Airbnb & VRBO Property Manager
Budget: £10 – £15 GBP
I’m building a web-based dashboard that lets me oversee every stage of my short-term rentals in one place. The platform must pull reservations in real time from both Airbnb and VRBO, display them on a unified calendar, and allow me to confirm or modify bookings directly from that view.
Beyond reservations, I need simple tools to record and track maintenance tasks—everything from scheduling cleaners to noting handyman visits—so I can see open jobs, assign them, and mark them complete. A built-in messaging panel should surface all guest conversations from each channel in a single thread and let me reply without leaving the system.
Three roles are essential:
• Admin – full control over settings, integrations, and reporting
• Property Manager – day-to-day access to bookings, maintenance, and guest messages
• Guest – self-service portal to view their reservation details and share arrival info
Single sign-on, token-based sync, or the official APIs from Airbnb and VRBO are all acceptable as long as updates flow both ways within a few minutes. The UI can be simple; reliability, clear status indicators, and mobile-friendly layouts matter more to me than heavy styling.
I’ll consider the project complete once I can:
1. See and edit bookings from both channels on one calendar.
2. Create, assign, and close maintenance tasks with status history.
3. Send/receive guest messages in the same thread and have them post back to the original platform.
4. Switch between Admin, Property Manager, and Guest views and confirm permissions behave as described.
If you’ve tackled channel manager or PMS tools before, let’s talk through your approach and estimated timeline.
