Step 2: Amenities

In the Step 2: Amenities section, all the necessary information about the property and its layout can be specified. It is possible to adjust the number of rooms, their type and any other information that is relevant, including rules for the future guests and amenities.

After being reviewed, amenities are mapped between Rentals United and the Sales Channel. However, please note that not all of them can be successfully mapped, as they appear variously for Rentals United and Sales Channel. In order to learn the details of the mapped amenities, it is possible to request a full summary of mappings. In order to do that, contact the Rentals United Support Team.

Number of bedrooms

Number of bedrooms refers to the overall number of rooms intended to sleep.

Number of bathrooms

Number of bathrooms refers to the overall number of bathing rooms with a shower or a bath.

Vrbo automatically adds a bathroom to your property. If the property does not have a bathroom room type, Vrbo will create a bathroom with one toilet automatically.

Vrbo requires at least one bathing amenity and at least one toilet amenity in order to for the rest of the bathroom amenities to be synchronised. If you have multiple bathroom amenities added to the bathroom room type and you want them to be visible under this bathroom room type in the Vrbo website, you need to add at least one amenity from each set below:

The bath or shower amenities:

• bath with shower (ID: 52)

• shower (ID: 239)

• jacuzzi (ID: 253)

• bathtub (ID: 315)

The toilet amenities:

• toilet (ID: 37)

Please, refer to Amenities distribution across rooms to see which bathroom amenities are mapped to which bathroom-type rooms.

Number of toilets

Number of toilets refers to the overall number of WCs.

Kitchen

Kitchen refers to the separated kitchen area within the property. If you tick the separate kitchen checkbox, then a kitchen room type will be created at your property. In Rentals United it is treated as a room type. However, it will be synchronized with Vrbo as an amenity.

Bedding composition

The Vrbo only accepts beds if they are distributed across rooms in Rentals United in the Room-Specific Amenities section of Step 2: Amenities. Hence, in case some beds are inserted in the General list of amenities, these will not be synchronized with the Vrbo.

Amenities distribution across rooms

Amenities distribution across rooms refers to the way amenities are distributed across the rooms. This gives a better understanding of what can be found in each room.

Vrbo accepts not only the list of amenities available for the property, but also amenities available for each room. There are, however, some limitations, as each room accepts only a specific set of amenities. Hence, any amenity cannot be selected for any room. Not accepted amenities will be transferred to Vrbo as a part of the General section.

• bidet

• bath with shower
