Vacation Rental Apps for Property Managers
Increase Efficiency
Owner App
Transparency for Owners
Make a good first impression when showcasing your software to your new owners. As an owner, it is great to have access to the availability calendar within two clicks – click to open the app, then click to view the calendar. Quick access to the availability calendar can help close a potential new client.
Here are just a few more of the many things you can do with our owner mobile app:
- Create owner bookings with just a swipe of the screen
- View future owner bookings with our in-app calendar
- Easily manage company contact forms so your owners can contact you whenever they need
- Send company news to owners with ease
- Create and view work orders on the fly
- Add pictures and comments so you can make work orders as specific and easy to understand as possible
- Toggle between units to view and manage their different calendars
Finally, one of the most creative and innovative areas of the app is the asset management portion. This allows you to inventory the assets in a unit. This would be used for larger items like TVs. When a TV breaks, you won’t have to call the owner to replace the TV. You will have inventory information with pictures and pricing. Even pictures of the original receipts on file to make any necessary replacements.
Property Care App
Housekeeping
The PropertyCare housekeeping mobile application simplifies the housekeeping process. It defaults to the language that is set on your phone (English or Spanish). Let housekeepers know which homes they need to clean. As they go through their list, they can click on complete, which will let the system know that the unit is clean and ready to check in.
Some users like to take this to another level. They want to integrate cleanings with inspections. After someone does a cleaning, they want to be able to inspect the unit. Our system allows you to create custom inspections for each individual home. This will allow your head housekeepers to make sure that everything is cleaned according to your standards. Remember, first impressions are important. We are now dealing with the guests, which are your first priority! Other functions include:
- A translation function that will translate a work order that was entered in Spanish into English for the system user
- The ability to close the cleaning or to force the cleaner to re-clean (if needed)
- Check-in, in-house and check-out reports which allows you to get a quick overview on what is going on
- The ability to easily generate work orders if housekeepers find something wrong with the unit while they are cleaning it – just click to add a work order and enter a few lines of information, along with pictures of the problem
Of course, you can dig in further for each reservation, but the purpose is to give you quick overview on who is checking in. All of this is meant to simplify and streamline, the housekeeping process.
Maintenance
Our PropertyCare maintenance mobile application is meant to bring control back to the maintenance team. By bringing maintenance managers, maintenance workers, and outside vendors together, we can make it easier than ever to make everything flow smoothly with your maintenance team.
Our maintenance app gives you (or the leader of your maintenance team) the ability to:
- Assign tasks to maintenance operators or to vendors
- Log in and view all tasks that are assigned to each operator or vendor (with priority, sorting, viewing, and specific details for each tasks)
- Log hours and cost of parts directly from their mobile phone
- Take before and after pictures when doing work so you can show pictures to your owners
- Link the maintenance team with the housekeeping team. Both apps are linked to maximize efficiency and increase the greater overall availability.
- Head operators can see all of their pending tasks, active tasks, pending closing and closed tasks. This will also allow them to assign operators, vendors, priorities, block out a unit if they find a serious problem and many more features.
- Multilingual functionality, so you don’t have to worry about tasks being lost in translation
One of the most important features that the maintenance app brings is the ability to create custom maintenance inspections. Give the owner more!!! Inspect their units every month and keep a history of what is going on with their unit. It will make their units more attractive for sales because you will have a history of the problems that have happened when you performed an inspection in their home. Like the housekeeping app, maintenance workers at a house, will always have the ability to create a work order.
Happy Stays App
Guest Mobile Application
Guests love to have personalized information that is given to them by their property manager, while also having a direct line of contact with their property manager. It’s that special touch that few property management companies provide. Fortunately, with our Guest Mobile Application, Happy Stays, you are able to customize your app – define any restaurants you want, allow the user to navigate directly to that restaurant, and enter any additional information, pictures, phone numbers, etc. Best of all, this is not just with restaurants; it includes practically anything.
One of the most valuable assets of this guest app is the ability to enter coupons and tips. For those of you with a relationship with local companies, you can utilize the coupons area to make more money. Let your guests take their app and show it at restaurants or other locations for a discount. Many local vendors will actually appreciate your contribution and marketing of their company.
Personalization to the guest is very important. Sometimes, they don’t know what to do or where to go during their vacation: this is where you and this useful app come in! Give them tips and advice, and help them have a good vacation. You can do all of this and more through our guest application!
Here are just a few other functions our Guest Application provides:

The needs of the vacation rental industry are constantly changing. We have seen the demand on pure websites, transition into mobile responsive websites.

Always remember that when you streamline your process and maximize efficiency, you WILL make more money. This is the mobile revolution. We are excited and will continue to stay miles ahead of our competition.
