I've rented with them for years now for a lake house for a summer vacation on the Guadalupe River / Lake McQueeney between Austin and San Antonio. Have never been unhappy. It's great. Just be diligent, pay attention to the details, so you won't be surprised.

I've rented out to people on this site, and it is great. Plus, I got to meet people from around the world who stayed in my So Cal place.

We had a great experience renting for a family ski trip at Park City, Utah. Definately reccomend it!
