I’ve owned vacation rentals for over 30 years, I’ve watched this industry change dramatically, especially over the past year.

Airbnb and Vrbo continue to increase fees and introduce new policies that make it more difficult for owners and property managers to protect their homes and operate their businesses.

What many travelers don’t realize is that these increasing costs ultimately affect the price of their vacations.

Vacation rental owners have mortgages, insurance, property taxes, maintenance, and cleaning expenses. When booking platforms take a larger percentage, those costs often get passed along to guests.

And unfortunately, some owners are deciding it’s simply no longer worth it.

❤️ Here’s how you can save money on your next getaway:

Instead of booking through Airbnb or Vrbo, look for the property’s name or management company online and see if they have a direct booking website.

Book Direct and Save! You’ll often avoid additional platform fees while supporting the people who actually own and care for these homes.

After 30 years in this business, I truly believe direct booking is the future of vacation rentals.
