Letters To The Editor


I saw this newsletter from another person who receives it.  I would like to sign up to receive it, but I couldn't find a link to do that.  

Please advise how I can receive the newsletter direct from you.  I have been using VRBO for years and didn't know there was a newsletter.  Please and thanks.......

Laura,
  
My Name is Walter West, and just wanted to tell you my experience with VRBO.
  
Since my cousin Linda and I took over this house from our elderly Aunt and Uncle last year, we were concerned how we were going to afford it (the bills and maintenance on a large property are huge).
  
One day while surfing the web we came across your Website and checked it out, and were surprised to see that there was a solution to our needs.  So we decided to give it a try. 

We took some really nice photos of our property, along with the beach and cabana we own, and listed it on VRBO. Since this was our only option to make something out of this, we took our time to make it right.

Just one day after listing it, we had our first response and booking, by the second day the inquiries started coming in from all over the world, and the bookings haven’t stopped since! We are filled up not only for this year, but future ones as well, and the guests are coming from places like Asia, Hong Kong, California, Europe, and states around the country.

Its been so profitable to us that we are now in the market for a second property to do the same for just our overflow. (I don’t like turning guests down when we are full).
  
We've been catering to all kinds of reunions, birthdays, wedding parties, even the US Coast Guard Graduations!
  
I wanted to mention that we not only use your site for our guests to stay here, but to vacation ourselves at some other properties listed on VRBO.
  
With that, I just wanted to say thank you for giving us the tools we needed to save our home that was handed down from generations. Now we know we will always have it for our children and their children to enjoy for years to come!!
  
Gratefully,
  
Walter West and Linda Posillico

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy both your site and your newsletter.  I have listed my Scottsdale condo on various sites, but VRBO is hands-down is the best for responses, ease of use and caliber of rentals. 

Additionally, I don't usually open and read the newsletters that end up in my mailbox, but yours is an exception.  It is informative and well written, and I often spend way too much time reading it!  Thanks and keep up the wonderful work!

Sincerely,
Ruth Madeja

Laura -  

This is Calvin Lindsay Elmendorf, one of your members who is grateful to VRBO for the fine service you have long provided your membership - and for the excellent ideas and suggestion your professionals have offered up over the years.    
 
A kitchen contest sounds like a fun and useful initiative - and I imagine it will stimulate a lot of folks to think more creatively not only about how they do their kitchens, but also about how they photograph and promote them.   

Just wanted to let you know we think very highly of VRBO and have always been grateful to have you there and to receive the support you have always been so ready to offer.

Hello;

I saw this in the Newsletter and felt the urge to send off a note and thank VBRO for this site.

We travel to Florida every year for the month of April, which at times spills over into the month of May. We have always used this site to find a suitable place to stay.

I just want you to know we have always had great success in finding what we want and where we want it.

I also find that once communications start with those who rent their homes, condos or apartments to be very friendly and so helpful. They provide me with everything from directions to the closest church and grocery stores, to things to do.

So thank you for providing this excellent site.
 
Thank You

Dear Editor,

I have been a user of VRBO for many years. We have enjoyed renting properties in the US and in the Caribbean, and have recommended the web site to friends who like to travel and who have properties to rent.

I love the newsletter because it makes me think about some options that I have not been considering and also gets me in the vacation mode.

Thanks again...and keep them coming.

We used your website for a home in Las Vegas. It was my daughter’s 21st birthday and the house was awesome!!! Could not say enough great things about it. The people we dealt with were fantastic, the house location was perfect and the house itself was great!!!

Hi Laura,
 
A thought that might help VRBO travelers for the August 08 election cities.

We have the Democratic National Convention in August ‘08, which annually is the busiest for Summer Travel and a lot of VRBO guests stay with us. Denver is Sold Out of hotel rooms. Travelers to both Denver and the Republican Convention city might want to be advised.
 
I have (3) places in downtown Denver: Penthouse, Loft, 2/2 in Highest
Residential Condo in Denver.

Just wanted to let you know I think the newsletter is great.  It really has me thinking about our next getaway. I've used VRBO.com to locate and rent properties a number of times and have had great experiences.  I’ve grown to trust the homeowners who choose VRBO and have recommended your site many times.

Thanks,
Debra Simeone



Hello Laura,

Thanks to you and VRBO for a terrific website. I couldn't manage my condo without you.

Cheers,

VRBO is the best on-line vacation rental source.  Believe me, I should know. 

To this date, my most favorite location is Tenessee, and in TN Jessica's Jewel  is about the best in my opinion. 
I have been the reunion vacation planner for 5 families for years.  So I've done my research.

Thanks.
Jim Parker
