By far the best site to find LBI rentals. Many listings here are not on VRBO or AirBnb. And the rents are lower because there are no fees.

Absolutely love VRLBI. It meets all of our advertising needs for our beach house rental. Through our use of VRLBI, we've been able to rent all of our available weeks and even start a summer waitlist. VRLBI allows us to maximize profit and avoid high commission rates so we can keep rental prices fair and reasonable for our guests. Basically, our annual fee for all our advertising needs equals the commission we would pay to a real estate agency for just a ONE week rental. The customer service, communication, and tips they provide to their customers are all great. Highly recommend.

Duane is the reason I became confident in my choices when I began renting out my beach house. The website can be overwhelming. I suggest you take notes until it becomes familiar and easy to use. Updating our own listings really helps attract attention. Follow his advice on how to get renters! Responding asap, calling/ screaming them, etc… Another reason for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is Duane’s communication of important information affecting our (all VRLBI) rentals: legislation, advocacy, consumer trends, etc. He knows what he’s talking about. And is a good example of “if you possess knowledge, share it!”

VRLBI is the best! I have used their platform since we’ve rented our home, and will continue to do so. I’m able to deal with my prospective renters directly, which in my opinion, gives us the greatest potential for a successful tenant interaction and positive experience for all. In addition, VRLBI’s owner (Duane), offers suggestions on how to achieve maximum success in any given rental season. Don’t hesitate in using VRLBI. I’m 100% confident you will not regret it.

VRLBI makes renting my property a (sea)breeze. Renters can easily find my property and bookings are simple.

(2022) I am a new home / rental owner on LBI and I can't say enough positive things about Duane/VRLBI. Even before I signed up as a paying customer, he would go out of his way to provide me invaluable information about how to get started, things to watch out for, best service providers cleaning/linens/etc, and how to maximize rental revenue. My rental was filled within 6-weeks of going live, and I did not list on any other sites. I would 100% recommend this service and have told many friends already! (2023) I'm revisiting this review, because it has been another year with VRLBI. I am fully booked again! Duane/VRLBI's platform and insights were instrumental in getting my renters. I can't say enough positive things about them and their value proposition.

VRLBI has been a wonderful host to offer our vacation rental. The team has offered guidance and suggestions which have delivered. Many thanks for a well designed product and silent partner in our investment property.

Had a fantastic experience using VRLBI to rent our home. Absolutely night and day from the nightmare that is VRBO. The personalized customer service at VRLBI makes the whole process seamless. Not only is it a really well run site, it’s is also the best way to get results. My place was fully rented in less than two weeks, all with leads from VRLBI. I really appreciated the hands on help with my listing. The site is easy to navigate and edit. If you think you need to use the National sites for exposure, you’re wrong. VRLBI is the only site I’ll use going forward. The fantastic customer service and ability to speak directly to renters can’t be beat.

This is the BEST site for advertising and booking for rental homes on Long Beach Island. Looking for a place to stay; the island is divided into townships so an island location is easy to find. Also, there are no additional fees or site charges and now no NJ Tax. If you list your home on this site there are many benefits: the subscription fee is low, the site just covers LBI, no additional fees for your guests, guest contact info is provided immediately - you are in the driver’s seat. I have stopped listing on all other sites - all my rentals now come through VRLBI.

I was able to get a few additional rentals from VRLBI to support my primary source of AirBNB. It was definitely worth the small listing fee. Duane is extremely responsive. he provides excellent customer service, which is very hard to come by.

VRLBI has established itself as the the Go-To resource for vacation rentals in LBI. It is user friendly for property owners as much as it is for renters, reasonably priced and very transparent. It is kind of how vrbo used to be before it was take over by expedia. It is a clear all thumbs up site to the extent that I dropped other more nationally and internationally established sites.

I use vrlbi to list my home. It’s such a better value than listing with a realtor and I can talk to renters myself before sending out a lease. The cost to me is low and my renters don’t pay any additional fees which drive cost up by about 25pct on other online vacation rental sites. I have had questions about my listing and gotten almost immediately help. I also think for renters it’s a great option bc they verify ownership of homes so they don’t have to worry they are being scammed.

No hidden fees. Great communication, prompt response. High quality rentals. Never disappoints!

I would only use VRLBI. The owner was helpful setting up my site. I get to speak to the tenant before I decide to rent to them. You do t have any service fees when you rent it . The tenant pays a lot less because they don’t pay the occupancy tax and have no service fees.

I have been with VRLBI since Duane launched this great site for LBI owners and renters. It is super easy to navigate as an owner. Notifications are texted to me immediately when there is a potential renter, no time is wasted to reply to renters. Duane also emails updates on tax information and answered all my emails.

VRLBI has made renting our Beach Haven Bungalow very easy and efficient! It's excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to rent in LBI.

Great value and the owner Duane is very responsive. Unlike VRBO, you deal with the tenant directly and get paid directly. You don't have to wait for your rental $.

I have listed our vacation home on VRLBI since the website was released. VRLBI provides the service that I need without assessing me or my guests any fees. When I've had issues with the site, VRLBI promptly provided the assistance I needed. While I still have a listing on VRBO (commission basis) most of my rentals over the last few years have been through VRLBI. I highly recommend VRLBI for owners of rental properties.

I have been able to book my beach house rental quicker through VRLBI. I no longer need to use a realtor and pay a percentage of my rental income. I get many inquiries. Love VRLBI

Duane and staff were always readily available; they helped with any “issue” and took their time Never felt rushed As a property owner I always felt VRLBI would get us consistent bookings because the website was easy to navigate. We have recently sold our LBI house and it was a joy being a FAMILY member of the VRLBI community, Tim
