Homing in on vacation digs with pickpackgo.com
If you're thinking about renting a home for your summer vacation, a relatively new site, www.pickpackgo.com, launched in September, may make the search easier.
What's hot: Search by location (including international), dates and the number of bedrooms. Results show listings of vacation rentals offered by property managers, with photos, amenities, maps and destination. Calendars show availability.
What's not: The site says it has about 66,000 listings. A competitor, Vacation Rentals by Owner, www.vrbo.com, claims 95,000. PickPackGo may have fewer choices, but it is more user-friendly and easier on the eyes.
