We've been doing this for going on two years now. Off-season--even just by a few weeks--rocks for better pricing. We've gotten a bunch of beautiful places very inexpensively off-season, after school starts, for example...this is in the US; for what we do, we need consistent & reliable Internet access, plus we're traveling with our pet.
VRBO & HomeAway have been pretty solid senders, we've tried a bunch of other options, but I don't think we've ever managed to book via any other site (except for one rental straight through the condo complex in an area not well-served by HomeAway/VRBO). Searching VRBO is a pain in the neck, but the owners tend to be a lot more experienced.
- Harkins 15y agoFunny, the only time I've had luck with VRBO/HomeAway is peak season, grabbing last-minute deals on things that would otherwise stand empty. :)
- jen_h 15y agoYeah, had luck there, too. A couple of times the same day we emailed! But there's a startup idea--someone should get on it if they haven't already--"Priceline for VRBO/HomeAway/AirBnB."
