About Vacation-Rentals
Our Journey Begins: 2012
Vacation-Rentals was founded in 2012 with a vision to revolutionize the way people discover and book vacation rentals worldwide. We recognized an opportunity to bridge the gap between travelers seeking authentic, local experiences and the owners of vibrant properties eager to share their spaces. Our journey began as a passion project for co-founders Emma and Alex, who, after countless personal travel experiences, witnessed the challenges of finding reliable and diverse accommodation options.
