VRLBI is a local "by owner" real estate website geared towards the local LBI summer rental market. This system offers several advantages of the national rental websites like Homeaway and VRBO.
Renting a house by owner is a pretty simple process. You as the owner will speak with the potential tenant and vet them as much as you like. You will then book the week with the program of your choice and handle any issues that may arise. The potential challenge and the issue that many homeowners have are how to handle any potential issues that may arise. So long as you have a trusted group of contractors then it is usually pretty easy to manage.
The number one reason owners are switching to us is so they can remain in control of the booking process. Unlike listing sites that require you to take particular forms of payment or be down-ranked, make you select THEIR cancellation policy, and hide guest contact information, VRLBI lets you stay in the driver's seat!
We have subscription packages starting at just $199/year. That’s HALF what VRBO charges! Our subscriptions include a full featured listing description with 24 photos, a video, availability calendar, interactive map, quote generator, and review section. In addition, we allow you to display your name, company (or property) name, phone number and property website if you have one!
With VRLBI, guests book directly with you (or through your Realtor) without paying any service fees. Guests that you book directly will continue receiving owner direct prices so you can keep occupancy rates where they were without having to lower your rates to adjust for the service fee. As an owner, you make your own rules with regard to booking policies and guest screening, and bookings remain commission-free!
Guests know where they want to vacation, so why show them rentals in other areas? VRLBI only markets Vacation Rentals on Long Beach Island! Our search and filters have been customized to what LBI has to offer, giving our website visitors the abilities to search for LBI specific amenities. In addition all of our marketing efforts are targeted to those who vacation on LBI!
