Airbnb Hosting Toolbox

Beyond revolutionizes the Airbnb experience with their innovative price algorithm. They collect a trove of information from visitor stats, hotel prices and other nearby listings to give you the best insight into optimal pricing for your rental. Plus - no need to worry about synchronization across platforms or compatibility issues!

Wheelhouse stands out as a must-have tool for Airbnb hosts, offering in depth market insights to inform pricing decisions. With the ability to customize listings with minimum nights stay rules, weekend variability rates and long or short term discounts, hosts can charge what they need.

Plus – Wheelhouse’s flexible payment options make it even more attractive; you'll only pay 1% of your listing's revenue or just $19.95 monthly per listing - perfect if you manage multiple properties!

In our opinion, Wheelhouse has a more sophisticated algorithm for predicting market trends before they happen. Unfortunately, they are only available in ~10,000+ cities and not as widely available as Beyond.

AirDnA is THE go-to place for Airbnb hosts looking for short term rental data for individual markets. With a subscription, you can access an array of analytics on rental prices and occupancy rates in your area - plus predictions of what any property could earn as an Airbnb! Boasting data from more than 6 million short term rentals worldwide, it's no doubt AirDnA offers invaluable insight into the world of market research!

AirDNA may have a Goliath-like stronghold in the short term rental research market, but All The Rooms is here to take on this behemoth. Offering robust access to data from any region for up to 4 years of historical information with their Pro subscription - it looks like David might just win!

Not only does All The Rooms offer comparable insights, one feature that stands out is the ability to create a "Competitor Set" to track the data for competing Airbnb listings. Plus, they have a free tier that is actually useful.

Lodgify takes vacation rental management to a new level, allowing users to create their own websites for each property in just a few clicks. Unlike other Airbnb tools in the same space, Lodgify is also equipped with an impressive channel manager and provides calendar integration - two key features that empower hosts with more control over bookings and listings than ever before.

The WP Booking System is a powerful Wordpress plugin for tech-savvy individuals, allowing you to create your own completely custom direct booking website and control every aspect of the rental experience. With this system, you can enjoy TOTAL independence from the Short Term Rental overlords!

For STR owners looking for comprehensive coverage, Proper Insurance offers one of the only one-stop solutions in all 50 States. While pricey, it beats having to piece together multiple policies from other providers such as Travelers and Allstate just in order to get liability coverage or reimbursement of lost income due to damages - something no rental or property insurance can do on its own.

Safely insurance is especially geared for short term rentals. When it comes time to file a claim, you'll find that the process is quick and easy - payments are often settled in just 2-3 days! On top of providing coverage, Safely also screens guests prior to check-in with their extensive database which includes convicted felons, terrorist watchlist members, sex offenders and identity fraudsters - giving hosts total peace of mind when they rent out their home.

Safely also runs every primary guest through The List – their database of guests who previously caused damage to a home due to negligence. Think of it like an independent blacklist!

Amazon's Blink camera series has been a game-changer for short term rentals. These wireless, battery powered cameras can be easily mounted to almost any surface and connect directly with your home network - making it effortless to monitor what's happening at your rental property in real time from your phone!

With their easy setup process and on the go alerts, you'll get notified without fail whenever an event is recorded; plus there's even two way audio so that if needed, you can have quick conversations straight through them (though we did not use this feature very much).

Having a guest throw a raging party is every hosts nightmare. With the Party Squasher, you can quickly detect if uninvited guests are showing up at your Airbnb! This sensor not only listens for mobile phones in and around the home – even without Wi-Fi connection – but will also notify you via SMS or email when it senses activity exceeding the threshold that you have set; allowing you to get ahead of the party and cancel the reservation before it gets going.

Upgrade your short term rental with the ease and convenience of a remote wifi smartlock. Say goodbye to lost keys, late-night check-ins, or having to give out physical copies of keys – you can now offer self check in for guests!

Create unique access codes that expire at specific times so each guest has their own designated time frame while cleaners get around the clock entry privileges, all from your smartphone. Plus view activity logs directly! This was easily one of our most favorite purchases for our Airbnb!

Make managing the cleaning of your vacation rental simpler and far more efficient with Turno!

Scheduling cleanings is fast and easy with automated assignments without having to lift a finger - ensuring that each property is sparkling before every new arrival.
