Dont lose another booking to an owner that responds more quickly to an inquiry email from VRBO, HomeAway, Vacation Rentals, FlipKey, Dwellable and other listing sites. Reply quickly and accurately to email or phone inquiries from potential guests with less effort. Vacation Props users respond to an email rental inquiry in an average of 60 seconds!
Keep the most important information about your vacation rentals at your fingertips:
• Availability calendar
• Base and seasonal rates
• Rental fees
• Inquiries and reservations
• Other property information
Respond to most email inquiries with just a few taps using our innovative email templates. Start by configuring your email account and then Vacation Props will automatically detect new inquiries from VRBO, HomeAway, VacationRentals.com, FlipKey, Dwellable and other configured inquiry email formats. This feature only works with IMAP email (POP email is not supported). Alternatively, you can also copy the email right from your email app. When a new inquiry is detected:
• Vacation Props automatically analyzes the inquiry, checks availability, and calculates the quote based on configured seasonal rates.
• Tap through the quote screens to review and customize the quote, including answering any questions from the guest.
• Use fully customizable email templates to automatically create a response.
• Send the email response to the potential guest. The quote is automatically saved for future reference.
• When the guest decides to book, turn the inquiry into a reservation with a few taps.
Other features include:
• Quickly create a rate quote from scratch (no inquiry email needed). Great for calculating a quote if a potential guest calls you.
• Customize your email templates, which are automatically filled in with details from the quote. The appropriate email template is used when the property is available, already booked, or if the length of stay is shorter than the minimum number of nights allowed.
• Import availability information from iCal URLs.
The powerful rate quote engine in Vacation Props provides flexibility in creating quotes that meet your specific needs. For each property you can configure a variety of information that is used to generate the quote:
• Seasonal Rates allow you to configure different rates for different times of the year. The property’s Base Rate is used for all other times of the year.
• Nightly, Weekly, and Monthly rates are supported for each rate period.
• Special Nightly Rates allow you to have different rates for certain days of the week.
• A configurable tax rate as well as flat rate or percentage-based fees are supported. For example, the property may have 8.5% sales tax, a flat $100 cleaning fee, and a 5% booking fee.
Deciding if Vacation Props is right for you:
• Except for iCal integration, there is no automatic syncing or login with services like VRBO or HomeAway.
