IMPORTANT: In order to use this feature, you must take the URL link from your Airbnb, VRBO and / or HomeAway listing from the TRAVELER VIEW. Ensure you are not logged into their platform as an owner or the URL link will not work.

Open a new tab on your internet browser to retrieve the URL link of your property listing on Airbnb, VRBO or HomeAway.
