I took my own pictures and posted them on villagers homes for rent.com . We also put a for rent sign with phone number in the window of the villa. Most of our traffic came from villagers homes for rent.com.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Now I need to go "knock on wood".
Wow.....great results! Do you use a home watch service to take care of any issues your tenants might have, or do you just handle everything yourself?

I've used the website you mentioned to obtain rentals before buying my own place and had wonderful experiences with each home that I rented. I think it's a great, easy to use site and often recommend it to others.
