Domegos.com Review - Vacation Rental Revolution

By Nick February 17, 2008

This is a paid post for Domegos.com, but honestly, I wouldn’t mind giving this site praises without compensation. Domegos dot com is a web 2.0ish travel related site looking to turn the vacation rental industry upside down by allowing vacation home owners list their vacation rentals free in a feature rich, highly intuitive layout. Really, the concept isn’t too complicated, but it is very groud breaking for this industry because the leading vacation home rental websites thrive off the fees charged to listing owners.

Even with free vacation rentals listings, users of the site still get to utilize the norm features, like photos, maps, descriptions, etc. The interface gives off a great web 2.0 vibe, so all of the features of the site are easy to use, intuitive, and easy on the eyes/aesthetic. But not only are all the standard features included, they’re improved with the new web design practices that have become [mostly] common the past few years.

The most obvious advantage Domegos has over its competition is its interactive maps, which are a staple among 2.0 travel sites. The maps make it easy to find the ideal location for prospective renters, and will definitely benefit vacation home owners as well as there will be more transparency in the listings since prospective renters can see the true location of homes and their proximities to landmarks.

For comparison to the so called “market leader” of the online vacation rental industry, Domegos has a great chart comparing its features with those of the market leader.

I don’t mean to force my opinions down your throat..ideally anyways, but I think Domegos makes a great argument for itself as an online vacation home listing portal. With features that benefit renters (easy to use) and owners (FREE!), I’d have a hard time believing otherwise. But if Domegos gains some traction and doesn’t run out of funding, I think they’ll be a major player for years to come in the travel booking agency. So check out this budding, elite, free vacation rentals directory.
