I've had much more luck with VRBO/HomeAway and smaller regional sites (e.g. https://www.seashorevacations.com) than with AirBnB. Also looking forward to trying the Marriott vacation rentals as an option.
Feels like you get a more "traditional" type of vacation rental owner. More professional? More likely to outsource all the management to a professional management company? I've been scammed on AirBnB, never through any other site.
(The AirBnB scam was fortunately "only" the one where they switch you to a property in a different building because the one in the pictures is "under repairs". I didn't make too much of a stink about it because we had been traveling for a long time. But it's still fraud.)
