Expedia

Expedia, like Booking.com, offers a number of lodging options, but it also includes a dedicated vacation rental search page that allows you to bypass the filtering stage. The site has a nice number of results, however, I did get several ads that didn't appear to be holiday rentals for specific searches (TownePlace Suites by Marriott, Outer Banks Motel).

Expedia isn't the ideal vacation rental site if you want to explore via map; while a map is accessible, it lacks the site's filter options, so you'll have to establish your preferences first on the main listing page and then switch to the map.

You'll see photographs, facilities, policies, reviews, and a list of surrounding attractions after you click on a listing. However, it does not appear that there is a means to contact the property's owner. When you click "reserve," you'll notice an extra sum labeled roughly as "taxes and fees," with no precise breakdown. If you log in as an Expedia member, you may save 10% on numerous accommodations, according to the site.

Best feature: The site has useful filters such as “Business-friendly,” to help you find properties with Wi-Fi and breakfast, and “Family-friendly,” for listings that have “in-room conveniences and activities for the kids.”
