Founded in 1995, Vrbo (Vacation Rentals by Owner) has become a leading platform for vacation rental experiences worldwide. Built on the belief that travel is more meaningful when shared with loved ones in a place that feels like home, Vrbo empowers travelers to skip traditional hotels in favor of private homes, cabins, condos, and villas that offer more space, more privacy, and more memorable stays.
Today, Vrbo is part of the Expedia Group family, which gives it a global reach and the resources to offer travelers peace of mind when booking. With millions of listings in over 190 countries, Vrbo has cultivated a reputation for trust, transparency, and family-first travel planning.
A Brand Rooted in Connection and Comfort
Vrbo’s brand philosophy centers on togetherness. Whether you’re gathering with extended family, reuniting with friends, or enjoying a quiet romantic escape, Vrbo provides the kind of homes that make real-life moments feel extra special. Each listing is thoughtfully selected to ensure comfort, style, and convenience. With features like full kitchens, backyards, private pools, and pet-friendly options, Vrbo’s homes are designed to let you live like a local—without compromising on comfort.
