If you're looking for a hands-off way to run a successful vacation rental, you need the best in technology. These tools let you do more than ever before without physically being at your property around the clock. Here are 9 types of tools perfect for any contactless vacation rental business.
OwnerRez
OwnerRez is a leader in vacation rental software, offering tools for marketing your property online and keeping it running smoothly. Track reviews and analytics, combine data from all sources including your website and online listing inquiries, and get a quick overview of all your bookings across properties at a glance.
Ring Video Doorbells
One of the best ways to know what's going on at your property and help deter crime. Always kept up-to-date in case anything suspicious occurs — whether a package delivery or an unexpected visitor — Ring is also a great way to monitor guests staying at the property.
PriceLabs
PriceLabs offers real-time pricing and availability for all your listings. Through the program, you can ensure your property is always front and center when someone searches for a rental in your area, and make data-driven revenue decisions without hours of manual research.
NoiseAware
An app-based tool that uses noise levels to determine if there's a loud party going on at your property. It sends automated alerts with details of where the noise is coming from — so you can address complaints before neighbors get involved or an unauthorized event gets out of hand.
RemoteLock
Makes it easy to lock and unlock your door from anywhere with keyless entry — no more lost keys. RemoteLock customizes a unique code for each guest, making it simple to secure your property between stays without being physically present.
StayFi
StayFi ensures you provide the best WiFi possible. It monitors data usage and speeds, and lets you collect guest information through a branded WiFi splash page that every user logs into — turning your internet connection into a guest data tool.
Ecobee Smart Thermostat
Ecobee automatically heats or cools your home based on occupancy, turning itself down when no one's around. The result: lower utility bills and more profit at the end of each month without any manual intervention.
Smart Lights
Invest in smart lighting to turn off lights automatically after guests check out or when the property is empty. Save on electricity bills while staying environmentally friendly — all managed from your phone.
Arlo Pro Outdoor Surveillance Cameras
Sends alerts whenever movement is detected and records footage so that if anything happens while nobody's around, you have the evidence needed to resolve disputes quickly and accurately.
