How do HomeAway and PMBO work together for owners?
Planning a vacation is easier than ever thanks to sites like HomeAway. HomeAway allows users to book a variety of places to stay while traveling, allowing guests access to beautiful beach houses, spacious cabins, and cozy condos. With more than 2 million homes to rent in 190 countries, it’s a world leader in the vacation rental industry.
Whether it’s a family vacation in some exotic location or a cozy anniversary trip to the Rocky Mountains, HomeAway offers fantastic destinations that are typically cheaper than traditional hotels. As part of the Expedia Group of family brands, HomeAway is a go-to global site for finding the best bed-and-breakfast style rentals worldwide. All those features and more is why PMBO decided to include HomeAway in over 40 channels that can be managed by our software.
Should you list your rental on HomeAway?
HomeAway is becoming a household name, right alongside Airbnb. The site welcomes over 6 million visitors every month and is very user-friendly, with everything travelers need just a simple search away. All travelers need to do is enter the city, state or country of where they’d like to visit, enter travel dates and then use filters and maps to narrow down the results.
Guests can set up a HomeAway account for free and save vacation rentals to their favorites list. They can even share them with others for feedback and input. The free account also lets users track communication with owners, but that won’t be necessary since the PMBO mobile app has that capability across all channels.
Other benefits...
HomeAway also offers a Book with Confidence Guarantee. The guarantee covers payment protection, help for misrepresented properties, rebooking assistance, and damage deposit protection. HomeAway’s confidence guarantee was explicitly designed to help travelers. That’s part of the reason the booking channel has gained so much popularity. HomeAway, like other channels, offers travelers a better experience than hotels at a lower rate. Full kitchens, laundry machines, and privacy are just a few of the perks when using short-term rental over hotels.
Travelers aren’t the only ones that benefit from HomeAway though. Many owners list their properties to earn extra cash. Controlling their rentals is simpler thanks to PMBO – the rental property management software that lets them manage properties without the need for a professional management company. The program was created to give back owners control of their rentals for increased profits with less management time commitment. Earn more, work less, and worry never!
