The only thing I would add is that many customers will actively look for your site (searching google etc.) and would prefer to book with the "original source" than through a directory or agency so it is important to give them what they want. We are building a service - Bookster (only UK at present) - to allow self catering rentals to get live, real-time booking on their own website independent of any directory or agency. Excellent post.

I've been looking at several VR web sites recently some of which are pretty awful Front Page efforts that probably turn off the people who actually see them. Some are done on Word Press which is a great option for those who have few skills and can look really professional using the right template. Sticky is the term I like if you mean people stick around longer to read all the information you provide. I'm a great advocate of using a web site to support ads on listing sites - it gives owners the opportunity to show their own voice and personality which in turn creates a relationship with the prospective renter.
