There is no need to pay expensive service fees to online travel agencies like VRBO, Homeaway or airbnb. In the past these companies provided a valuable advertising platform for owners, however with the addition of expensive guest service fees and other obtrusive policy changes, we and other owners are choosing to leave these sites in favor of operating our own websites and using other less obtrusive regional travel sites. You can almost always find vacation home owners information direct through the owners website or Facebook page, local chamber of commerce websites, craigslist and sites like HomeEscape, and cut out these unnecessary fees that provide no benefit to the traveler or owner.
