www.alwaysonvacation.com – Always on Vacation indeed!

For starters, somehow I felt that alwaysonvacation.com was the site that could give me all the information I required to go to a place in the upcoming summer vacation. A person like me never goes to any place unprepared, and I so wished this site could give me all the information at the click of the mouse!

Just I started browsing through this site, I knew at the back of my mind that this was a Holiday Rental Site. But something mystic about this site gave me the feeling that I was in for something special. Trust I realized that this holiday rental site was so different than any others that my friends regularly visit.

www.alwaysonvacation.com is truly a directory, one of its kinds. It had almost everything in it that could have enabled me to book my travel to the destination of my choice. Here are some reasons why I think this site has the potential to be one of the best holiday rental sites on the Web.

Why is www.alwaysonvacation.com so popular?
Geography-wise listing of all locations

A holiday rental site is truly recognized comprehensive when it provides a lot of vacations to choose from. Trust this one did, and my goodness, such a huge directory of locations! I would have had to spend a couple of days at least, to even know so many places. Trust I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of Turkish destinations as that’s where I wished to spend an exotic vacation of sorts.

With this site, you could browse vacation rentals by region (Asia, Europe, USA and so on). Choose the place you wish to go and get choosing your destination too!
Listings of featured vacation rentals in United States of America

I always had the option of choosing a featured vacation rental in the United States of America if I decided not to spend a lot of money traveling overseas. To that extent, I could find some rentals in Florida and a couple in California. Enough for me to make a choice of a featured vacation rental!

Just so that I would be surprised, the featured vacation rental in the listing had all details like the room size and cost. The vacation rental had listed all, and I mean, all the amenities that were provided in the room. Not only that, it also had a list of attractive to-dos for you when you are in that place. Truly impressive!

Are there places available at the destination of your choice?

Okay then! By now, I have decided what I need to do for my summers. I will be heading to Marmaris, off the Aegean Coast in Turkey. Before I do so, I need to be doubly sure that I have an accommodation there. Considering what this site had given me till now, I was sure it could give me this information too at the click of the mouse.

Indeed it did! All I had to do was select the correct option given from the drop downs and there I had a vacation rental listing off the Aegean Coast. Above all, I could even check the availability of the accommodation that has been listed. I could just not ask for anything else from this site! In almost two minutes, it told me where to go, which accommodation to book and how to book!
Additional benefits this site provides

Expect special offers galore from this site. In my half an hour tryst with this site, I could find almost four to five of them! Most importantly, I could recognize that this site gave me information of all possible destinations that had featured vacation rentals, something none of the other sites I had visited till now gave me.

Keep all these things aside and be prepared to get a lot of information on the places to visit in the destination of your choice. You may have 10 reasons for you to go to the destination, but by reading this you could get 100 more to go there!

And yes, this site also offered me the facility of contacting the owner of the vacation rental directly to proceed with my bookings!

Area of Improvement

Sometimes while browsing the site, I felt a lot of details were given. Browse through any vacation rental in detail and you would understand what I am trying to say here.  Yes, there needs to be a certain degree of detail but what’s the need of mentioning the room’s ingredients. At most, information pertaining to what the room is all about should have been included.

No travel advisories given! That for me was a big letdown. Not all places in the world are safe and updating the travelers on advisories would help them make the best choice.

This site does tell you a lot on what you need to do but what about things you should not do. No place is ideal by any standards, and going to a place knowing fully well what you need to do to stay away from harm is good.

My Rating

Based on what I saw from my neutral eyes, I rate www.alwaysonvacation.com on the metrics mentioned below. Please note that 5 are the maximum points that can be awarded in any category.

Ease in Navigating the Website – 4 (At times, I found too many details interfering)

Number of locations                  – 5 (No ways it can be any less than this)

Details on locations                    – 5

Conclusion

Everything just looks perfect when you browse through www.alwaysonvacation.com. With a lot of details being given to you, trust you would never complain of lack of information. Some locations that have found their way to this site for their rentals just may not get in anywhere else! Perfectly recommended for anyone who wishes to be always vacationing!
