Booked for next year, help with villas needed now!

[matty624]

Booked our flights for next July! Earlier than last year, because when we came to look at villas last February, alot of the good ones had gone.
Does anyone have any recommendations for villa sites which put you in contact with owners direct. So far I've used the following:
www.vrbo.com
www.evilla-rentals.com
Are there any more people have used and found to be good?
Incidently, chose to go with Virgin Atlantic this year, as they fly direct from Manchester and the DTD check-in has reopened!
TIA,
Ian

We used Florida Choice back in 1998, before we bought our own place.

They are a well known company, but you have to go in to their office on 192 to get keys and diections. If you book direct with the owner you usually get directions beforehand and a code for the door to let you in, and thats it!

Just that little bit less driving on your first day there!!
