Once you find the perfect vacation property, you can Book and Pay or Ask Questions
Once you find that perfect vacation rental, it’s easy to book and pay securely online. Listings that have a “Request to book” button allow you to immediately submit a booking request—and owners / managers have 24 hours to accept your request. When booking and paying online, always be sure to pay through HomeAway checkout so that your payment is covered by our Book with Confidence Guarantee™.
If a listing doesn’t offer either of the options above, look for a “birdhouse shield” icon on the listing page, as that icon indicates that the listing offers an approved payment option through HomeAway. In this case, just ask the property owner or manager to send you a payment request and instructions through HomeAway. When you do complete a payment through our checkout process, this will ensure your payment is protected.
Property owners and managers are available and happy to answer any questions you may have prior to—and after—booking. Plus, they are strongly encouraged to respond to inquiries within 24 hours.
Communicating on the go is easy once you’ve created your account—the tools you need such as our full-featured mobile all are at your fingertips and owners / managers are encouraged to respond within 24 hours.
