Vacasa is a vacation rental property management company based in Portland, Oregon. It provides comprehensive property management services for over 2,100 vacation rentals in Belize, Mexico, and the United States in which it manages properties in fourteen states: Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Vermont, Texas, Maine, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Hawaii.[2]

In June 2014, Vacasa topped the list of Fastest-Growing Private 100 companies by the Portland Business Journal with an established three-year growth rate of 3,034.59%.[4] In August 2014, it was named the #9 fastest-growing privately held company in the nation by Inc. Magazine in its annual Inc. 5000 list with an updated 3-year growth rate of 16,192%.[5]

The company has been recognized for its advanced rate algorithms,[6][7] green initiatives,[8] and unconventional personnel selection. Its chief strategy officer once asked a round of marketing applicants to design sales flyers, rather than resumés, detailing why they would be the best candidates for the job.[9]
