The kind of experience clients remember.
“He showed deep expertise, kindness, and patience before he ever earned my business — and that is what prompted me to ask how to start working with him.”
This company is impressive. As a realtor, investor, and short-term rental owner, I have dealt with a good amount of companies that earn your business by over-promising and under-delivering. Not this company.
From the first call, Jay spent 1.5 hours with me answering questions and sharing helpful insights before he ever earned my business. He did not push. He showed deep expertise, kindness, and patience — and that is what prompted me to ask how to start working with him.
Once I signed on, the process was methodical and seamless. The client portal was easy to use, and the follow-up from the team was stellar. What felt like a daunting website project turned into an enjoyable, streamlined experience.
I appreciate the care and creativity this team provided. Godly Girly Getaways is now a short-term rental website I can be proud of because of the love and attention to detail that went into the design. Thank you, Jay and team.
What this proves
“Not just building a website — they understood the feeling and heart behind Black River Cottages.”
Working with the Villa Marketers team on our new website has been such a positive experience from start to finish.
They have been incredibly patient, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. Every question was answered quickly, every concern was taken seriously, and you can truly tell they care deeply about the work they do and the businesses they help.
What stood out most was how much effort they put into understanding the feeling and heart behind Black River Cottages — not just building a website. They genuinely listened to our vision and worked hard to create something that reflects the warmth, personality, and guest experience we want people to feel.
We are so grateful for all the time, creativity, and support that has gone into this project, and we are incredibly excited for launch. Highly recommend working with them.

I can confidently say we have one of the best vacation sites on the web. The process is very methodical and walks you through what can be a very daunting task.

The team at Villa Marketers is the best in the vacation rental business. Their team helped us launch a business with our digital footprint. Their expertise, patience and advice helped us build a world class Web site! We are excited about our growth that Villa Marketers helped us to fuel.
“My second project with them — the site makes it easy for guests to secure their booking.”
I just completed my second project with Villa Marketers and am once again so pleased with how the site looks and how it functions. They worked very hard to make my vision come to life on the screen. I want to drive as much direct booking traffic as possible and the site makes it easy for guests to secure their booking.
“My website's performance on Google has significantly increased. I'd rather invest in my own website than the listing sites.”
Jay did an extensive Keyword Analysis, designed a new website for me, and optimized it for Search Engine Visibility. My website looks great and its performance on Google has significantly increased. Previously 98% of my rentals had come from the top vacation rental listing sites. I decided I would rather invest my money into my own website.
“They launched my website and made sure it was at the top of the search engines.”
Excellent job branding and developing the necessary marketing material for my STR. First, they launched my website and made sure it was at the top of the Search Engines. Then, they collaborated with me to understand how to convert clicks to sales. They have been an excellent partner and I look forward to their continued support to ensure BlueWater Cove Boutique Resort stays at the top of the search engine.
