Where are you planning to go for your vacation? It makes no difference where you have decided to go, if it is a popular destination then you are sure to find a vacation rental by owner (VRBO) home. Finding VRBO has become very easy with hundreds of VRBO rental listing sites on the internet. Homeaway.com and VRBO.com are the two big listing sites and the new comer Rentalbot.com. The first two recently merged with several other websites, Rentalbot is new to the game but has a lot of quality listings owned and operated by owners internationally.

Why a VRBO for your vacation accommodations? There are a lot of reasons more and more vacationers look to VRBOs' for their accommodation needs. VRBOs' are fast becoming the way to go for vacation accommodations for many reasons, the major ones being price, space, privacy, amenities, comfort and a better quality of time.

Price, look for VRBO's that are managed by the owners and save, as they do not pay management fees so they can offer you a better price. If you share with another couple or go with a group you can divide the expense. Another Financial plus is that you can plan meals eat in and save the money spend on restaurants.

Space, you will have a lot more room than staying in confined hotel room. A couple with kid can put them down to sleep and retire to the comfort of a master bedroom suite or stay up and share with others if there is another couple sharing the accommodations. Privacy is another big plus as each couple or person can have their own bedroom. You will not have the issue of noisy people in the room next door or the continual traffic of people in the hallways checking in and out at all hours of the day and night like you have in a hotel.

Amenities are always better in a VRBO you usually have a laundry room and fully equipped kitchen. This gives you the opportunity to entertain with your family and friends. The idea of getting back home with clean clothes is a big plus. There is usually a balcony, terrace or patio to stretch out in and get some quite time to read and relax. You get all the comforts of home in a more relaxed atmosphere.

Quality of time and Comfort. You have the option of eating when you want with no waiting to be called for a table. If you are sharing the accommodations this is also a cost saving as you can divide the price spend on groceries? There are also those late nigh snacks that we all get cravings for after we are back in the comfort of our rooms. As long as you plan correctly and stocked that refrigerator with exactly what you need during your stay.

The pluses to VRBO's are many, you need to plan and make inquiries, research and review to find the best deals. Always look for owners that have taken the time to properly list their rentals and have a website with testimonials from prior visitors. Some owners will negotiate if the time you are inquiring about is usually their slow time. There is a lot to be said about having a vacation home you can go to get away from it all to enjoy with family and friends in a different location every year!
