About VacationFinder.com
Headquartered in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, VacationFinder.com is a privately owned company founded in 2014. What began as a bold idea by seasoned travelers and vacation rental veterans has grown into a trusted platform built on over 80 years of combined industry experience.
At its core, VacationFinder.com was designed to realign the vacation rental experience—putting guests and property managers back at the center. By eliminating commissions and booking fees, we empower property managers to earn more and travelers to spend less. Our platform champions open, direct communication between guests and local property professionals, fostering transparency, trust, and faster service when it matters most.
We believe in bringing the joy back to vacation planning. That means working with real people in real communities—not algorithms or absentee hosts—and making it easier to discover your perfect getaway with confidence and peace of mind.
