About Us

Owners Direct specialises in advertising privately owned holiday accommodation direct from the owner. Founded in 1997, Owners Direct, presently, advertises over 33,000 villas, apartments, bed and breakfasts, chalets, farmhouses and cottages, mainly all types of holiday accommodation in countries throughout the world. Owners Direct has been growing rapidly, and was, recently, voted Runner Up in the Best Villa Rental Companies category in the Conde Nast Readers Travel Awards 2009.

Since August 2007, Owners Direct has been a part of Home Away Inc. which owns the largest holiday rentals websites in the US and Europe, making it the world’s largest vacation rental marketplace.

Owners Direct connects travellers directly with the owners of holiday properties. Travellers benefit as they pay no commissions, and enjoy lower priced holiday homes. With more space and privacy than a hotel, flexible rental dates and check out times, access to the owners’ personal insights about the holiday destination, catering to special holiday needs of being online or having pets or heated private pools, renting a villa or apartment during a holiday provides far more value for money and great satisfaction!!
