The Kuglers, who operate Hunter's Friend Resort in Branson. Missouri, have 14 years of experience in the short term rental market. Michael Kugler, who is VacaRent's CEO, said "While online rentals are well established, there is a growing unfulfilled need with property owners. We aim to give owners the best online destination for them to easily market their properties. The term "vacation rentals" is THE most frequently searched term online for vacation properties; it's a name I've had my eye on for a while and finally it's our brand. We're excited to leverage our name and our website to benefit both property owners and vacationers."
