Emerald Coast By Owner has added more properties across Destin, FL, to its direct booking platform available as beachfront vacation rentals.

-- The expansion saw the addition of dozens of rental properties to ECBYO's catalog, enabling families to easily view and book rental-by-owner options that may not be listed on third-party sites. As they explain in their recent announcement, by connecting travelers directly with property owners, ECBYO removes the 6-20% fees imposed by third-party platforms, allowing budget-conscious vacationers to save hundreds of dollars on multi-night stays along the Emerald Coast.

Major OTAs have long added substantial fees to vacation rental bookings, with Airbnb charging guests between 10-14%, while VRBO typically assesses 6-12% on top of nightly rates. For families booking week-long beachfront stays in Destin, these charges can eat into funds available for dining, activities, and local experiences. ECBYO's model bypasses these intermediary fees entirely, enabling travelers to book the same properties at lower total costs while maintaining direct communication with owners throughout the reservation process.
The platform offers a selection of Destin accommodations, including beachfront condos, multi-bedroom beach homes, and townhomes suited to various group sizes and budgets. Unlike large OTA platforms that standardize communication, ECBYO facilitates personalized interactions between guests and owners, allowing travelers to ask property-specific questions, request local recommendations, and negotiate booking terms directly.
A spokesperson stated, "Destin Florida vacation rentals are some of the most desirable vacation properties on the Gulf Coast. Sunny skies, beautiful white beaches, emerald-colored waters, countless activities, attractions, and dining opportunities make Destin the perfect vacation site. Destin is your playground for deep-sea fishing, parasailing, jet skiing, or just taking in the sun."
This expansion is the latest chapter in a sustained period of growth for the platform; listings are now available across 5 states and nearly 100 cities. Following this expansion, ECBYO now maintains one of the largest rental-by-owner databases on the Gulf Coast, offering a valuable resource to those visiting the area.
Budget-conscious travelers interested in Destin beachfront rentals can browse available properties and connect directly with owners through the ECBYO platform. The service offers transparent pricing across a range of property types and price points, with no hidden fees or percentage-based charges added at checkout; Destin listings can be found alongside hundreds of other options at the link below.
