Limitations

You can connect only one Vrbo account to Guesty.

Before you begin

Complete all the steps below before beginning the connection process.

Important:

Skipping any of these steps prevents successful connection.

Connect your Airbnb account to Guesty

Airbnb provides the core integration setup and aligns settings across all channels, including Vrbo. Airbnb connection is therefore mandatory. Vrbo can't connect without it. Connect Airbnb to Guesty before attempting the Vrbo integration.
Disconnect any existing PMS or channel manager from Vrbo

If your Vrbo account is currently connected to another property management system or channel manager, contact Vrbo support to request the removal of any “Advertiser” or “Software” integrations. Wait for Vrbo to confirm the disconnection. This process can take up to two weeks.
Ensure your property is listed in Guesty

Check that your listing is listed and active in Guesty. Only listed properties will appear during the connection process. Unlisted or inactive listings cannot be connected.
Confirm your connection type

Review which Vrbo connection type applies to your account. This ensures you follow the correct setup process.
Verify access to your Vrbo contact details

Ensure you have access to the email and phone number registered with your Vrbo account. You'll need both for login and verification.
