August Home for Vrbo-first hosts
Hosts whose primary channel is Vrbo or HomeAway, typically larger properties or family rentals.
Our verdict for Vrbo-first hosts
Consider alternatives
August's headline integration is Airbnb-specific. Vrbo-first hosts won't get the auto-code benefit that makes August compelling in the first place.
What might bite you
- No documented native Vrbo integration in August's Works With list
- You'd be paying for hardware whose marquee feature you can't use
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Aqara Okay fit — consider alternatives
Same story as Airbnb — the locks themselves work for Vrbo stays, but Aqara doesn't talk to Vrbo or any PMS that fronts it.
From $169.99 • No free trial · Affordable, ecosystem-friendly smart locks for hands-on small-portfolio hosts
- Level Home Okay fit — consider alternatives
Vrbo hosts get the same aesthetic and Keypad benefits, but no first-party Vrbo automation.
From $199 • No free trial · Premium aesthetics, but a poor fit when you need PMS-driven access automation
- Operto Access Okay fit — consider alternatives
Vrbo operators using Hostaway, Guesty, Cloudbeds, or Hostfully can plug Operto in as their access layer; the integration set is PMS-anchored rather than channel-specific.
