Be VERY LEERY of any of these "resort" companies. Most are nothing more than glorified timeshare rentals. If you are looking to book a vacation rental stick with going direct to the owner. Call them, quiz them, get photos from multiple sites and check the local chamber of commerce on the owner as well.

Sites like vrbo and rentalo are a good start, but make sure the property owner is real as these guys have seen a big increase in fraud on their pages. That is why local, niche, websites are better if they exist in the area you are looking to visit.

One example is http://www.floridagulfvacation.com or find listings a http://www.vrwd.com
