We’re excited to announce the launch of our new podcast, Walk ’n Talk: The Business Behind Vacation Rentals. This show pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build, scale, and run a successful company in the vacation rental industry.
This week’s roundup covers Airbnb’s strong Q3 performance, Sonder’s abrupt bankruptcy, Instacart’s move into vacation rentals, new short-term rental rules in Kansas City ahead of the World Cup, and Airbnb’s strategic push into rural Spain. Let’s dive in.
We are excited to share our latest integration with HiChee, giving OwnerRez users seamless access to a powerful vacation rental price comparison platform that helps travelers find the best deals and gives hosts a simple way to attract more direct bookings.
Meet Tony Goebel, founder and CEO of DoorCo Vacations, a Wisconsin-based vacation rental company built on family values, quality craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality. Tony and his wife, Cara, started with a single lake home, which they poured their hearts into renovating and sharing with others. Today, they have transformed that passion into a growing portfolio of unique properties across their home state of Wisconsin.
OwnerRez's October Product Update is now available! The new Confirm & Pay guest form is here, additions to Rezzy AI's capabilities 🐉, and Blocked-Off Time now can have expenses. Because managing vacation rentals should feel less like work and more like magic. ✨
