Home Away – aka Homeaway.com, Vacationrentals.com, Vrbo.com, etc. announces that they will be advertising in February 2010 Super Bowl.  Vacation homeowners and managers report receiving emails advising them that Homeaway based in Austin, Texas will be advertising during Superbowl XLIV in Miami, Florida.

Great news for vacation rental owners and vacation rental directories as this will help draw even more attention to the value of renting a furnished vacation home as an alternative to staying in a hotel.  We blogged about this in the past - trying to squeeze families in a hotel room is tough and of course there is no privacy - Read our previous entry here  “We Choose Vacation Rentals over Hotel Rooms!” 

Would not be surprised to see a commercial of a family trying to squeeze into a hotel room and then seeing the light and renting a vacation home?  Will be fun to watch the game and the new commercial.  Way to go Homeaway!
