NEW YORK, October 28, 2025 — CasaVoya, the vacation rental platform that began as ManhattanBNB and offers exclusive vacation rental properties unavailable on traditional booking platforms, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking “Airbnb ID Search” feature, a direct challenge to Airbnb’s fee-heavy business model that puts money back in travelers’ pockets.

The innovative feature allows travelers to simply copy and paste their Airbnb search URL directly into CasaVoya to instantly discover if the same property is available for booking on CasaVoya’s platform, potentially saving users the exorbitant service fees that Airbnb charges on every reservation.

The launch comes on the heels of CasaVoya’s recent introduction of AI-Powered Search, which revolutionized property discovery by allowing travelers to search naturally by typing queries like “family trip over Thanksgiving” instead of wrestling with dates, filters, and rigid search parameters.

By operating as a trusted introduction service rather than a booking platform, CasaVoya eliminates the heavy commission structure that drives up costs on traditional platforms, thus positioning it as a strong alternative to Airbnb. This model keeps hosts happy by providing them with autonomy over guest relationships, while giving travelers access to high-quality properties at significantly lower total costs.

“We’re not just building features, we’re fundamentally rethinking how travelers should discover and book vacation rentals,” said Sunitha Mani, Board Member and Growth Advisor at CasaVoya. “Between our AI-Powered Search that understands how people actually plan trips and our Airbnb ID Search that helps travelers avoid unnecessary fees, we’re creating a win-win where both hosts and guests keep more money in their pockets.”

The Airbnb ID Search feature is available immediately at CasaVoya.com and works seamlessly across desktop and mobile devices. Users simply copy their desired Airbnb listing’s URL, paste it into CasaVoya’s search bar, and instantly see if the property is available on CasaVoya. They can then proceed to request a short-term rental and connect with hosts directly—no platform fees.

CasaVoya continues to expand beyond its New York City vacation rental origins into major global travel hubs, bringing its regulation-resilient model and technology-forward approach to travelers worldwide who seek authentic stays at every price point.
