About VacationRenter
VacationRenter is the fastest‑growing search engine for vacation rentals. We’re passionate about vacation homes, but we know how overwhelming and time-consuming it can be to find the right one. That’s why we created a simpler, smarter solution. Instead of browsing multiple sites and sifting through endless irrelevant listings, we bring the top options from major travel platforms together in one place and highlight only the most relevant results.

Founded in 2018, VacationRenter recently surpassed $1 billion in gross bookings in 2020, just two years after launching—making it the fastest‑growing travel company in history. It is also among the fastest‑growing websites across all industries, earning a spot on SimilarWeb’s list of the top 100 fastest‑growing sites in 2020.

VacationRenter was created within Wilbur Labs, a startup studio founded by former Google employees. The company leverages automation and AI to help travelers quickly find the ideal vacation rental.
