Assumes 30% Vacasa fee vs. Lodgevine $299 one-time setup. Your actual savings may be higher depending on Vacasa's final negotiated rate.
Vacasa doesn't publish fees. Owners negotiate blind. One owner discovered their actual revenue was 50% higher than what Vacasa showed in their dashboard — a discrepancy that went unnoticed for months.
Vacasa adds pet fees, booking fees, and late check-out fees on the guest-facing side — and keeps 100% of them. These charges never appear in your owner statement.
Vacasa blocks your Airbnb and VRBO calendars, funneling traffic to Vacasa Direct where they earn higher commissions. You lose direct booking flexibility — and they gain a second margin layer.
