Great Service
I actually enjoy using VacayHome. The only improvements needed would be a stronger connection with Streamline and possibly allowing us to make changes within VacayHome.

Fantastic Company
VacayHome connect is a pleasure to work with. They quickly got us integrated with our PMS and diligently made sure all of our connections were working properly. They described the process extremely clearly and were the only company that enabled us to get connected to VRBO. They explained all the features within the extranet and are super responsive to any questions we have. Fantastic support and staff.

A Smart Solution for Serious Vacation Rental Operators
Vacay Home Connect is a service-based channel manager—not just some software—and that's exactly why we use them. Their team handles the setup, connection, and ongoing management of our properties across Booking.com and other distribution channels, which removes a major operational headache for us. Instead of troubleshooting channel issues internally, we rely on their expertise and hands-on support to keep listings live, accurate, and compliant with each channel's requirements.
