Is this for you?
- You want direct bookings on your own site at 0% commission, in your own brand
- You manage identical or near-identical units and need revenue shared fairly across them
- You also do turnovers, home-watching and the occasional resale, and want them on one owner statement
- You want a pure channel manager and nothing else — that is a narrower, more mature category
- Your entire business is OTA distribution and you have no interest in a direct channel
- You need deep integrations with a specific PMS you intend to keep
Your module mix
Subscribe to exactly these — nothing else to pay for. Your application arrives with this mix pre-selected, and your organisation is provisioned with it on approval.
Your own booking sites (per community and portfolio-wide) at 0% commission, rate calendars with min-stay rules, holds that expire themselves, allocation at check-in.
Off-season home watching, turnovers auto-created at checkout, linen and consumable stock with reorder alerts.
Owners sell eventually — be the one who sells it, and keep the new owner as a client.
Furnishing packages that get a home listing-ready, quoted and invoiced in the same system.
Monthly winter lets on the same calendar as summer nightly stays.
This is the actual product
Real screenshots from a live portfolio — the screens your team would work in every day.
Your brand, six languages, guest-selected currency — and 0% commission on every direct booking. Search, price, book and confirm without leaving your own site. Live the day you onboard.
Booking payments and pool shares on one statement per unit — the page that ends the 'where did this number come from?' phone calls.
Direct vs Guesty / Hostaway-class channel tools

Per-listing accounting makes owners of identical units compare payouts line by line.
Booking sites carry your brand, in the guest's language and display currency.
Checkout on a third-party domain, in English.
Bookings, pool shares, cleans and fees on a single statement in the owner portal.
A stays report here, a maintenance invoice there.
Guides for vacation property managers
British Columbia's short-term rental rules
BC moved short-term rental regulation from the municipality to the province: a principal-residence requirement in most communities, a provincial registry, and a duty on the platforms to enforce both.
Alberta short-term rentals: the levy and the licence
Alberta is the loosest short-term rental regime of the four big provinces — no provincial licence, no principal-residence test — which puts the whole of the compliance burden on the city and the tax.
Quebec tourist accommodation: CITQ registration
Quebec put the enforcement duty on the platforms: a listing without a valid registration number is one the platform is not allowed to publish, and the fines for publishing it anyway are aimed at the platform as much as the host.
Florida vacation rentals: licence, preemption and three taxes
Florida is one of the few states that licenses vacation rentals itself — and one of the few that stops its cities doing the same, unless they were already doing it in 2011.
California short-term rentals: a city-by-city map
There is no California short-term rental law to comply with. There are roughly five hundred municipal ones, and the only safe assumption is that the city you are buying in does something different from the city you already operate in.
New York City: Local Law 18 and the 30-day line
New York did not ban short-term rentals. It required registration, then required the platforms to check it — which removed most of the market in a single step, because most of the market could never have registered.
San Francisco: residency, registration and the 90-night cap
San Francisco's regime is the strictest of the residency-based models: you must actually live there, you must register, and the city audits the count of nights you were not home.
Location courte durée en France : ce qui s'applique
La France superpose trois régimes : la déclaration, qui est nationale ; le plafond de nuitées, qui dépend de la commune ; et le changement d'usage, qui ne concerne que les logements qui ne sont pas votre résidence principale.
Kurzzeitvermietung in Deutschland: was gilt
Deutschland regelt Kurzzeitvermietung nicht im Bund, sondern über das Zweckentfremdungsrecht der Länder und die Satzungen der Städte — mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Frage nie „ist das erlaubt“ lautet, sondern „in welchem Bezirk“.
Alquiler turístico en España: qué se aplica
El registro es estatal y la autorización no lo es: el número identifica la vivienda ante las plataformas, pero quien decide si puede dedicarse al alquiler turístico sigue siendo la comunidad autónoma y, sobre todo, el ayuntamiento.
Alojamento Local em Portugal: o que se aplica
O registo de alojamento local é municipal e o número é público: tem de constar do anúncio, a plataforma verifica-o, e a zona onde o imóvel está decide se há sequer registo a obter.
Locazioni brevi in Italia: che cosa si applica
L'Italia ha aggiunto un livello nazionale — il CIN e i requisiti di sicurezza — sopra i codici regionali che già esistevano, senza sostituirli: oggi servono entrambi.
Hébergement touristique au Québec : l'enregistrement CITQ
Le Québec a mis l'application entre les mains des plateformes : une annonce sans numéro valide est une annonce qu'elles n'ont pas le droit de publier, et les amendes visent la plateforme autant que l'exploitant.
Location à court terme à Toronto : l'enregistrement
Toronto encadre la location à court terme par un enregistrement obligatoire plutôt que par un permis discrétionnaire — et les règles diffèrent nettement selon que vous louez le logement entier ou une chambre chez vous.
La taxe d'hébergement municipale en Ontario
Il n'existe pas une taxe d'hébergement ontarienne mais une par municipalité : le taux, ce à quoi il s'applique et la personne qui doit la remettre varient d'une ville à la suivante.
Location à court terme à Ottawa : le permis
Ottawa combine un permis d'hôte, la règle de la résidence principale en zone urbaine et une catégorie à part pour les chalets ruraux — trois régimes dans une même ville.
Location à court terme en Colombie-Britannique
La Colombie-Britannique a fait passer l'encadrement de la municipalité à la province : une règle de résidence principale dans la plupart des collectivités, un registre provincial, et l'obligation pour les plateformes d'appliquer les deux.
Location à court terme en Alberta : la taxe et le permis
L'Alberta est le régime le plus souple des grandes provinces — ni permis provincial, ni règle de résidence principale — ce qui reporte toute la conformité sur la municipalité et sur la taxe.
TPS/TVH sur les revenus de location en Ontario
La même unité peut être exonérée un semestre et taxable le suivant : ce n'est pas l'immeuble qui décide, c'est la durée du séjour.
Toronto STR registration: what applies to you
Toronto regulates short-term rentals through mandatory registration, not a discretionary licence — and the rules differ sharply depending on whether you're renting a whole unit or a room in your own home.
Toronto's Municipal Accommodation Tax, explained
MAT applies to almost every short stay in Toronto, and the rate has moved twice in the last fourteen months — as of 8 August 2026 it's back down to 6%, after a temporary jump to 8.5%.
Toronto's Vacant Home Tax: the annual declaration
Every residential property owner in Toronto must declare occupancy status every year — even an occupied home — or the property is automatically deemed vacant and taxed at 3% of its assessed value.
Municipal Accommodation Tax across Ontario
MAT is set city by city, and almost nothing about it is uniform — not the rate, not the stay length that triggers it, not how often you remit. Rates below are taken from each municipality's own published pages, not from an aggregator.
Ottawa short-term rental host permits
Ottawa permits short-term rentals only in your principal residence, under a two-year host permit — with one significant exception for rural properties that Toronto has no equivalent of.
Mississauga short-term rental licences
Mississauga licenses short-term rentals in your principal residence only, for $283 a year, with a 180-night annual cap and two requirements — a police check and $2 million of liability cover — that take longer to obtain than the licence itself.
HST/GST on Ontario rental income
Long-term residential rent is exempt from HST. Commercial rent is taxable. Short-term stays under 30 days are treated as a commercial activity by the CRA — and the $30,000 small-supplier threshold combines every property you operate, not just one.
Why the best operators don't pick one business line
Long-term leasing, short-term stays, sales, caretaking and fit-outs get sold as five different software categories. Operationally, they're one registry with five ways to earn from it.
The maintenance-week problem, solved
Two identical villas in the same community will never book identically. Per-listing accounting turns that into an owner-relations problem; pooling turns it into a non-issue.
