Where Do You Rent Your Vacation Home

Disclaimer*** I own a rental company.

I'm curious when you look into renting a vacation home in a beach or mountain town for whatever reason.

Are you more likely to look at small rental companies in the area or are you more likely to look for a vacation home with one of the big players like HomeAway, VRBO, Airbnb?

I have only used Homeway / VRBO as opposed to some local company to find  place to rent for a family vacation. It is easy to compare price and features. I am not looking for a bed and breakfast or renting a room at someones house.

After Using Homeaway and Airbnb to advertise my STR, I can tell that bargain shoppers are more on Airbnb so I would probably look their too since prices seem to be cheaper there. I get a much higher price and many more bookings on Homeaway on my STR. This is just my personal experience.
