Vacation Rental By Owner Review Summary

If you prefer a larger place to stay when you vacation, then Vacation Rental by Owner could be the right web service for you. This travel web site is beloved by many who use it for its nice lodging accomodations that usually include a large house or condo. Reviewers agree that Vacation Rental by Owner is a nice vacation resource and they like the pictures of the resorts and ability to contact the owner of the site through multiple means. Vacation Rental by Owner is nice because you can “Rent a Real House from a Real Person and Have a Great Vacation” and it offers a “World Wide Selection of Places to Stay”. One word of caution from reviewers, however, is that you must realize that Vacation Rental by Owner is only a facilitator between owner and buyer, and that means you are relying on the owner of the vacation property to be honest and truthful; and vice- versa. But overall, if you want a vacation property with a good price tag, Vacation Rental by Owner ranks as a very good Travel Web Site that everyone should try.

The last two times we went to Disneyworld, we rented a house from Vacation Rental by Owner Online Service or VRBO. I had heard about the site from CyndiA, and thought I'd try them. We had such a great experience with them, we not only used them the next time we went to Florida but also when we went back...

VRBO is a cool site for finding private homes, villas, apartments for rent. You can save some serious coinage by using them well.

Gotta be careful though. You're dealing with private owners, NOT with a company. Build the trust relationship. Sometimes photos are not accurate. Sometimes "gotchas" are...

I was not a happy camper growing up, and I mean literally. My dad always took up camping and fishing. I thought I would plan much better vacations, but sadly my boys hated motels and tourist neon. They would have loved my dad's vacations. They didn't love my first ones. I had to come up with a new plan.

I found Vacation Rental by Owner online at www.vrbo.com and that was the end of our vacation woes. I get a house for a week, and we all do our own things - some together and some not. We have our down time to rest at the house we've selected, and it's kind of like home but much more relaxing and...

We recently used VBRO.com to find a great property in a prime resort in Mexico.  The site is well designed and easy to use.  The family that we dealt with was very responsive and trustworthy.  All around a good experience.

I found VRBO several years ago while looking into the possibility of using a vacation rental instead of the traditional hotel.  Having a family of seven it is quite expensive for us to find a hotel that can accomodate our entire family in one room or suite.  I was surprised at the number of rentals available.  Also, it seems that they have rentals available in places that I truthfully was shocked to find.  The site is very user friendly, there are no surchages to renters and you can communicate entirely through their site if you want.  You are able to immediately look to see if a particular...

Vacation Rental by owner or VRBO is an exciting tool to use for those travelers wanting more living space when they are away from home.  In many occasions places found through this website are more inexpensive than well-known hotels. 

I have used VRBO in many occasions with great satisfaction. It is perfect for my family of 5 since we normally have to stay in two hotel rooms because we have teenagers. Now I just find a condo that fits my family comfortably for less money than two hotel rooms. Last month my family and I stayed in Paris for 10 nights and I used VRBO to get an apartment...
