Vrbo recently updated their connection and authentication process. Because of these changes, Hospitable now supports Vrbo connections through our official Google Chrome Extension.

This guide walks you through installing the extension, connecting your Vrbo account, and ensuring the connection remains stable.

Download the "Hospitable - Vrbo Connection" Extension here

Before You Begin

Please confirm you have:

  • Google Chrome installed

  • Access to both:

    • Your Hospitable account

    • Your Vrbo Owner Dashboard account (in Owner Mode, not Traveler Mode)

1. Install the Hospitable Vrbo Chrome Extension

  1. Open Google Chrome.

  2. Visit the Chrome Web Store link for the extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hospitable-vrbo-connectio/pmennafhbfkfibocheiebliafghnaccc).

  3. Click Add to Chrome → Add Extension.

  4. Click the Jigsaw/Puzzle icon in Chrome → Pin the Hospitable extension for easier access.

Once pinned, the extension icon should remain visible in your browser toolbar.

2. Connect Vrbo to Hospitable

Log into both accounts

In the same Chrome profile:

  1. Log into Hospitable.

  2. Log into your Vrbo Owner Dashboard (ensure you're in Owner Mode).

Open Vrbo account settings

Inside Vrbo:

  1. Click your Profile Icon (“the little person”).

  2. Select Account Settings.

Authorize the connection

  1. Click the Hospitable Vrbo Extension icon in your Chrome toolbar.

  2. Click Authorize.

  3. The extension will securely connect your Vrbo account → Hospitable in just a few seconds.

You should now see Vrbo listed as Connected in Hospitable.

🚨 Note: Do not log out of Vrbo once you've authorised access. The connection to Hospitable will only stay active as long as you're logged in.

3. Support for Multiple Vrbo Accounts

To avoid Vrbo login conflicts, we strongly recommend using separate Chrome Profiles, each dedicated to one Vrbo Owner account.


Vrbo only allows one Owner login per browser profile. Using separate Chrome profiles prevents disconnections, mistaken account switching, or authorization errors.

How to set this up:

  1. In Chrome, click your profile picture (top-right).

  2. Select Add to create a new Chrome Profile.

  3. Log into the correct Vrbo account in that profile.

  4. Install the Hospitable Vrbo Extension in that profile (extensions do not sync across profiles unless you allow it).

  5. Connect that Vrbo account following the steps below.

🚨 Note: You'll need to stay logged in to each Vrbo account in each Chrome profile for Hospitable to continue syncing with Vrbo.

4. Verify the Connection

After authorization:

  1. Go to Hospitable → Connected Accounts.

  2. Confirm Vrbo shows as Connected.

  3. Optionally, sync a listing to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
