Free Vrbo Channel Manager — Plus 30+ More Channels

Most channel managers charge per-unit distribution fees that eat into your margins. Escapia doesn't.

With Escapia's built-in channel manager, you get:

• Zero distribution fees to Vrbo

• 30+ additional fee-free direct connections, including FindRentals, HomeToGo, and more

• Automated calendar sync across all channels to prevent double bookings

• Centralized inbox with Vrbo scheduled messages — set automated guest communications to trigger at exactly the right moment (e.g., 5 minutes after booking, 48 hours before check-in)

Extend your reach with EscapiaConnect

Need access to even more booking sites? EscapiaConnect is an optional channel management solution built into Escapia. It adds 15+ connections, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Google, and more, for one low, flat rate per property.

EscapiaConnect has a monthly per-property fee, and additional distribution fees may vary by connection. You can choose the distribution approach that works best for your portfolio.
