    I’d say it’s annoyingly useless until they get real numbers with the listings, instead of “Call”.

    I’m not going to wade through pages of Call Call Call. If they can’t post numbers, I don’t have time to waste.

    I have stayed in vacation rentals for years and love them. It’s like the best hidden secret that maybe you never thought of when traveling. I think the internet has open the business so much. With people being able to view the house/villa outside and inside and see information on what to do locally is key.

    Having a easy way to search for them is great.

    Hi Minimum Wage,

    Thank you for the rentBits feedback. We crawl hundreds of thousands of listings a day and some listings do not supply a price.

    I will take your information back to the engineering team as a requested feature.

    A vast majority of the listings have a price.

    To view pricing for all listings in your area, you can add a price range of the property you are looking for and get all of the available listings within that price range. We hope that helps.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    This is the best way to find a place when traveling outside of the USA or for that matter in the country as well. I used it a few years ago when I visited Buenos Aires.Thanks!
