If you're a host you definitely want to get on this site and grow a high volume business; if you're a traveler you've got some nice properties to choose from. I'm very impressed with the quality of support they offer, ... if you're a host you know how important it is to have knowledgeable support. Sophia is my favorite she immediately returns my calls, very impressive. I get a lot of inquiries and bookings from the site and I really appreciate their professionalism: it's so important to host and travelers both, to know you're dealing with professionals who not just know but understand the industry. Thank you, Jus and Michael

I received an unsolicited call one morning from Sophia. She told me about the Rentbyhost site. Not sure I wanted to spend the time to build a second site to advertise my vacation home property, Sophia quickly convinced me she would do all of the work and I would have the platform I was looking for--direct access to potential renters without interference. The next morning the site was created--entirely by Sophia using my photos and information. We spent a few minutes tweaking how the information was presented, refining details and it was done. It couldn't have been easier. Sophia is excellent. She is responsive, really knows her site and the competitors' sites. She is very tech savy, patient and helpful. She continues to be responsive to emailed questions and doesn't hesitate to pick up the phone to help with a question.

I worked with a lady named Sophia. She was extremely knowledgable, patient and kind. Her professionalism caused me to list 3 more properties that I did not intend to list today (for a total of 4) I am looking forward to working with this company. So far it has been very easy and smooth. I highly recommend other hosts to give it a try.

Martie Taylor

Great Site! We have received lots of inquiries that have converted to rentals. Brenda is always very helpful and creates wonderful listings for us.

Patti

I get many inquiries from this website and the pricing of advertising is so much less than most sites. Sophia is such a huge help with anything I need or any question I have. Just renewed again with all my properties.

Sophia was very helpful in getting our two listings set up on RentbyHost. They can even integrate and pull dynamic pricing in with API connection. Her team did all the setup work based on my existing Airbnb listings and did a fantastic job. I only made minor adjustments after the listing went live as I had updated photos. I had tried listing on another by owner site and only received an inquiry about once every two weeks. So far with RentbyHost I have received 10 inquiries in two weeks. I am confident with this level of traffic my direct bookings will increase.

I very was skeptical to join as I spent quite a bit of money in the past with other "host" companies claiming to expand the short term rental business. Well, after being with Evolve and Host Beyond and only obtaining ONE booking in about 5 months, I cancelled. Went on my own, made a web site and using only social media for advertising, I was able secure a number of bookings. Couple of weeks ago I joined Rent by Host and found that I am getting more traffic on my website. So for a minimal annual fee, I am extremely pleased with this site. Also the support has been really good. Well worth the money to join.

Linda knows her stuff! Very helpful in getting my property listed! Thank you Linda!

Linda

As a host, I received a 30 day reservation which was a surprise as I get most of my business only through Airbnb & Vrbo. I was skeptical but this particular marketing venue proved true. Give it a chance. I like the concept of direct with owner.

Cristen Chambers

Recently rented from Lynn at the Grand Panama in PCB. Perfect location right on the gulf! Lynn was the perfect host. Lives on site . Always available to help with anything! We rented ground level and unit was perfect! Close to the pool, the beach and the tiki hut. Convenient to anything you want to do! We took our 2 poms and perfect for them. We will definitely stay with her again! Condo was as pictured!

I did not have any inquiries before I listed my property with Rentbyhost and as soon as I listed my property I got 4 inquiries and 1 booking in the span of 16 hours or less. Thank you Rentbyhost , you made a believer out of me.

First time using the site, very nice experience.

Don Taylor

Excellent site! Easy to use. Fantastic customer support.

Cynthia Hedlund

Excellent, easy to use website. Thank you!

Jeanne Boardman

I have limited experience with this website but thus far I have found it easy to use. I appreciate the "message box" which gives one the opportunity to speak directly to the host.

Breate Crother

I was incredibly impressed with this unit – it was spotlessly clean and situated in a peaceful location, yet conveniently close to the beach, amazing dining options, and shopping spots. The host was absolutely fantastic too! They were quick to communicate, provided a fantastic list of recommended restaurants and activities, and even reached out to warn us about inclement weather. Our entire vacation experience with this unit was outstanding, and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again in the future.

Jen Chada

Sophia was persistent and quite fierce in offering us a valid solution to our issues with Vrbo/Expedia which have been growing for over a decade. Although we're already booked for this season, the deal offered by RentByHost is a compelling start to being able to enjoy the process once again without being gouged by commissions and taking a large fee from our clients. We're hopeful for how it all works out. Our biggest concern is how a small company can directly address the behemoth and get us quality, consistent listings. Thank you for sharing in our goal.

George Linzee

We just went live with RentByHost.Com. We want to sing our praises for Sophia White, our account manager, who did an amazing performance arranging our site and setting up our account. She was patient, kind, responsive to our requests, willing to solve challenging problems, and just a wonderful person to work with. She is a credit to her company. Thank you Sophia! George and Jean L, Innkeepers, Silvershell Inn.

Patricia VanWinkle

I started on this website with just one property and was so impressed that I moved all 15 of my properties. Very easy to navigate and you can reach customer service immediately. You speak to "a real person" every time. Highly recommend!

Jus and Michael B.

Love the website for so many reasons... Captures 'Serious' guests Offers a 'Great Name' for Search Engine Easy to navigate and beautiful to look at. I love the service I get from my representative, she is most professional and knowledgeable in setting us up and keeping us successfully booked throughout the year. Michael and I would highly suggest that you join us here on RentByHost, where you will find YOUR rental(s) A 'Forever Home'. Thank you "my Sophie-girl!" for all your help in keeping us booked. Jus and Michael B.

Toni Ford

Sophia did a great job helping me. Thank you so much

Conrad Kraus

I was assisted with the web site by Sophia at Rent By Host. I didn't have my rental up to date with this site and she was able to help me, one, two, three. I got done quickly and accurately with her assistance and the easy programing of the site. Now I can get rentals knowing that if the traveler reads the policy of the HOA and myself they can make a more accurate decision. It was a pleasure speaking to Sophia.

Daniel

This is a fantastic site, especially to save you, the renter, lots of money...Book Direct!

Edward

We get about 30% of our bookings through Rent By Host - a fantastic alternative to VRBO and Airbnb. Using this website is a snap and booking direct means no traveler fees for guests and no commissions for owners.

Mark Skolnick

Sophia from RentByHost.Com has been great right from the beginning. She helped me set up my listings and has followed up with me over the last 2 weeks to make sure everything is perfect with my listing. Anytime I call or send an e-mail she is right on top of calling me back or e-mailing. Very happy so far with my experience with Sophia and fine=dhomeaway.com.

Valencia Williams

Sophia, Thank you for all of your assistance! You were such a great help and a wonderful resource for me, especially since I am new to this process. I will absolutely be renting from one of the owners listed on your website, thanks to you! I appreciate you and am grateful that I was able to speak/work with you regarding my vacation! All the Best!

Robin Saunders

I was so please to be introduced to rentbyhost.com a Trusted Vacation Rental site. I have been a Timeshare owner in Cabo San Lucas for over 25 years and at first there were some sites to promote my rentals on, however over the years the increase "hidden fees" to not only the owner but to the renter as well not being able to contact each other was difficult. Now with the low cost and ability to contact each other direct from beginning to end made the process of renting secure and easy for all involved. I was pleasantly contacted by Barbara a representative who assured me I would have support through-out the listing process and any time I needed guidance she would be there. I now have three sites active and Very Pleased with all the effort, guidance, suggestions and support I received through-out the listing process. I Highly Recommend rentbyhost.com to Vacation Weeks Owners and to Homeowners with a Vacation home to rent. Happy Renting to All...... Regards, Robin Saund

My Vacation Rental business with RentByHost.Com and tourists got in touch from the world to book my villa. I would certainly recommend it.

Jill Smith

It was very difficult for me to trust any website but I was not happy with vrbo changes and I was looking for an option and then I came to know about RentByHost.Com and I did search on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and read Blogs and contacted other property owners which has made me believe on RentByHost.Com and now, my business is on right track as it was.

peggy Seva

I set up a vacation rental business in Miami, per my friend’s advice . It is a booming tourist destination where tourists group in a large number. For the listing of my property, I contacted Angela. She was very helpful and cooperative to me. She listed my property, giving complete details of my rental house in Rent By Host.
