In case you've been living under a rock, Matt Landau is a big deal in the vacation rental industry. His Unlocked podcast is the biggest podcast in the industry, but that's only one of Matt's many roles, campaigns, and m...
When doing a search for bookings, it would be helpful to allow for using partial names rather than needing to type either the whole first or whole last name completely (and therefore with the exact and correct spelling).
Situation #1) Because often times guests have oddly spelled names, so if you're off by a letter or two, currently nothing comes up in your search and you're kind of scre...

After some research into this topic, I'm afraid we will not be able to move forward with this request at this time. There are existing workarounds available.
A big driver for that decision is that Vrbo doesn't support percentage-based cancellation fees through their API. Your main options are to set your Cancellation Policy below 100%, or use rate adjustments to build buffer pricing into all bo...
Hi There,
I've been using ownerreservations.com for a few weeks now and thought I'd share my initial feedback.
Overall, I think the site is awesome! I'm new to the vacation house rental business, and using your web site has really made it much easier for me to manage my workflow and generate professional looking quotes to prospective renters.
