What makes a vacation rental stand out?

In this episode, we sit down (by the fire) with Tim Rosolio, Vice President of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Expedia Group, for a true fireside chat about Vrbo’s Vacation Rentals of the Year and the standards behind the recognition.

Recorded at Lakefront Escape on Squam Lake, New Hampshire, one of this year’s winning properties, the episode also features owner David Rose, who shares how intentional design, intuitive technology, and thoughtful recommendations help create a more memorable guest experience.

We discuss:
⭐ How Vrbo selects its Vacation Rentals of the Year
⭐ Why guest experience goes far beyond the home itself
⭐ How David Rose designed Lakefront Escape with intention
⭐ Why intuitive technology matters more than flashy features
⭐ How thoughtful details can shape a more memorable stay
⭐ How personalized recommendations can strengthen the guest experience
