The VRBO website has improved significantly over the years, now giving users the ability to select travel dates and other filters, such as number of bedrooms, type of view, and whether or not it is pet friendly. It's updated interface has made it almost as easy to use as an online booking site.
Over the years, I've used VRBO for a variety of getaways... from beach condos, to an apartment by the Colosseum in Rome, and a charming villa in Tuscany....
[PRO] Save Money / Greater Value
Booking a Vacation Rental through VRBO can be a great way to save money, and depending on where you're going or your type of accommodation, can be a greater value.Some destinations are better for vacation rentals than others. Beaches with high-rise condominiums, as well as mountains with ski resorts and outdoor activities tend to have more VRBO listings. For example, a one-bedroom standard room with one queen bed and one sleeper sofa at oceanfront North Myrtle Beach resort, Peppertree by the Sea, runs $189 per night. A few nearby Ocean Drive North Myrtle Beach VRBO listings include a 3-bedroom/3-bath oceanfront condo at Ashworth for $126 per night and a 4-bedroom/3-bath oceanfront condo at Ocean Bay Club for $139 per night. For less money, you can get more space and even more amenities through VRBO.
