Have you ever tried to rent from VRBO? I did a couple years ago and have never been back.
Approx 30 calls, 6 or 7 responded, a couple of those hadn't kept their calendars up-to-date, and only 2 actually were available and matched the info on the site. I was doing my best to spend $6k on a ski vacation and vrbo just didn't want to cooperate. The whole thing was a giant waste of time.
- siquick 11y agoThis was probably before the online booking platform was launched - you'd find a whole different experience now. Would recommend using http://www.homeaway.com http://www.homeaway.com (parent company of VRBO) instead - has same inventory but better interface.
- mylons 11y agoI sure have. Take a look at Lake Tahoe's VRBO/homeaway listings. They're routinely cheaper on VRBO than airbnb for comparable properties, and it works fine. People in tech just assume airbnb is better.
- prawn 11y agoYeah, I used VRBO in LA when everything on Airbnb was overpriced and rarely replying. Worked out well.
