That 2nd photo is certainly amazing. I hear ya on the first and third, though. We're supporters of Creative Commons (stock photos make me shudder), so finding killer images can take a surprising amount of time... and sometimes you miss the mark a bit in the end.

Uncertainty about what Demeure is selling: definitely something to fix. We own only a small fraction of the villas on our site, but we describe them all as "our villas" because we've done the legwork to select them -- and importantly, you transact directly with us as a traveller.

The term "villa" is pretty much interchangeable with "home". It's the most common term in some of our hottest regions, so we decided to test out using it as the primary keyword. Your comments are great, though, as that's the sort of concern we're keeping our eyes peeled for.
