Airbnb and Vrbo on Put-in-Bay

Airbnb is an online travel agency that lists multiple lodging partners at once. They specialize in the vacation rental industry. We would like to suggest guests book directly with their lodging partner instead of booking with either Airbnb or Vrbo. The main difference between the two online travel agencies are that Airbnb will have more short-term smaller property stays and Vrbo will have more entire home listings. When booking with Airbnb for Put-in-Bay stays, be careful with their hidden fees.

Hidden Fees

Airbnb is not allowed to charge taxes in the state of Ohio. Therefore, when you make a reservation through Airbnb it is now up to the property manager of your rental home to collect the taxes on Airbnb’s behalf. For example, if your stay costs $1,000 on Airbnb, you will end up paying over $1250 after you include the Airbnb service fee,  cleaning fee, and the state of Ohio 13% tax. Vrbo is authorized to charge taxes in the state of Ohio. However, their hidden fees also cost the customer a pretty penny. In the end, it will always be cheaper to book directly your preferred lodging partner. So, BOOK YOUR HOME DIRECT OR BOOK YOUR HOTEL DIRECT.
