We have just released the latest batch of search improvements, making it far easier to find what you are looking for.

As we pass 100,000 holiday rentals it is more important than ever that you can find the rentals that match your exact requirements.

The changes are:

- You can now search for anything you want related to your property, for example “dog friendly”. Just search whatever is important to you.

- When searching for a city/town we attempt to match locations in close proximity into the search result.

- The availability search (by date) has been improved and now returns a totally reliable result.

We have also released a change to improve the usability of the availability calendar when a customer chooses not to keep their calander updated. This avoids the need to load a blank calendar page and makes the process of you finding your next rental a bit faster.

I may have forgot to mention that we started listing Thomson Holidays villas a few weeks ago.

Anyone looking for a way to start a great commercial relationship with a partner take note! This is a great way NOT to do it.

I really like Thomson as they do great villas and are part of TUI group, largest holiday operator in the world. They also have ABTA approval so your money is protected should anything unexpected happen!

We are delighted to be working with Thomsons and being able to offer you some of the best holiday rentals from the biggest name in holiday travel.

So in a further attempt to make amends, here are a few of their best properties for you to look at:

Nice 4 bedroom villa

Good looking Cyprus villa

We welcome today Premier Holidays and Bungalow.net as the two latest agents to join our community.

Here is a great Ibiza Villa by Premier Holidays and here is a great holiday home from Bungalow.net. They are both great agents with a great stock of good quality holiday homes, all of which can be booked on-line.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all of our private home owners, agents and visitors for being part of our community. Thank you.
