About this supplier

Rent By Owner Vacation Rentals is a global accommodation search platform that helps travellers discover and compare vacation rentals, RBO homes and Airbnb-style stays. For party and event planners, it is especially useful when accommodation forms part of the celebration: private parties, group getaways, family gatherings, staycations, business travel and trips with friends can all be supported by the right house, villa, cottage or serviced rental.

The Durban listing context highlights an intimate private party venue in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, with a five-bedroom, three-bathroom house suited to short-term stays and group accommodation. Across the wider Rent By Owner platform, guests can browse millions of places to stay, including vacation homes, cottages, cabins, villas, condos, timeshares, resort rentals, hotels with suites and unique rentals. The platform also features special-stay categories such as luxury rentals, family rentals, pet-friendly vacation rentals, rentals with pools, oceanfront properties, beach homes, summer rentals, winter rentals and short-term stays.

Rent By Owner is designed for comparison. The platform brings together properties supplied by partners and selected owner or property-manager sources, helping users compare options from major online travel sellers such as Vrbo, Booking.com, Airbnb and HomeToGo. Each listing may include photos, amenities, policies, location information and other property details, allowing guests to assess whether a stay suits their occasion before completing the booking with the relevant partner or owner site.

For celebrations, this type of platform can be valuable when guests need more than a conventional venue. A whole-home rental can offer space for close friends or family, convenient overnight accommodation, and a more personal setting for relaxed private entertaining. Depending on the property selected, travellers can look for features such as pools, beach or oceanfront locations, pet-friendly policies, family-friendly layouts, luxury finishes or proximity to local attractions.

Although the featured listing is connected to Durban, Rent By Owner operates internationally, with a large network of properties across many countries, cities and destinations. Its coverage includes South African and global travel destinations, and the site specifically references Durban among its Middle East and Africa destinations. This makes it suitable for local KwaZulu-Natal stays as well as destination celebrations, holidays and group travel elsewhere.

Rent By Owner has been helping connect travellers with places to stay since 2013 and is part of the UpNext Group family of travel websites. Through TimeToParty, event organisers can discover this accommodation option alongside other party and event suppliers, making it easier to consider whether a private house rental, group stay or holiday home is the right fit for a private celebration in Durban or beyond.

My property is listed on your site. How did it get there?
At Rent By Owner, have listed the properties from our partners, including many online travel agents (OTAs) and direct via channel managers who distribute their inventory onto sites like ours, and the entire UpNext Group network. It is likely that you had agreed for the added distribution when you signed up with their services. We refer all our visitors to our partners or direct to our property owner’s sites and do not take bookings on our site directly. Our job is to help them promote their inventory and sell more travel and ensure that fewer nights go un-booked. There is no additional cost to listing on our network. If your property has been removed from a partner’s website, it is possible that we still have cached the listing or are in the process of having it be removed from our website. In time, it will also be unpublished from our network of sites. If you would like to remove it faster, please contact us and we will see if we can help.
Can I list directly on Rent By Owner?
Rent By Owner currently lists properties from our partners and a select network of online travel sellers. We are introducing functionality that will allow direct listings via select channel managers, bringing even more properties onto our network.

We will be updating this page as we start accepting more direct listings.
I have specific questions about a property. (e.g., Can I bring my pet? Does it have a hot tub?)
Each property listed on our website has a detailed listing. These listings often include photos, amenities, property policies, and more. This information has been received from our partners, directly from the property manager/owner themselves, or from information we have managed to find online about the property from multiple sources. This has also included information we may have extracted from analysing the images of the photos, the neighborhood in which the property is located, or similar properties in the same complex. However, Rent By Owner is not responsible or liable for the accuracy of these results. While we attempt to be as accurate as possible, should you have a specific question or concern, we encourage you to contact the property owner directly via the website to which we refer you to.
How accurate is the pricing shown for a particular property?
We strive to show accurate pricing for a property based on the lowest nightly rate we have been able to find for a property. For the most accurate pricing, please input your date range and search for the property. You will be referred over to the partner or the property owner’s own website to confirm the specific pricing.

When did Rent By Owner launch?

UpNext Group helps travelers find the perfect place to stay, easily comparing rentals, condos, hotels, RVs, boats, activities, and resorts across an ever-growing network of niche travel brands and websites. Rent By Owner operates in multiple countries and languages.
How does Rent By Owner identify an eco-friendly or sustainable property?
Rent By Owner relies on the eco-score created by One Degree Left, a sister-company operated by parent company UpNext Group. This property looks at a number of factors to help score all properties based on a variety of sustainability factors. We believe that we can help elevate properties that have good environmental and sustainability practices. If we identify a property that has good practices, we will rank that property higher in our search results than other properties. By ranking these properties higher, hopefully they will be booked with greater frequency and nudge behavior by a small factor… by ‘one degree’ if you will. While it is not perfect, it is part of our commitment to driving more sustainable travel.
Why does Rent By Owner exist? What are your core values? What are you trying to achieve?
We believe life is better when you venture out and explore the world. You meet other people, you connect with family and friends, you do more business, and you have new experiences. In short, travel creates memories. Travel brings people closer together and fosters better understanding of each other and ourselves. At Rent By Owner, we are focusing on the Alternative Accommodations market. We believe this market encourages people to have a more authentic travel experience in the communities, homes, and places of others. Creating a direct connection between a traveler and an owner creates a more meaningful experience. Sharing cultures, recipes, local tips, insights, pride, activities, art, food, entertainment... sights, sounds, smells and senses. These are the memories worth sharing. Historically, Rent By Owner has been a meta brand, connecting travelers to travel sellers, and since 2013, this has served us well. We believe that by helping more than a million travelers, we now have a great base on which to build something new and spectacular. Going forward, we need to build closer relationships with both sides of the market--both travelers and owners-- so as to bring them together in new ys and into a deeper relationship with each other and the communities into which the traveler journeys. At Rent By Owner, we nt everyone to be an owner, just as we nt everyone to be a traveler. In creating more travelers, hopefully we are creating more owners. And in creating more owners, we will be creating more travelers. You can read more about our core values for UpNext Group here. We also look forward to showing you what we are creating in the months and years ahead. Stay tuned.

Very unprofessional company. Very poor administration and a struggle to get my deposit back despite promises to make payment. Beware how you deal with this company. They have now changed the rules that they wont pay the deposit into an international bank account. So you need to fly to South Africa to open a bank account to receive your deposit. Has all the markings of a scam to me.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Starr Point Beach House. The house s perfect and set in a beautiful location very close to the beach. The staff at the house were very friendly and even shed our cars! Thank you to Marlene and her team at The Beach House Letting Company for all their help with our booking and making our stay a memorable one.

The Beach houses were wonderful! The only drawback s that the 16 sleeper has only one geyser for 16 people. In winter this is awful and really didn't make people happy. The proximity to the beach and the lovely views were a great bonus.
Beach house staff and the company staff are lovely and pleasant to deal with. We will defintely be back!

We absolutely loved our weekend at the Jabulani Beach House. We will certainly be back. The house is very well run with everything in order and very comfortable. The staff are excellent, almost pre-empting what you need before asking and make it really feel like a proper holiday.
Wonderful place - absolutely no negatives to report.
