- After spending hours online searching for vacation rentals for my family, I looked for a book or Web site listing the best homes for rent.
I haven't found it yet.
So I created Beach Vacation Rental Scout. I handpick and personally review individual homes and local rental management companies with great inventories who offer great customer service (and often boutique hotel-style amenities).
Right now Beach Vacation Rental Scout barely covers California. But, I am working hard to expand to other prime beach locations in the U.S.
Recommendations and referrals are always welcome!

The Power of a Personal Recommendation
Posted on April 27, 2009 at 12:55pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
There's nothing quite as enticing as what follows "You HAVE to try...."
A personal recommendation -- making one, or taking one -- is one of the warmest ways to connect with another person.
