Keep the guest. Not the fees.

Airbnb and Vrbo take 8 to 16 percent of every stay. We build and run a booking channel of your own, so the guests who already know you book straight with you, commission-free.

How it fits: keep Airbnb and Vrbo for new guests who have never heard of you; send everyone who already knows you to your direct channel, where their second and third stays cost you nothing. Prices in CAD, quoted before we start. The booking system licence is billed by the software provider, roughly $25 to $55 a month per property, in your name. The base plan is set up remotely; only on-site add-ons need us near Qualicum Beach.
