Big Savings for Bigwigs

July 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Local Bigwig is the newest source of short-term furnished home rentals in travel destinations worldwide. As a New York-based website, it catches the pulse of the locals and delivers fresh travel tips while uncovering New York's secret spots. It is driven by a philosophy to help global travelers and local homeowners meet and "Live the Local Life."

With domestic and international expansion plans, Local Bigwig currently focuses on what it knows best, the New York area. Right now it features homes from chic downtown Manhattan lofts to sprawling Hamptons estates.

The website is currently in BETA launch and the fact that the website is founded by experienced and avid travelers is evident. Creating an account to browse the content on the site is currently free. Homeowners can post their homes on the site without a fee to reach out to potential travelers. The website takes into consideration the hesitation that many travelers and homeowners face--whether it is the fear of letting someone else stay in your home, or actually staying in someone's home. While it is built to be secure and safe, Local Bigwig smoothly evades the overly-sterilized feel that websites aiming for security often possess. The crucial peace-of-mind that comes from open communication between homeowners and travelers is not sacrificed. Staying in a real home while vacationing is a unique experience and the Local Bigwig team tries to make it as easy as possible to experience it.

While LocalBigwig.com specializes in vacation rentals, the bigwigs behind the site are travel, food, and style junkies who love to keep their readers up-to-date on what's happening, whether it is a concert, New York City-wide special, or an interesting anecdote. These bigwigs scour for New York City's finest to bring to their blog-followers and users. Almost as fun as flipping through the luxury homes on the site,  the Bigwig blog and articles range from helpful and fresh to simply entertaining. Users are encouraged to become members of the website for the sake of exploring, if nothing else.
