Escapia’s position within the Elite partner group is grounded in two core strengths: close alignment with Vrbo performance and a full-featured platform designed for professional property managers.

Vrbo Performance and Optimization

As part of the Expedia Group ecosystem, Escapia is uniquely positioned to understand what drives listing performance on Vrbo. 

Supporting strong Vrbo results is a central focus across Escapia’s platform and services, and that focus is reflected in measurable performance outcomes for property managers.

Escapia customers who have switched from another software provider have seen an average 23% increase in booking value on Vrbo, with some property managers reporting significantly higher gains over time. These results are driven by a combination of reliable connectivity, data-informed pricing tools, and direct collaboration with Vrbo teams.

Key benefits include:

• MarketRates, informed by Vrbo MarketMaker® data, which enables real-time pricing optimization designed to capture higher-value bookings
• Direct Escapia-Vrbo Collaboration, where dedicated teams support listing optimization from day one
• Early access to new Vrbo tools and capabilities, allowing customers to adopt marketplace improvements as they become available
• Educational resources and webinars focused on Vrbo performance, promotions, and marketplace trends

Together, these capabilities help property managers better understand how their listings perform on Vrbo and where opportunities exist to improve visibility, conversion, and revenue.

Enterprise-ready property management tools

While Vrbo connectivity is a key part of Escapia’s value, our broader platform has been built over decades to support the operational needs of professional property managers.

Escapia provides:

• Vacation rental trust accounting to support complex regulatory and ownership requirements
• An Owner Portal that gives property owners clear insight into performance without adding administrative burden
• Flex Reporting, offering customizable, enterprise-grade reporting that gives teams deeper visibility into performance across properties and portfolios
• Flexible rates management tools that support both automation and hands-on control
• A centralized Communications Hub for managing guest conversations, documents, and quotes across channels

A focus on partnership and support

Technology alone does not solve the challenges of professional property management. Escapia invests heavily in support and training to ensure customers have access to knowledgeable teams who understand both the platform and the operational realities of managing a growing business.

This commitment is reflected in consistent support performance, including:

• 86% of support calls answered in under 60 seconds
• 9.2 out of 10 average customer satisfaction score across support interactions

Escapia’s support team works closely with customers across onboarding, optimization, and ongoing operations. These conversations do more than resolve issues — they inform product priorities, training resources, and future investments across the platform.

Consistency across platforms and performance

Vrbo Elite Connectivity Partner status reflects technical reliability, performance, and operational quality. Those same standards are echoed in independent, customer-driven recognition across the broader property management software landscape.

In 2026, Escapia earned multiple Best of 2026 badges from Gartner Digital Markets, based entirely on verified customer reviews collected through Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp. These recognitions highlight consistent customer satisfaction across ease of use, value, and support, reinforcing the same reliability and day-to-day usability that underpin Escapia’s continued Vrbo Elite designation.
