We have a Parent/Child property that I would like to restrict stays to occur at all over weekends (Friday and Saturday nights) for the Child listing. In other words, I don't want to just restrict arrivals/departures from Friday and Saturday - I want to prevent guests from staying in the Child listing on Friday and Saturday nights altogether, and essentially force them into weeknight stays (Sunday night through Friday morning). Does anyone know how to accomplish this without having to block off every single weekend manually? TIA!
Here's what I came up with: Increase your nightly rate for the weekends to equal the nightly rate of the Parent. I do this through PriceLabs and their day of week price adjustments.
If someone books the Child through the weekend at the Parent price, I don't care because I will be making the same amount of revenue. This has worked well for us, we are getting a lot of mid-week stays on the Child listing that are spilling over into the weekends.
If someone has any other experiences, I'd like to hear them.
Hey Jordan!
There wouldn't be a way to have this done automatically, where it prevents guests from staying at the child listing on a Friday or Saturday. A possible workaround would be to create blocks in OwnerRez for Fridays and Saturdays at the child listing, and this would prevent guests from being able to select a Friday or Saturday when booking a stay at the child listing. However, you'd need to create a separate block for each weekend. More on creating blocks here: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/blocking-off-time
When creating the blocks, you should see a Mutual blocking option and a box for 'Don't block other properties'. Be sure to check this when creating the blocks to ensure it doesn't block the parent listing as well:
