Vast Launches Vacation Rentals Search
Posted by Brian Smith at July 8th, 2006

Vast launched vacation rental search last week covering over 600,000 vacation properties from over 12,000 sites. I love the filtering capabilities (bedrooms, bathrooms, nightly rate, amenities, activities, etc.).

According to the Vast blog:

Vast doesn’t just aggregate a few large vacation rental listings sites: Vast’s web crawl results in more sites and more listings so you’re more likely to find the perfect place when and where you want to travel. You’ll find remote mountain cabins listed on tiny one-page Mom-and-Pop sites that aren’t likely to appear on other vacation rental sites.

Once you decide where to go, you can refine your search by a particular amenity: air conditioning, a BBQ, or a hot tub, for example. Or view only non-smoking rentals. Or only rentals that sleep 8 or more people. Only beachfront properties, etc. Want to bring along Fido or Spot? Simply click on the “Pets OK” link to see only pet-friendly listings.

Why pay attention to Vast? As Bill Burnham said months ago, “If you want to view a good approximation of what Google Base will look like once it is finished, go look at Vast.com.”
