How Is Vidle Housing Different from Airbnb or Furnished Finder?

While platforms like Airbnb and Furnished Finder are well-known, Vidle Housing was built specifically for traveling healthcare professionals — and that focus makes a meaningful difference. Here’s how Vidle Housing stands apart:

Updated today

Designed for Healthcare Professionals

Vidle Housing isn’t a general vacation rental platform. Every part of the experience is built with medical travelers in mind, including listings that prioritize:

  • Proximity to hospitals and medical facilities

  • Flexible, mid-term stays (30+ days)

  • Quiet, secure, fully furnished homes ideal for long shifts and recovery time

This means less searching and more confidence that a space will actually fit your assignment.


No Booking Fees for Travelers

Unlike Airbnb, Vidle Housing does not charge travelers booking or platform fees.

What you see is what you pay — no surprise service fees added at checkout.
(Only standard payment processing fees from Stripe apply, which are clearly shown before booking.)


Fast, Protected Booking

Furnished Finder often requires messaging multiple hosts, waiting for responses, and handling payments independently.

With Vidle Housing, you can:

  • Inquire and book directly on the platform

  • Use secure, verified payments through Stripe

  • Receive support from our team if something goes wrong

We also offer Guest Protection, helping resolve issues like misrepresentation, access problems, or uninhabitable units when reported promptly.


24/7 Human Support

Healthcare schedules don’t run 9–5 — and neither do we.

Our support team is available 24/7, staffed by real people who understand:

  • Night shifts

  • Last-minute assignment changes

  • Emergency housing needs

Whether it’s a late-night check-in or a quick question before work, we’re here.


Secure & Flexible Payments

All payments are processed securely through Stripe, a trusted, PCI-compliant payment provider.

Eligible bookings may also include payment schedules, helping travelers budget throughout longer assignments rather than paying everything upfront.


Exclusive Booking Perks for Travelers

When you book and check in through Vidle Housing, you unlock benefits designed to support you on and off the job:

  • Free FIGS Scrubs
    Receive a complimentary set of premium FIGS scrubs — including shipping — with access to multiple styles, colors, and sizes.

  • Complimentary Nurse.com Membership
    Enjoy a free one-year Nurse.com CE Membership with unlimited access to accredited continuing education courses.

  • BetterHelp Mental Health Support
    Each qualifying booking or extension includes:

    • One free therapy session with a licensed BetterHelp therapist

    • Ongoing access to BetterHelp’s self-guided tools, workshops, and wellness resources

These perks are included automatically — no extra sign-ups or costs.


Built for Your Career, Not Just Your Stay

Vidle Housing isn’t just about finding a place to sleep. It’s about supporting healthcare professionals through every assignment with:

  • Reliable housing

  • Transparent pricing

  • Professional growth resources

  • Wellness support

If you’re a healthcare traveler looking for housing that understands your work, your schedule, and your needs — Vidle Housing was built for you.
