The vacation rental industry is segmented into two categories based on the management-style of a particular property. Some are rented directly from the homeowner and offer a more one-on-one reservation process. The homeowners often work with the travelers to ensure a memorable travel experience, offering tips and advice about the local places to visit while staying in their vacation rental. In contrast, other rental homes are overseen by property managers who operate more like a hotel. They generally manage multiple homes and have offices in the destination you're visiting. Both have distinct advantages and offer travelers more options when they're booking a vacation rental. The HomeAway sites offer both for-rent-by-owner and property managed sites.
