HomeAway Acquires Social Vacation Rentals App Second Porch

Vacation rentals giant HomeAway has made an acquisition today—social vacation rentals platform Second Porch. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Second Porch, which launched in 2009, helps you find and share vacation rentals through your social circle on Facebook. The site's Facebook app allows owners create a free property listing that can be broadcast to your Facebook friends. The app also aggregates all listings onto a map from your friends (owners can also choose to let anyone on Facebook see their listings) and lets people search for rentals by location, rate or amenities. And of course, you can search or filter by properties owned by friends.
