Hostaway is a top-rated vacation rental channel manager that allows short-term rental owners or managers to list on multiple channels without worrying about syncing calendar data, messaging, and cleaners across booking sites. All reservations live in a single calendar, so hosts can avoid hustling between a dozen websites.

Run your entire vacation rental business from one convenient platform and get an overview of your reservations, nightly rates, and income. Benefit from:

• Channel management: seamlessly integrate with major booking sites and niche OTAs, ensuring real-time synchronization of availability, pricing, and calendars.
• Property management system: keep track of your bookings, manage inquiries, and engage with past and previous clients. Know exactly who's coming or going, and coordinate your team to enhance guest satisfaction.
• Centralized calendar: no need to open multiple tabs and sign into different websites. With Hostaway, you can manage all your listings from one calendar to eliminate mistakes.
• Unified inbox: are multiple guest inquiries driving you crazy? Hostaway's unified inbox consolidates messages from all connected OTAs into one centralized location. No headaches and better response times—win-win!
• Automated guest communication: bid farewell to manually messaging clients after every booking. Create automated messages for major events such as booking confirmation, check-in, check-out, and post-stay follow-ups, and stay ahead of your game.
• Revenue management: secure steady revenue throughout low and high seasons. Set up discounts, special offers, and longer or shorter stays with easy bulk edits.
• Reporting and analytics: track your vacation rental properties' performance with customizable reports. Make informed business decisions based on real-time data.

Both inquiries and bookings can be messaged and responded to within Hostaway. Bookings must be accepted via email or in-app using Crewdogs. There is no limitation to automated messaging. This will work the same as your VRBO and Airbnb hosting setup.
