ClearStay.com™ and EscapiaNET™ Vacation Rental Reservation Network Deliver Record Results for Vacation Rental Managers

SEATTLE – March 19, 2008 – Escapia, Inc., the #1 web-based provider of software and marketing solutions for professional vacation rental managers, announced that its industry-first, end-to-end vacation rental network delivered record January and February results. Escapia’s unique real-time, end-to-end reservation platform allows consumers to book rental properties easily, with real-time availability, accurate pricing and one-click booking. Consumers can visit ClearStay.com or one of many vacation rental sites using the EscapiaNET™ distribution network. For the professional vacation rental property manager, the EscapiaONE™ property management web-hosted software provides a cost-effective way to reach traveling consumers.

“We went to beta with EscapiaNET in November 2007, and already, more than 60% of the property managers using it have seen bookings, including one property manager with over $27,000 in new business,” said Bill Furlong, CEO of Escapia. “For consumers, ClearStay.com offers unparalleled convenience; our goal is to make it as easy for consumers to find and book a vacation rental as a hotel room.”

Illustrating the strong momentum of the company:

  • The platform powers a large and growing volume of transactions:
    Escapia, Inc. powered nearly $200 million in gross bookings over the past year, with bookings increasing by over 40% from a year ago; each week, Escapia solutions power more than $5 million of vacation rental bookings.

  • Property managers are increasingly adopting Escapia:
    Escapia drove record January and February software license sales -- the number of new vacation rental units adopting the platform in January and February 2008 show year over year gains of 230%. Units signed for January and February 2008 are more than 70% of 2007’s total for the full year.

  • Escapia’s new distribution network is already driving new business:
    Released to beta in November 2007, EscapiaNET has driven over $350,000 in new gross vacation rental bookings at no up-front cost to property managers.

  • ClearStay.com is dramatically increasing its breadth:
    ClearStay.com, Escapia’s own vacation rental booking site for consumers which went to beta in November 2007, now has more than 45,000 committed vacation rental listings.
