Vrbo review

Vrbo is the most family-friendly choice here because every listing is a private place, from beach houses to cabins, so you never end up sharing a home with a host. Its App Store page lists more than 2 million properties in over 190 countries. Pricing is easy to compare: Vrbo's help center says the total price includes all required fees, including its service fee, and that the service fee is refunded automatically when you cancel within the window for a 100% refund. Members get Member Prices of 10% or more on select stays and earn OneKeyCash, which also works on Expedia and Hotels.com. Reserve now, pay later lets you lock in a home with $0 due today on eligible stays, and Trip Planner lets a group vote on favorites. The trade-offs are a smaller pool of homes than Airbnb and cancellation terms that still vary by owner.

Who it is for

Families and groups who want the whole place to themselves and rewards they can reuse across Expedia sites.
