Testimonials

We understand what it’s like to be a vacation rental owner and work hard to meet our customer’s expectations. However, don’t just take our word for it. Hear from some of our happy owners.

"VRBO has helped turn renting my home around. It is much better than using a rental agency who charges 15 – 20%. I have referred two other people to VRBO who also have had great success with using VRBO. I highly recommend it if you want to turn your property into an income producing property." Jill Harris, VRBO Owner

"I just wanted to tell VRBO how much I appreciate their service in helping us rent our beach house. It is far better than the other sites we have used. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you." Jennifer Bloom, VRBO Owner

"Your site rocks – I've had strong success rental through VRBO." Joe Richert, VRBO Owner

"We listed our Destin rental property through VRBO beginning in February 2009. The response was unbelievable. To date, over 3,000 people have looked at our property, and we were completely booked last year. We even found a snowbird that stayed out our condo during the off season. It was such a successful launch that we had trouble visiting our own condo because it was always booked. We love VRBO. Thanks for the quality service. A+." Sherri Davis, VRBO Owner

"I just wanted to say thank you again. We are hooked on VRBO. After posting my ad, I got an inquiry and a rental, the next day. Then I left for the weekend and when I got back I had six more inquiries. This is just blowing my mind! I think this is super great and I am grateful for VRBO." Renee Rubin, VRBO Owner

"I have only been a member of VRBO for less than a month but I am impressed with the many tips and tools you give us, especially helpful for us newbies. I have taken advantage of many of your articles and your credit card processing service. Thank you for everything!" Jo Ann Daugherty, VRBO Owner

"VRBO Is AMAZING! My house has been rented almost full time since I joined. Your customer service is also amazing. What a GREAT company and concept. I owe you all more than the initial fee!" Sandra Petersen, VRBO Owner

"This is my first year with VRBO and I am already fully booked for my key season. I get great traffic on VRBO and more than 2 out of 3 inquiries result in a firm booking. Thank you so much." Judith Fraser, VRBO Owner

"I have been a long standing VRBO client and value the service. I recently told my neighbor who was considering renting their home that VRBO gave me by far the best results and that if they only listed with one third party site, it should be yours." Jeff Debnam, VRBO Owner

"I had my property on 3 sites and when it came time for renewal I could only afford one so I am glad I chose VRBO." Leo O’Connor, VRBO Owner

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy both your site and your newsletter. I have listed my Scottsdale condo on various sites, but VRBO is hands-down the best - for responses, ease of use and caliber of rentals. Thanks and keep up the wonderful work!" Ruth Madeja, VRBO Owner

"This has been such a wonderful vehicle with which to hold on to my property and have others enjoy it in my absence." Cynthia Kee, VRBO Owner

"I have been very pleased with your system. I know when I first joined with you I was actually receiving more than one inquiry a day on average! But for the amount of the basic membership, I have received an equal return for every single day that I've been a member. I am very pleased with your service, and the amount of interested people it brings to my landing page. Thanks VRBO for making my first year a great one!" Darik Eaton, VRBO Owner

"You all are awesome! I had a full 12 weeks this summer which is full for my area. Last summer without VRBO I had only 3 weeks. I think VRBO is great and will probably add the photos mostly to move up." Lindsay Steward, VRBO Owner

"VRBO is the best vacation site available. We have received great bookings from this site. My favorite part is getting to meet such interesting people from all parts of the country. It is like having friends at my home all the time. I have discovered that those who rent my home take wonderful care of everything and that makes working with the VRBO site and renting a great experience." Joanne & Ken Bower, VRBO Owner

...the best vacation site available

"Your current marketing efforts have paid off for me...I have had a horrible rental year, but just in the past 24 hours, I have received about 10 inquiries and 2 bookings! Both bookings said your email made them cancel their "expensive" beach vacations to find something more affordable and close." Debbie Wilson, VRBO Owner
