Short stays
Operations
Nightly listings, without the double booking.
Publish a unit as a short let, price it by the season, and take bookings against the same calendar your long leases already write to. One calendar decides whether a night is free, so a guest and a tenant can never be sold the same doorway.
- Nightly rates, seasons and long-stay discounts
- One calendar shared with your long leases and your channels
- Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, exportable
How it works
Everything below works today, including the channel calendars. Be clear about what that last part is: Airbnb and Booking.com publish no booking API to an operator at this level, so what is exchanged is an iCal calendar of busy dates — which is what they publish and what they read. It stops the double booking. It does not carry the guest, the money or the message, so those still live wherever the booking was taken.
- 01
Publish the unit
A unit you already hold becomes a nightly listing, with the photographs, the address and the area page it already has.
- 02
Price it properly
A base rate per night, seasons that override it, a different weekend price, and a discount for guests who stay a week or a month. Cleaning fees, extra-guest fees and local taxes are worked out on the quote rather than added by hand.
- 03
One calendar wins
A unit under a long lease cannot be booked for a night inside that lease, and a guest cannot be sold a night a maintenance hold has taken. The availability calendar is shared with every other app, so the refusal happens before the booking rather than in an apology afterwards.
- 04
Run the day
Who is arriving, who is leaving and who is in house, on one screen your caretaker can open at the gate — and check a guest in from it without being able to see the rate card.
- 05
Join up the channels
Give each site a link to the unit’s calendar, and paste theirs back. Dates sold on Airbnb stop being offered here, and dates sold here stop being offered there. Where two calendars have already sold the same night we tell you and change nothing — deciding which guest to disappoint is not a thing software should do quietly.
- 06
See what it earned
Occupancy, average nightly rate and revenue per available night, by unit and by month, with the direct bookings separated from the ones that cost you commission. A stay that runs over a month end is split across both, so the monthly figures are the real ones.
Works with
It plugs into the properties you already hold
Every app reads the same properties, units and contacts, so adding one never means entering your portfolio a second time.
Properties & Units
A nightly listing is a unit you already hold, with the same photographs and the same address.
Rentals
A unit on a long lease is blocked for those dates, so mixing long and short lets across a portfolio cannot double-book anything.
Questions
Before you ask
Is this an Airbnb product?
No. Short stays is ours, and it is named for what it does rather than for any channel. PropertyView is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo.
Does it sync with the channels I already list on?
It syncs calendars. Each unit has an iCal link you give to Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, and you paste theirs back, so a night sold on one stops being offered on the other. Guests, payments and messages are not synced, because those platforms offer no booking API at this size.
Can I let the same flat long-term and by the night?
Yes, and that is the point of it sitting in PropertyView rather than in a separate tool. Both write to one availability calendar, so a lease blocks the nights it covers and a booking blocks the nights it covers. Neither app can sell a date the other has taken.
What happens to a booking nobody confirms?
It holds the dates for as long as you choose — 48 hours by default — and then releases them by itself. One abandoned enquiry does not keep a unit off the market until somebody notices.
Can my caretaker use it?
Yes. There is a screen showing who is arriving, who is leaving and who is in house, and they can check guests in and out from it. They cannot see your rate card, your seasons or your monthly revenue.
Will it cost extra?
It depends on your plan. Some plans include it, and on others you can add it on its own. The pricing page lists which plans include each app and what it costs by itself.
More apps
Add what you need, leave the rest
Rentals
Rentals turns a unit into a tenancy: a tenant, a lease, and a rent schedule that raises its own invoices. The unit, the address and the photographs are already in PropertyView, so none of it is typed twice.
Maintenance
A leak reported on WhatsApp is a leak nobody can find next month. Maintenance puts the report on the unit, gives it someone responsible and a stage on a board, and keeps the record on the property when the work is done.
Inspections
Record the condition of a unit item by item with photos, have the report approved, and send check-in and check-out reports to the tenant to sign. At move-out, the report is compared with the one made when they moved in.
Documents
Upload each document against the property, unit, tenant, lease, invoice or expense it concerns, so you find it where you would look for it. Documents with an expiry date are tracked, and your team gets an email before anything runs out.
Notice Board
Post an announcement, an outage, a payment reminder or an event once. It shows on your tenants' dashboards, and on a printed sheet for the lobby whose QR code opens the current notices.
Parking
Draw each car park once and every bay is on a map. Attendants check cars in and out with photographs and a record of who drove them away, owners are told the moment their car leaves, and passes are sold by the day, week or month.
For Landlords & Property Managers
Put your units in front of people already looking.
Listing is free, and every app runs on the same properties and units — so the work you do to let a place is the work that keeps your books straight.
