Portland OR-based vacation rental management company Vacasa has announced in a media release that with the integration of an Application Programming Interface, its customers will be able to search and book Vacasa properties via Google Hotel Search.

Vacasa - which manages about 14,000 vacation-rental properties in the Americas, Europe and Africa - is the first vacation rental management company to do direct API integration with Google.

Will Airbnb, Vrbo and others do the same? Will Google be the lodging category killer? Stay tuned.
