“Top 10 Summer Vacation Home Hotspots of 2007” announced by VacationHomes.com and Vamoose.com

LOS ANGELES – As the summer travel rush kicks off this weekend, the operators of VacationHomes.com and Vamoose.com, two of the most popular vacation property rental websites on the Internet, have assembled their annual list of the Top 10 Summer Vacation Home Hotspots of 2007.

The list results from an analysis of months of website traffic, including hundreds of thousands of page views and property inquiries. It shows that for travelers who prefer to stay in a vacation home instead of hotel, this year’s summer hot spot may not be the stereotypical dream vacation destination such as Hawaii or Puerto Vallarta.

“Warm weather and palm trees continue to be a common theme in the vacation plans for many travelers this summer – but what may come as a surprise is that resort destinations in Florida dominate this year’s list,” said John McGanty, general manager of the travel division at Internet Brands, Inc. “This indicates that vacation home renters, especially those with family in tow, are traveling to more leisurely or relaxing destinations rather than typically crowded tourist towns.”
