I'm very glad to have found this site. After being a HomeAway/VRBO User for years, they have gotten so greedy that the vacation rental experience is no longer positive with them. I will gladly pay a subscription fee to HomeEscape to list my property. They have to be able to operate and they're doing you the service of listing your property. I'm happy to pay this fee because they still allow you to manage your own property. It's important to be able to communicate and vet your potential renters, which the HomeAway/VRBO network no longer allows you to do. If you try to community outside of their platform, they will shut down your listing. On HomeEscape you have the option to community, decide to rent, discuss rental terms, and take payment outside of the platform. As long as HomeEscape stays this way, I will continue to pay the Subscription Fee and use this site.
