We use both. There is one VRBO that we rent yearly for a couple nights.

Other than that, it was been anywhere from a week to a month. I like VRBO because the owner is usually nearby. That is not always the case with AirBnB.

I had one monthly VRBO reservation that the host canceled with my permission. I was a little concerned, but it worked out. As an owner, he said he had nothing but issues with VRBO. He’d already wasted many hours on the phone with them and no resolution in sight. He asked if I’d be willing to pay him directly and he offered me a discount if I would. He canceled and I received a full refund. I figured I had little to lose that way. I don’t think I paid him until day 3 of our month long stay,
