American Demographics reports that 6.4 million people, or about 6 percent of homeowners, own a second home. Are you one of them? Does your second home sit vacant most of the time?
With MyVRSite.com,
homeowners and property managers can create Web sites to rent vacant homes, condos and apartments to travelers. It only takes a few minutes to create an entire Web site for one property or several. Sites start at only
$299 for a single property and $499 for multiple properties.
My VR Site Web sites include all the "bells and whistles" travelers are looking for, including a reservations system with an availability calendar and online payment processing. Sites can also include photos, logos, "contact us" forms and descriptions of the property, rates and rules, and the area nearby.
It's incredibly easy to build your own Web site at MyVRSite.com. First, you first choose a template from a
large library of Web site templates. Then customize your availability calendar and payments system. Next, enter your rates, rules, and property descriptions. To finish, upload your photos - just about any size and format will do. If you have any trouble while you're setting up your site, you can even access live online help.
The site also gives homeowners and property managers powerful tools to confirm or deny reservations, accept payments, and send e-mail newsletters to guests.
Of course, once you build a Web site, you want people to find it.
My VR Site automatically optimizes your site for the search engines; they include hidden "meta tags" that describe your vacation rental. Each property on your Web site also shows up on
GVRL.com, where travelers go to find unique lodging. Finally, My VR Site submits your site to Google, MSN and Yahoo so it's easy for prospective guests to find. You can even view reports that show how many times each page on your site has been viewed.
"Just sign up at MyVRSite.com and you can

easiest, most cost-effective way for vacation rental owners and managers to manage availability, take reservations and payments online, and communicate with prospective renters. It's better than most of the more expensive software out there."
Tom Grant, a producer at
MyVRSite.com adds, "Our Web sites and online software cost much less than similar reservations management systems. It's also fast and easy to set up your own Web site, without hiring an expensive developer. My VR Sites also come with
an audience of avid travelers at GVRL.com. They want to rent from you. What could be better?"
