Your Path to More Bookings
Why Professionally Managed?
VacationRoost.com differs from the “rent by owner” category of websites and distribution services in three key ways:
- VacationRoost.com only represents Professionally Managed Vacation Rentals, providing the consumer with a more consistent and reliable vacation experience.
- VacationRoost.com offers valuable services and support options like travel planning assistance, credit card booking, and group travel services that are not available in the listing service model.
- VacationRoost.com operates on a pay for performance model. There are no costs to sign up and no listing fees.
Properties & Bookings
With more than 100,000 vacation rental units in over 84 destinations worldwide, VacationRoost.com offers the largest selection of professionally managed vacation rentals available on the web. To date, we have booked more than $500 million in vacation rentals and related services.
Destination Experts
Our travel specialists are Destination Experts. Many of them live in the destinations they specialize in making them the best in the industry. They have stayed in our rentals and know the local secrets and the best places to visit. Our Destination Experts average more than ten years in vacation home rental sales.
Vacation Services
VacationRoost also offers a wide variety of vacation services to our travelers, including airfare and ticketing, airport transfers, car rentals, optional activities and excursions, ski rentals, lift tickets, airfare and travel insurance.
Supplier-Friendly Distribution
Your partnership with VacationRoost is designed with one thing in mind: to generate increased bookings for your properties.

- Our Market Managers work directly with you to load specials in real-time.
- The opportunity to package or bundle with other travel components and sell through opaque pricing
- We only sell what you haven't sold. We check availability by Call and Request, Extranet or Direct-Connect.
- Risk Free Distribution! There is no cost to sign up, and you only pay when we deliver a valuable booking.
- We pay you in advance of the guest’s stay, not after.
The Perfect Partnership
