The site had a nice look overall. The pattern in the header drop-shadow is kind of cool, but more distracting because it looks like it is being accidentally covered up and a bit busy.

I agree with what others have said regarding the color scheme being a bit too tan overall.

I also keep looking at the logo and thinking that is a bit too busy, and I don't really understand why it has the floral shapes emerging from it.

The beveling on the image frames also feels a bit heavy, especially with the dark drop shadow.

In general the imagery and the copy take a bit of analysis before getting a handle on what the company is about, and even then I am not sure why I should choose you for my vacation planning.

Thanks Nat0, you're reinforcing some themes emerging from this discussion. Awesome.

The logo's a challenge to work with, though we're trying not to change it -- at least, not right now -- due to some brand recognition in the villa rental industry.
