VBRO - AirBnB - HomeAway - Flip Key / What works best for you?

[Laramy Gregory]

My wife and I have owned a condo in Cocoa Beach for 2 years. We rent it through Flip Key and VRBO. We have had about a 50/50 split on where traffic comes from. Some people like the direct insurance option through Flip Key while others want to pay and get back the damage deposit from VRBO. 

We have located 2 properties in Destin that are considerable smaller than our Cocoa Beach condo, but they perform very well. While looking over the financials, I noticed more revenue from Booking.com and AirBnB. My question is what site do you see driving more traffic to your short term rentals? For those that have properties in several areas, do you see geography making a difference as to which site people choose?  We are very familiar with the booking process of the ones we are using, but will obviously take on a new site since they are performing well there already. 

I am just curious about the trends anyone is noticing with short term rental sites.
