Vacation rental Wordpress site

[Jared Adamson]

I am trying to create a Wordpress site for my vacation rental. I need suggestions on great themes people have used and different plug ins that seem to be applicable. Any help would be great!!  Thank you!

Hi Jared,

I too am working on this and I think I can save you some testing time and money.  I ended up using a theme called Travel Eye by WEN Themes but had to do quite a bit of customization because I want my guests to be able to book directly with me and I didn't like their booking engine.  So here are the other plugins I'm using (for now):

VRCalendarsync (booking calendar with iCal capability - $34 can't beat it!)

Photo Gallery by Supsystic (I like this better than the one built into Travel Eye - it's more flexible)

Ultimate Social Media Plus (Amazed at the functionality of this plug-in for social media icons)

Hope that helps you get started.  If you have suggestions as well, I'm all ears!

Mike
