vrbo

There's really not a big difference. I've noticed that a lot of the listings I've seen on airbnb are also listed on vrbo.

We've booked through both and have had great experiences both ways!

I've also used both and there's no major difference between the two. Agreed with the others that listings are many times cross-posted, but I actually find VRBO to be a little bit cheaper - it might just depend on location?

Thanks all! I figured it was similar but I had never heard about VRBO until recently. We still haven't chosen a place yet so it's hard to say if I can get my hands on enough Xanax to get my FH on a plane or if we'll just road trip up the West Coast. I'm just starting to look around.

There isn't really a significant difference between the two as a customer looking to find a place to stay (if you are looking to list a vacation rental, that's a different story). The biggest thing that matters to me is that AirBnB lists single rooms in shared houses along with entire space listings but VRBO only lists entire spaces with private entrances (a whole condo, house, in-law apartment). You can easily use filters on either platform to sort your selections and avoid shared spaces if you want though.
