Too many extra steps
Too many extra steps for verified accounts. And I don't want to have to use my phone to verify: I prefer my desktop, so that should be an option.

Vrbo is a vacation rental platform for booking entire homes, and only entire homes. No shared spaces. No shared hosts. Just one place for you and your group to stay together. Founded in 1995, Vrbo now offers more than 2 million vacation rentals across 190+ countries. From beach houses and cabins to condos and city apartments, Vrbo helps travelers find the right space for trips where privacy, comfort, and connection matter most.What is Vrbo?Vrbo is focused exclusively on entire-home stays, so you book the whole place to yourselves, not a shared room, shared space, or host-occupied home. That matters for travelers who want more privacy, more room, and one home base for family vacations, reunions, and group travel. Vrbo started as Vacation Rentals By Owner and still focuses on helping travelers book entire homes for trips that are better together. Why travelers choose Vrbo Not every trip is best served by a hotel room or a stay with shared spaces. Vrbo is for travelers who want an entire home where they can stay together more comfortably. With a Vrbo vacation rental, travelers can: * stay together under one roof * enjoy privacy with no shared spaces * cook, relax, and connect comfortably * choose a home that fits the way their group wants to travel * spend less time coordinating separate rooms and more time being together That focus is what makes Vrbo different. Unlike platforms that mix shared and private stays, Vrbo is centered on entire homes only. For families and groups, that can mean more privacy, fewer compromises, and more time together. How does Vrbo work?Booking on Vrbo is simple: 1. Search where and when you want to travel 2. Compare vacation rentals, prices, amenities, and reviews 3. Book the entire home that fits your trip Vrbo makes booking feel straightforward, so travelers can spend less time second-guessing and more time looking forward to the trip. Book with confidenceVrbo helps travelers book with confidence through clearer information upfront. Listi

How do I pay the deposit ? I have not heard from anyone.

The place I booked apparently "doesn't use VRBO" (their words) so the online checkin doesn't work through VRBO's links. They said VRBO sends it through Expedia and another 3rd party to their portal. Short version: I booked another place and the host didn't respond so I booked this last minute. The host had to text me their own portal link to do the checkin since the 'check in' link on VRBO only showed the checkin/out date and times. Not a huge deal, but for resorts and cabin places, I won't use VRBO. I'll just call them. This was a PITA. Also, I wish y'all would go back to just houses like your original brand promise. It's really annoying to see rooms and shared cabins when everyone who comes here wants an entire house.

The VRBO did not accept my credit card because it did not mach my previous card ending june 26. It took me lost of time to be able to correct VRBO`s infos. After that, it went well

- Prices are displayed in CAD on Expedia TAAP.Ca but charged in USD. - No foresight that the deposit would be charged / put on hold at booking for agency bookings.

well, after I booked and paid for the whole stay I got an email from the owner that I need to pay extra 6eur/per person/per night. that hasn't been disclosed anywhere prior I booked the place. I read many comments online that this is typically included in the total cost of accommodation. How can I trust that the link provided by the owner is legitimate ?

It took out some of the money and I can't find where I go to pay the rest. I went in to verify my phone number and it said my number was invalid... it's not.

I booked 2 separate homes that both said were available and was told by both hosts that they were not .. it is not a very smooth experience. It is frustrating as it says it is available but both hosts say it is not. It is my first experience with VRBO and unfortunately not reliable
