Skipjump is a vacation rental search engine connecting travelers with property owners/agents/managers in over 13,000 locations worldwide. It’s like Kayak-meets-MLS, for vacation rentals.
Property providers (owners/agents/managers), can create detailed property listings in any location, including rates and availability, blackout dates, 30 photos, detailed amenities and nearby attractions, maps, and (eventually) video. Skipjump also offers a powerful lead management dashboard, to help analyze and organize inquiries and traffic to their listings’ pages.
Travelers can search vacation hot spots by various metrics, including property type, budget and timeframe, amenities and attractions, and interest groups. Searches can be easily filtered and refined to dial-in the perfect property (number of guests, bedrooms, baths, skiing vs. scuba, etc.)
Skipjump makes money by displaying ads for other travel-related services, like air travel, car rental, taxi/bus/shuttle/ferry services, tickets for attractions, restaurants, and retail. Our targeted ad technology only displays ads specific to the traveler’s chosen destination. These ads include money-saving deals and promotions that help travelers pull the whole vacation together.
Skipjump means one-stop shopping for the do-it-yourself traveler, and is free to use for the owner, agent, and property management community.
