Both Homeaway.com  and Vacation Rental by Owner(VRBO)  are widely used vacation rental sites for homeowners who want to rent their homes and make a few bucks. And for holiday or vacation-seekers, who'd rather rent a home in a preferred location, than spend money on a hotel room or inn.

But how do they compare?

We asked a consumer to work both sites on her computer and record her responses in real time. Just as they occurred to her.

You’ll hear suggestions, cautions and opinions about these two top vacation rental sites

Homeway, based in Austin, Texas, says it's the "leading marketplace of vacation rentals, representing 700,000 paid vacation rental home listings" in 168 countries.

VRBO doesn't seem to have an "About Us" page, which is disappointing, but  has a lot of testimonials and an interesting Community Section where users can share concerns and information, like the couple that thought it was fishy for a renter to ask for a social security number.

Of course there are many other vacation rental sites, like Cyberrentals.com and Vacation Rentals, but VRBO and Homeaway.com come up first in a typical Google search for "vacation rentals."
