I do have to agree with the OP. Last few times I've had to use it replies from owners were slow. Even to return phone calls. Airbnb I was chatting with the owner within minutes.

The great deals drifted off with the oil spill.

I've used VRBO 4 times this year, and interacted with the owner every time. You are probably looking at the cheap arse properties that are managed by companies.

I tried to use vrbo a couple of weeks ago. It was awful. None of the calendars had been updated. Some were 3 to 4 weeks outdated. I booked 2 weeks ago through another site, but I had a lady call me yesterday in response to an inquiry that I made three weeks ago. She sounded surprised and annoyed that I had moved on.

I agree. It's complete BS. I try to use them for our beach trips and most properties that come up are not "Rent by Owner" but a management company who could care less about updating the calendar since they direct you to their website at the bottom of their listing. VRBO should have a policy that only the property owner can list. I need to try this airbnb thing.

Ran into same problem doing a last minute trip...found exactly one place available from Waveland to Perdido
eta: some of the places without updated calendars laughed at me

They are owned by the same company, bu I switch between VBRO and Homeaway, depending on the region one is usually better than the other

My in-laws use it to rent out there beach house. It is booked solid through Labor Day. Seems to be working fine to me.
