Condo rentals in Hawaii?

[lynne]

I think booking.com was acquired by Priceline, which is not part of Expedia. I know that when I go to booking.com, it's not the same inventory that I see at hotels.com or hotwire.

I've had some good results at Priceline. On about four or five occasions I've turned up inventory at booking.com that wasn't showing up at anyother sites. Sometimes it has been properties that show up as unavailable at other sites. But more often its been a rate that isn't available elsewhere, even booking directly at the hotel website. It's happened often enough that when I'm digging for a deal or I'm having trouble finding inventory in an area, I make sure to check booking.com directly

How would an individual owner of a home or condo be able to list their vacation rental on either booking.com or Priceline or for that matter I still think the two large vacation rental sites (Airbnb and VRBO) are the only business models allowing individual owners to post their rental properties. It would be great if there were other outlets that have an individual owner business model where the owner can define the property with property specific advertising. I do see that there are a number of properties that are owned by individuals within Mauna Lani Resort advertised on the https://homes-and-villas.marriott.com/ site. I am wondering how these owners were able to advertise through this site.

Just means they haven’t joined and paid fees.

Awesome experiences renting my weeks for last three years. Small outfit, believe a part of the StayPC.com family that seems to focus on ski weeks.

The link indicates out of business, I don't think that alert shows up if they just haven't paid fees.

No idea. I've not had a reason to investigate that question.

I pinged VC, since I have multiple listings there. They confirmed some impact from Covid, as I knew, but are still in business with staff working remotely. They just don't pay for the BBB listing/reviews, etc., which I can understand.
