Stop paying Hostaway 1.5–3% per booking forever. A direct-booking platform you own.
Airbnb + VRBO channel sync (we INTEGRATE the channels, replace the marketing & guest UX), dynamic pricing, owner portal. For STR operators with 20+ properties tired of platform-rent compounding. Typically 10–18 weeks.
Hostaway integrated as the channel manager; the marketing + direct-booking flow is yours.
Trusted by 50+ operators, PropTech companies & digital-first brands
Built for these operators
Single-property villa brands
Boutique luxury villa operators.
Portfolio operators
20–250-property aggregators competing with Airbnb.
Branded resort + villa hybrid
Hospitality-led vacation rental brands.
Multi-region STR
Cross-country STR brands needing multi-currency + multi-locale.
Who this is NOT for
- Operators with under 10 properties. Hostaway / Guesty's monthly fee will be cheaper for you.
- Anyone trying to fully replace Airbnb / VRBO distribution. Those channels are demand sources you keep; we replace the marketing surface + direct-booking flow.
- Pure single-night-stay short-stay arbitrage. That's a different operator type.
Pick the stage that matches you
Boutique STR
10–30 properties
Direct-booking site + channel manager. Typically 10–12 weeks.
Mid-market portfolio
30–100 properties
Multi-property + guest app + owner portal + dynamic pricing. Typically 12–16 weeks.
Enterprise STR
100+ properties, multi-region
Multi-region + dynamic pricing engine + AI ranking. Typically 14–18 weeks.
The traps that tank a custom build
Custom builds drift
Without weekly checkpoints scope creep tanks the launch date and the budget.
Schema goes stale
AEO-eligible markup needs to be regenerated continuously, not hand-edited once.
PMS / CRM / web silo
Three tools run separately and reconciling spreadsheets costs more than the build.
No cost guardrails
Per-tenant + per-feature cost is invisible until the bill arrives.
Compliance afterthought
GDPR, RERA, MLS, KYC bolted on at the end is 5× the cost of building it in.
Coming from a SaaS you've outgrown?
Per-booking SaaS commission stacks up. Owned platforms recoup it.
Hostaway
Most-common migration. Hostaway often retained as channel manager; marketing + guest UX moved to owned.
Guesty
Operators tired of per-property + per-booking fees compounding past 50 properties.
Lodgify
Smaller operators graduating from template-grade to platform-grade.
Hostfully
1 engagement
Operators wanting fully-branded guest experience.
The full stack, end-to-end
Direct-booking site
Multi-property listing + booking + payment. SEO + AEO optimised.
Channel manager
Sync with Airbnb, Booking, VRBO, direct. Per-channel pricing rules.
Guest app
Pre-arrival, in-stay, post-stay flows. Branded to your operator.
Dynamic pricing
Per-property pricing engine driven by demand + season + competitor pricing.
Owner reporting
Per-owner monthly statements + payouts.
Operator dashboard
Per-property occupancy + revenue + reviews + channel mix.
What you actually need, not what a template ships with
Everything above is a starting point. Your business drives the scope. Every module, field, workflow, integration, role and dashboard is shaped around your team, your reporting lines and the way you actually run the business. Anything can be added, removed or changed at any stage.
Your business, your scope
We start with what your business actually needs. Modules, data, reports and roles are mapped to your P&L, not a generic feature list.
Fully customisable
Fields, workflows, dashboards, permissions and integrations are all yours to shape. Nothing is locked behind a SaaS config wall.
Add anything, anytime
New modules, integrations, reports or user roles can be added at any stage. You own the roadmap and the code.
Change as you grow
Your operating model will change. So will the platform. We build the software to bend around new markets, entities and reporting requirements.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the engagement take?
8–24 weeks depending on scope. Single-vertical launches at the lower end; multi-region platforms at the upper end.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Every line, every model, every contract. Deployed to your cloud. No SaaS lock-in, no per-seat licence.
Can you migrate from a templated SaaS?
Yes. Most builds are migrations. We rebuild on Next.js with proper schema-first SEO/AEO, keep your URLs intact, and 301 the old paths.
Do you handle ongoing ops?
Yes. Most operators continue with us on a retainer covering content, SEO, paid, and growth experiments.
Operator-led overview of vacation rentals (str)
If you're scoping the vertical itself rather than the platform build, sub-verticals served, named clients, our operator playbook, the audience-led Vacation Rentals (STR) page is the better starting point.
