This website has been perfect for me to send to prior renters so they can avoid the additional fees from vrbo and Airbnb.

Thank you — this is exactly the sweet spot. Sending your prior renters straight to Houfy so they skip the VRBO and Airbnb fees is precisely what we initially built this for. Glad it's working for you.
Our listing was easy to create and payment simple to set up. We appreciate you offering this option as the other companies are just becoming so unreasonable for our guests to pay all of the fees. Thank you!

Thank you! Giving hosts an option where guests aren't buried in fees is the whole reason we exist. Glad the listing and payment setup were painless, and grateful to have you here.
Houfy is a great option if you’re looking to save a bit when booking vacation rentals. It’s cheaper than other platforms since there are no extra service fees, which makes a big difference. I also like that you can connect directly with hosts; it feels more personal and straightforward. Overall, simple to use and definitely worth checking out if you want a more budget-friendly booking experience.

Thank you — this is the pitch in a nutshell. No service fees and a direct line to your host is exactly what makes the difference, and it's great to hear both landed for you. Appreciate you taking the time.
Jonathan and Valerie are wonderful, attentive hosts! The house is beautiful and accommodates our group very well! We have already booked for next year!

Love this. Attentive hosts, a beautiful place, and a booking already on the calendar for next year — that's the whole dream. Thanks for sharing it.
The house and location are. Perfect. The owners instantly responsive. Can’t think of any improvements needed.

Thank you — a perfect place and instantly responsive owners is exactly the kind of stay we hope every guest finds. Most of the credit there goes to your hosts. Glad it all came together.
I am very new to short-term rentals and I appreciate the contract and insurance that were offered. There was also a warning about a last minute reservation that I should have heeded. My Ring doorbell helped me stop a party before any damage was done.

Thank you — and welcome to the world of short-term rentals. Glad the contract and HoufyProtect gave you some peace of mind starting out, and even more glad you caught that party before it became a problem. Trusting that last-minute warning (and your Ring) is exactly the instinct that protects hosts. Wishing you a great start to hosting.
So easy to get house listed! Customers found chat feature and booking easy! Once I figured out calendar it was much easier to get bookings
