Your eyes on the property

Your eyes on the property, even from hundreds of miles away.

Your cleaner or maintenance pro works the job in VacayOps. They finish a photo checklist on their phone, the photos attach to the task, and you see the property is ready — from your kitchen table or another state. No chasing texts, no guessing.

  • Invite your own local cleaner or handyman as a team member — they get an email to set a password and sign in
  • They see the jobs you assign, work the checklist and upload photos from their phone — the Android field app or any phone browser
  • You open the finished task and see the photos before the guest arrives
  • Record what you pay them as a bill — it files itself into your year-end tax pack
One record

You and the people you hire, in the same system.

Owners, managers and service providers work in one system: the checkout creates the clean, the crew’s photos land on the task, and the owner sees the stay and the statement. Unlimited users, nothing re-typed.

  • The checkout creates the clean; your cleaner sees it without a phone call
  • Unlimited users — adding a second cleaner or a handyman costs nothing
  • If you hand the properties to a manager later, they take over the same record

What you actually get

Everything between a booking and a five-star review — and the report at the end of the year.

Your own booking website — even for one property

A direct-booking site for your rentals on your own domain, with live availability and checkout on your own Stripe or Slim CD account. Guests pay your price; VacayOps takes no booking fee. Repeat guests book you, not a marketplace.

One calendar behind every channel

Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Google Vacation Rentals, and Hopper connected directly. Change a rate or block a night once and every listing follows — no double bookings, no channel-manager bill.

Every guest conversation in one inbox

Airbnb, Vrbo, email and SMS threads in one place, with AI-drafted replies you approve in a tap. Check-in instructions and door codes go out on schedule without you.

Cleans that schedule themselves

A checkout creates the clean; a same-day check-in flags it as a turnover. Your cleaner gets the job without a text from you.

Rate rules from your own numbers

Seasons, day-of-week, last-minute windows and orphan nights, with a floor built from what a clean actually costs you. Priced from your business, not from a market feed.

Your own books, and the tax pack for your accountant

Your rentals’ books build from your bookings and the bills you record — what each property earned, what it cost and the lodging tax collected. At year end the tax pack puts it on Schedule E lines, per property, as one PDF. No trust ledger: the money is your own.

Nothing you will never use

No sales pipeline, client invoicing, owner statements, ticket desk, laundry module or phone system cluttering the menu. The time clock appears only if you put someone on hourly pay.

Works with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com

Connects to Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com through the VacayOps channel manager, so jobs and calendars stay in sync with your listings.

What the Property Owner plan does — and does not — include

It is priced for an owner — $19 against $29 for the Full Platform — because it leaves out the layer a management company uses to run its business. Here is exactly where the line falls.

No venture capital

Self-funded by people who run rentals. Our roadmap comes from operators, not from a board looking for an exit.

No seat fees, no markups

Add every cleaner, inspector and office hire at no charge. We never take a cut of a booking on your own website, and Airbnb payouts are untouched. On Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia payments, our payment partner’s fee (currently 0.5%) is passed through at cost.

No contract

Month to month with 30 days' notice. We keep you by being worth it, not by locking you in.

Questions owners actually ask

How do I know the property is ready if I live hours away?
Your cleaner works the job in VacayOps on their phone and finishes a photo checklist. The photos attach to the task, so you open it from wherever you are and see the finished property before the guest arrives.
Can I bring my own cleaner or handyman?
Yes. Add them as a team member and they get an email to set their password. They see the jobs you assign them, work the checklist and upload photos — in the same system you use. Unlimited users, so a second cleaner or a handyman costs nothing extra. Record what you pay them as a bill and it lands in your year-end tax pack.
Do they need to download an app?
No. Your cleaner can sign in from the browser on their phone and add it to the home screen. On Android they can also use the field app from Google Play; the iPhone app is coming soon.
I only have a handful of properties. Is this too much software for me?
That is why the Property Owner plan exists. It is the same system the management companies run, with the agency layer switched off: no sales pipeline, no client invoicing, no owner statements, no ticket desk, no laundry module, no phone system, and a time clock only if you put someone on hourly pay. What is left is the part you use every week.
Can I take bookings on my own website, even with one property?
Yes — the direct-booking website is part of the Property Owner plan, on your own domain, from your first property. Keep 100% of your direct bookings. No booking fee, no revenue share — card processing is billed by your own processor at its rates. To publish it you connect your own Stripe or Slim CD account, so guest payments land with you.
Do I still get the channel connections?
Yes — Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Google Vacation Rentals, and Hopper connect directly, with one calendar and one rate behind all of them. No channel-manager fee. Airbnb payouts are untouched. Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia payments are collected through our payment partner, whose fee (currently 0.5%) is passed through at cost, with no markup.
What does it cost, and am I locked in?
$19/property/month. No contract — month to month, 30 days' notice. No setup fee — onboarding, setup, configuration and training included. Your price is locked for the first 12 months. 14-day free trial — no charge until it ends.
How does the tax report work?
Under Reports you get a Year-End Tax Pack: gross booking revenue, lodging tax collected and expenses on Schedule E lines, per property, as a PDF or CSV for your accountant. Expenses come from the bills you record — your cleaner’s turns, the plumber, the insurance premium — so the pack builds itself through the year.
Do I need trust accounting?
No. Trust accounting is for management companies holding other people’s money. Your rental income is your own, so the Property Owner plan keeps your own books — what each property earned and cost, lodging tax and the Year-End Tax Pack — without a trust ledger.
I might hand my properties to a manager later. Do I lose my data?
No. It is your account and your data stays in it. A management company can run that same account on the Full Platform — we change the plan, and reservations, guest history, tasks and financials stay where they are.
