- Mike and Amy Braswell, founders of ScenicRentals.com, are taking
a road trip across the Southeast U.S. to scout vacation by owner
rentals for the website.
ATLANTA,
GA--ScenicRentals.com owners Mike and Amy Braswell are taking their
passion for vacation properties to the road during their Road Trip
2010. The duo created Scenic Rentals to connect travelers looking for
the perfect vacation home with 'by owner vacation rentals'.
The site provides advertising for rentals by owner for a low annual
fee of $45 per property. During the Road Trip 2010, the Braswells will
visit several of the rentals by owner that are advertised on the site
and will look for new properties to add. Each road trip sponsor will
receive the 'We've Scene It' designation on their website listing and a
discount off of the annual listing.
The road trip will take them along both coasts of Florida all the
way into Key West. After leaving the Sunshine State they'll travel
along the coast of South Carolina and North Carolina. Sponsorship
opportunities are still available to Vacation Rental Managers
Association (VRMA) member properties.
Scenic Rentals provides easy navigation for travelers planning a
trip. The home page features an interactive world map that users can
click on to narrow down locations. There's also a quick search feature
where users can enter a specific locale for quick access to vacation by
owner listings.
The listings provide comprehensive details about each vacation by owner
property along with numerous photos of the property. After choosing a
listing, users are able to contact the property owner directly to
inquire about reservations. The site doesn't charge travelers any fees
to help them find their dream vacation rental.
"From a property owner standpoint, our website stands apart from other rentals by owner
listings because we limit the properties per location to 60. Some
vacation rental sites literally have thousands of listings per
location, which frustrates many property owners because their listing
blends in with all of the competition. We feel the limit of 60
properties still provides a very good quality selection to travelers
while not sacrificing the advertising exposure for property owners,"
says Mike Braswell, president of Scenic Rentals.
The goal of the road trip is to learn about what information is
beneficial to users by personally meeting with customers and VRMA
partners. The focus is also to educate vacationers about Scenic
Rental's 'by owner vacation rentals' website to find a vacation rental
for their next travel.
"We want to share our adventures with our customers and property
owners through Facebook, Twitter and our blog and hope to share
first-hand information about some of the locations where we are
staying," says Amy Braswell, co-owner of Scenic Rentals.

low annual fee of $45. Travelers are able to see listings at no charge
