Owners Direct
Monday, July 7th, 2008
Owners Direct Holiday Rentals are the UK’s leading online holiday property website, specialising in properties direct from the owner. They have provided the facility for private owners to advertise their properties in locations around the world since 1997.
The site has expanded to such an extent that more than 25,000 holiday homes are now available in over 60 countries worldwide, attracting enquiries from the growing number of people turning to the internet for more cost-effective holidays.
Still operating as a separate brand, since joining the HomeAway group in August 2007, Owners Direct have now become part of the world’s largest family of holiday rental websites. Their popularity and success has undoubtedly been achieved by sheer hard-work, tenacity and an in-depth knowledge and experience of the marketplace that has evolved since the site was first launched over a decade ago. Today, the business operates from an office in Ashtead, Surrey, in the capable hands of a loyal, dedicated and extremely busy team of 12 staff, some of whom have been with Owners Direct from the beginning.
While the emphasis is on self catering, Owners Direct also have over 500 guesthouses, hotels and bed and breakfasts to choose from anywhere from Australia to Wales. Owners Direct take the fuss, worry and confusion out of making holiday arrangements on-line by providing one of the most user-friendly websites in the holiday rental marketplace. Their advanced search facility makes it as easy to find a ski chalet in Switzerland as to find pet friendly accommodation in France. All popular requirements are catered for, and even some obscure ones, so anything from wheelchair friendly accommodation to a cave house can be found within the Owners Direct website.
Those wanting to offer their private properties for holiday rental are as important to Owners Direct as the increasing number of holidaymakers searching for holiday villas, apartments, cottages or condos. Placing an advert on the site is easy - no complicated forms to fill out, a one-off affordable annual fee and secure log-in access to your own page at any time. The design of the site, combined with the personal customer service that you receive, will give you the golden opportunity to showcase your property – be it a beautiful villa in Spain or country cottage in England.
