Google Vacation Rentals Overview

OwnerRez has partnered with Google Vacation Rentals (GVR) to provide an integrated API connection between the two systems. This allows OwnerRez users to handle their GVR listings and bookings efficiently. 

Unlike Airbnb and Vrbo, GVR does not host a live booking engine but rather displays your property listing information from OwnerRez on GVR. All booking traffic from your GVR listing is directed to your OwnerRez Hosted Website or Global Landing Page (aka Public Booking Linkfor commission-free bookings.

Users can expect a delay of 2+ weeks before their properties go live on Google Vacation Rentals due to a manual onboarding process by Google Vacation Rentals.

Millions of people worldwide use Google each day to plan their travels. Google Vacation Rentals (GVR) is a game-changer in the vacation rental industry because nearly every traveler visits Google at some point during their planning process. Guests rely on Google to research accommodations, share listings with their travel companions, and book their ideal lodging.

Integrating your property on GVR is one additional tool that can aid in generating direct bookings.

When your GVR listing appears in the search results, the number of clicks it takes for a potential customer to find your property and make a booking is reduced. Reducing the number of clicks required to book your property results in less friction and increased bookings. As a rental owner or property manager, you can gain unparalleled exposure for your listings, connect directly with potential guests, and drive more direct bookings.
