amount of traffic and enquiries within weeks. We are very pleased with A1's good and cost-effective service and decided to list two additional rentals at A1's site. Warmly recommended!"

"I would like to thank you for the GREAT WORK you have done promoting my vacation property. I currently advertise with several other companies [4 named] and have had twice as many responses with A1 as all the others COMBINED. I don't know what you are doing that is different than the others but it sure is working for me. Thanks Again! P.S. This is the first year that I have owned my condo and I am completely booked for this summer. Several renters who have stayed in our condo have already booked for next year."

"We just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how great your service has been our first year. We have had NUMEROUS inquiries throughout the year and in fact we were booked the entire summer. Maybe we should look into picking up some additional property? Thank you so much for your service and a job WELL DONE."

"Thank you ... the page looks great! I have received my first booking from A1 site! YEA!!! Will you please send me an email before the May due date to renew for the year?"

"I checked my webpage and it looks great. Thanks for your help. [We] will be adding an additional property shortly."

"I would like to congratulate you in your work on this wonderful site, it has given [our villa] alot of exposure and certainly alot of inquiries and rentals, thanks so much and keep up the good work!"
