Listing your Orlando vacation rental on the right websites can increase its visibility so you can get more bookings all year round.
If your home doesn’t appear in the most popular online listing platforms, you could be missing out on potential visitors willing to pay for the features and amenities your short-term rental home has to offer.
Today’s top three vacation rental sites are Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. But there are others you need to consider if you want to get the most out of your Orlando vacation rental home.
Owner Direct
Owner Direct brings property owners and guests together on one platform. The site allows your property to be matched with prospective guests looking for homes just like yours.
Homeowners are only connected with guests once they’ve confirmed their details, which can prevent you from having to deal with users who aren’t ready to book your home.
Owner Direct takes a 10% booking fee, and there are no upfront costs you need to worry about when listing your Orlando vacation rental home.
HouseTrip
HouseTrip is a listing platform owned and integrated with the popular TripAdvisor site. Listing your home on HouseTrip means that your listing can also appear on TripAdvisor, one of the most popular travel resources.
There’s no upfront cost for listing your home on HouseTrip, and the platform takes a 3% fee from the booking rate paid by your guests.
HomeToGo
HomeToGo is an aggregator site that pulls listings from websites like Airbnb. Aggregator sites can make it easy for travelers to find listings from multiple platforms all in one place.
When you list your property with any of HomeToGo’s partners, including Booking.com, VRBO, and HomeAway, your listing will automatically appear on the HomeToGo website.
With more than 500,000 users looking at listings on the HomeToGo site, you can significantly boost the visibility of your vacation rental home.
Kid & Coe
Kid & Coe is a vacation rental listing site catering to families looking for an alternative to hotels. If you own a kid-friendly vacation rental property, listing your home on Kid & Coe can help you reach your target audience.
There’s a $99.99 editorial fee, which covers the cost of preparing your listing. This includes photo editing, editorial, and fact-checking services. There’s also a processing fee of 10% for bookings completed through the site for private listings.
Using these vacation rental listing platforms can help you reach more guests and generate consistent bookings for your Orlando vacation rental.
