About Vrbo
Vrbo, short for Vacation Rentals By Owner, started in 1995 by pairing homeowners with families who needed more space. Today it offers more than 2 million whole homes worldwide and describes its mission as finding every family the space they need to relax, reconnect and enjoy precious time away together. Its tagline is Where families travel better together, and it is part of Expedia Group.
Whole-Home Rentals
Vrbo offers whole homes only, so travellers always have a private space rather than a shared one. Properties include houses, condos, cabins and other homes suited to families and groups. Popular destinations include Orlando, Myrtle Beach, Kissimmee, Panama City, Gatlinburg, Breckenridge, San Diego, Cape Cod and Mammoth Lakes, covering beaches, mountains and theme-park areas that suit family holidays.
Groups, Families and Homeowners
The brand supports group travel with rental pages for large groups and family reunions, and group planning tools that make it easier for several households to choose a home together. Homeowners can also join the marketplace to offer their property to travellers. For families and friends who want space for everyone, a kitchen and a place to gather, Vrbo positions whole-home rentals as an alternative to booking several hotel rooms. With more than 2 million whole homes worldwide, Vrbo covers a wide range of destinations, from beach towns and mountain resorts to city and theme-park areas. Its focus on private, whole-home stays reflects its origins in 1995, when it began by pairing homeowners with families, and its mission of giving every family the space they need.
