Who is Vrbo?
Launched in 1995, Vrbo’s mission has been to find every family the space they need to relax, reconnect, and enjoy precious time away together.
Vrbo brings its expertise and reputation for excellence to the short-term rentals market with this booking channel for all travelers.
What does Vrbo offer?
Vrbo’s unique branding of catering to families is what sets that apart.
- They believe in family connection– “Our focus is on the importance of connection and the joy that celebrating meaningful moments together brings. That’s the magic we’re trying to capture. That’s why we’re here.”
- They have a place for everyone- “We started pairing homeowners with families looking for places to stay in 1995, and Vacation Rentals By Owner (Vrbo) was born. Since then, we’ve grown into a trusted global vacation brand with a unique selection of 2+ million whole homes all over the world. In other words, there’s room for everyone. Vrbo takes diversity and inclusion seriously because we believe that family is everything. No matter how it takes shape.”
- They want families to travel better together- “That means new features that make getting away together simpler for everyone. It means filtering for preferences and highlighting destinations within driving distance. It means streamlined group planning tools. It means stays for every budget. And it means excellent customer service and flexible cancellation policies if plans change.”

A high Airbnb occupancy rate can look healthy while hiding underpriced nights, heavy turnover, or weak margins. A low rate can point to pricing, but it can also expose listing friction, stay restrictions, weak visibility, or poor conversion.
In this episode, we break down how to calculate occupancy correctly and why broad averages are often a weak benchmark. We also look at booking pace, comparable local listings, and the difference between a demand problem and a pricing problem.
The goal is not to chase one percentage. It is to use occupancy as a signal for the next decision.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Calculate occupancy from booked nights and available nights
✅ Compare similar listings in the same market and season
✅ High occupancy can signal underpricing
✅ Low occupancy does not always mean rates are too high
✅ Change one variable at a time and review the result
