“(unknown current hero — generic travel-marketplace pattern)”
The hero shows a destination photo and a search bar. Nothing in the first viewport answers "why Vrbo over Airbnb?" — the question 90% of visitors arrive with. The whole-home differentiator is invisible at the moment it matters most.
“Whole vacation homes — no shared spaces, no surprises. Book a place your entire group will love.”
Names the differentiator (whole homes), names what you avoid (shared spaces, surprises), and names the buyer (groups). Answers the Airbnb comparison in one line.
