Vrbo recently provided data showing that listings using Map Pin—a setting that displays your property’s location on the map without revealing the exact address—perform better in search results and are more likely to convert to bookings.
Here’s why:

- Over 20% of Vrbo travelers use map search.
- Listings without a map pin may be excluded from neighborhood searches or appear inaccurately (e.g., on highways or water).

Why this matters
This change aligns with our goal to maximize your property’s visibility and improve your bookings. Rest assured, this does not expose your property’s exact address to travelers—only a pin showing the approximate location is used.
