Vacation rental search engine

A project that aims to help people easily find vacation rentals of all types (cottages, campsites, etc.) with little to no effort required.

The idea is simple:

• We crawl thousands of websites and booking pages.
• Users tell us what they're looking for.
• We find matching locations with availabilities, and show them to the users.

We don't manage booking or any other parts of the process: we just help users find available rentals that match their criteria and availabilities.
