STR Co-Host: OwnerRez/Beds24 Setup + Ongoing Booking Management (Solo or Duo Team Only)

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm launching two rental units inside my four-bedroom home (a Jack-and-Jill suite and a 1bd/1ba unit) on Airbnb, VRBO, and Furnished Finder with linked combination listings — guests can book one room, two rooms, or the whole space. I personally handle all local operations (cleaning, laundry, turnovers, maintenance). I need a remote expert trained in multi-channel property management software to own the digital side. BOOKING RULES YOU'LL BUILD INTO THE SYSTEM (IMPORTANT): - Hard cap of 28 nights maximum on all short-stay listings — enforced in the channel manager and on every platform - No back-to-back rebookings by the same short-stay guest without a genuine move-out - Exception: ONE mid-term guest at a time (traveling nurse, 30+ days) on a separate screened lease — never more than one long-stay guest in the home at once. The system and your workflow must track this. PHASE 1 — SETUP (fixed price; the budget shown on this post is for Phase 1): - Create and optimize 4-6 listings (individual rooms + combos) on Airbnb, VRBO, and Furnished Finder plus other sites we find are a good fit for the property - Set up OwnerRez or Beds24 (tell me which you prefer and why) with cross-blocking so combo listings can never double-book - Configure automated guest messaging: booking confirmation, check-in, mid-stay, checkout, review requests - Dynamic pricing (PriceLabs or similar) - Build the service menu into listings and upsell messaging: • Included: self-serve continental breakfast, fast WiFi + workspace, weekly light housekeeping for mid-term stays, package acceptance, quiet-hours policy (night-shift friendly) • Paid add-ons: laundry service (per load or weekly flat rate), mid-stay deep clean, early check-in / late checkout, reserved parking, arrival grocery kit - All accounts created under MY ownership — you work as a collaborator PHASE 2 — ONGOING MANAGEMENT (per-booking or flat monthly — propose your structure; pricing to be discussed): - Guest communication and inquiry response with day/night coverage - Calendar, pricing, and booking-rule enforcement (the 28-day cap and one-nurse policy are non-negotiable) - Booking issue resolution (cancellations, alterations, disputes) - Coordinating turnovers and add-on services with me - Light marketing: listing refreshes, review responses, occupancy optimization WHO I'M LOOKING FOR: - A solo operator or two-person team (a couple or partners covering different time zones is ideal). NOT a large agency — I want to know exactly who is talking to my guests. - Trained and demonstrably experienced in multi-channel property management software — OwnerRez or Beds24 strongly preferred; name the platforms you've run in your proposal or I'll assume you haven't - Experience managing listings across Airbnb + VRBO + Furnished Finder simultaneously - Mid-term / traveling nurse rental experience is a big plus - Strong written English TO APPLY, INCLUDE: 1. Which channel manager you'd use for linked/combo listings and why 2. Every PMS/channel manager you've personally operated, and for how long 3. Your Phase 1 fixed price 4. Your Phase 2 pricing — I prefer per-booking fee or flat monthly over hourly 5. Links or screenshots of listings you've set up and managed 6. Who's on your team and what hours each of you covers Start with Phase 1; if the setup goes well, Phase 2 is a long-term ongoing role.
