It is a free vacation rental search engine that connects travelers with property owners in 13,000 locations around the world. You can search vacation spots by location, property type, budget, timeframe, amenities and attractions. Searches can also be filtered down to features of the property including number of guests, bedrooms, Wi-Fi, HDTV, beach front, etc. Once you focus in on one of the listings you can see up to 30 photos of the property and reviews and ratings by other users.

When you’ve found your ideal place, you can request information from the owner for your preferred dates and then you’re linked directly for the final arrangements. If you’re a property owner, Skipjump also serves you by allowing you to create free detailed listings in any location, including rates and availability, blackout dates, photos, detailed amenities and nearby attractions, maps, and soon video.
