There are two types of people who should listen to this podcast:
1. You have a vacation property that you'd like to rent out in a hassle-free way.
2. You're looking to rent a luxurious, professionally-managed home all for yourself (and your friends/family) on your vacation.
Vacasa has 10,000 homes in their portfolio.
You might think their competitor is Airbnb or Booking.com.
Not exactly.
A closer competitor would be FutureStay.
The main difference between FutureStay and Vacasa is that Vacasa offers far more service. Vacasa:
- Helps you pimp out your home.
- Takes professional photos and 3D tours.
- Provides cleaning service before each guest.
- Makes sure that your home is ideal for a vacation rental.
- Their pricing algorithm will optimize the
All these services come at a price. Vacasa takes a 25-35% commission and you have to upgrade your home-owner insurance to cover vacation rentals.
In contrast, FutureStay adds a 5% markup on top of whatever Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO charges. All FutureStay does is coordinate the calendars on all those sites, so you don't double-book your property.
Vacasa does much more. So if you want fewer headaches and you want a full-service solution, go with Vacasa, especially if you have a property that can be rented out most of the year.
If you're a do-it-yourselfer and you have the time, then FutureStay is probably better.
