Vrbo is one of the most popular vacation rental platforms among travelers, hosts, and property managers. So listing your vacation rental on this OTA website can help you reach a wider audience worldwide and get more bookings.

To get started, you need to register on the Vrbo platform and then use your Vrbo owner login to create a listing for your rental property so travelers from different parts of the world can view it and book it. In this article, you’ll find instructions on how you can do it.

You may also want to learn more about Vrbo fees for owners to get a clear idea of how much you’ll be charged for each listing. 

Setting Up a Vrbo Account

If you are thinking about becoming a Vrbo host, you can list your vacation rental property in just a few easy steps.

  • You need to visit their official website and click on the “List Your Property” button in the upper right-hand corner of the home page.

  • From there, you’ll be redirected to the welcome page for new hosts.

  • Then, you will be prompted to provide basic information about your property, including its size and address.

  • Next, you’ll need to fill in your name, email, phone number, and a custom password.

  • After you’ve created your account, you’ll receive an estimate for how much you could earn in a year renting out your property (based on similar places).

  • You’ll receive an email to confirm your registration and will be able to proceed with the next steps to list your place on Vrbo.

  • After you press “Continue,” you’ll be required to verify the location of your property.

  • Describe your home or apartment and upload photos. Set the house rules.

  • Fill out the security information required. You’ll be prompted to send a verification code to your mobile phone to confirm your identity.

  • Set up prices, payment methods, and other particular details.

  • Finally, publish your listing.

You’ll have to wait for a few days until Vrbo reviews your listing. Then, you’ll get an email from Vrbo to comply with anti-fraud and sanction regulations. You’ll need to provide

  • Proof of identity (i.e., passport, driver’s license, or National ID)

  • Property ownership (such as a copy of the purchase agreement, deed, or tax bill)

  • Original gas, telephone, or other utility bills dated within the last 3 months for the rental property.

After completing these steps, you have to wait for guests to find your property and start accepting bookings.

When you create a listing on Vrbo and other platforms, it’s important to ensure effective communication with your guests and synchronize your calendars and pricing across platforms to avoid double bookings.

Vrbo Host Login: How to Get Started?

In fact, there isn’t a separate “Vrbo host login.” Hosts log in the same way as guests. Vrbo only allows one account per person, so your host and traveler accounts are the same thing. The main difference is the way you manage your account.

If you have already created an account as a Traveler, you can use those credentials (email/password) to log in. Then you should follow the links to proceed with the listing of your property as an Owner.

And if you don’t have an account on the Vrbo website, you can sign-up as an Owner to list your property. Then, you’ll be able to use the same credentials in the future as a Traveler and make bookings.

So how do you log in to your account as an owner? Follow these steps:

  • Click Log in at the top of the page.

  • Choose Owner Login from the drop-down menu to navigate to the Vrbo owner login

  • Enter the email address and password you chose when you created an account.

  • Click on Log in or press Enter on the keyboard.

  • Complete two-factor authentication if asked.

Two-factor authentication is a security feature that uses two different forms of authentication to verify your identity and helps protect the information in your account. Two-factor authentication is required when you want to access your account from a new or unrecognized device.

So each time you use a new device or one that the system doesn’t recognize, you will be prompted to complete the following two-factor authentication steps:

  • Enter a phone number that’s already verified in your Vrbo account.

  • Choose whether you’d like to receive your access code by text message or automated phone call on your verified device.

  • Once you have your code, you need to input it into the site or app from your new device to access your account.

You’ll need to wait for up to a minute for the verification code to come through. Keep in mind that verification codes are valid for 30 minutes. If you haven’t authenticated within that period, you will need to request a new code.

Besides, the system will lock your account if a code is entered incorrectly five times for your protection. If you are locked out of your account, you need to contact Customer Experience. You can do it by clicking the Contact Us button.

Final Thought

Vrbo is a good option for hosts and property managers to list their short-term rental property and get more exposure. When you create an account on Vrbo, you’ll be able to use Vrbo owner login to get access to your unique dashboard with full functionality that will allow you to manage your listing.

In this article, we’ve provided you with easy instructions on how to log in as an owner, but if you have more questions, you should contact the platform’s support team. They work around the clock to ensure that everything runs smoothly and are always ready to help.
