You’re on Vrbo. Fire up Airbnb from the listings you already have.
No re-typing, no photo uploads, no blank pages. Photos, beds, rates, rules, and discounts are already in OwnerRez. This flow picks listings, fills the few Airbnb-only fields from your account defaults, publishes, and proves the first sync worked, listing by listing.
Step 1 — Pick listings (12 of 14 selected)
| Listing | Photos | Beds/baths | Check-in | Readiness | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gulf Breeze House Gulf Shores · 4BR | 38 ✓ | ✓ | Smart lock ✓ | Ready | |
| Salty Dog Cottage Orange Beach · 3BR | 27 ✓ | ✓ | Lockbox ✓ | Ready | |
| Pier View Condo Gulf Shores · 2BR | 19 ✓ | ✓ | Not set → | 1 field | |
| Lagoon Landing Fort Morgan · 5BR | 44 ✓ | ½ bath unmapped → | Host greets ✓ | 1 field | |
| Old Town Walk-up Fairhope · 1BR · direct-book only by owner agreement | 12 | ✓ | ✓ | Skipped by you | |
| + 9 more ready · Readiness reads the same listing data your Vrbo push already validates. Fixes happen inline, not in a settings hunt. | |||||
Step 3 preview — Publish & verify
10 of 12 live and sync-verified in a sample run. Failures name the field, not a queue:
- Gulf Breeze House — live ✓ first sync clean (rates, rules, photos matched)
- Pier View Condo — held: check-in type needed → set above, republish in one click
- Lagoon Landing — held: bathroom count rounded by Airbnb; confirm 2.5 → 3 to proceed
Then step 4 drops you into the discounts wizard with Highly Rated Guest pre-checked and peak blackouts pre-filled, so day one on Airbnb is already priced like a winner.
Step 2 — Airbnb defaults (pre-filled from your account)
Defaults resolve exactly how the listing push does: per-listing override, else account default. Change here only if Airbnb should differ from your house rules.
Why now
Vrbo host fee after this year’s rise. One channel, one landlord.
of cohort Q4 booked nights landed on Airbnb. The demand you are missing is not theoretical.
- Your 14 listings already pass Airbnb content checks with 2 one-field fixes.
- Every listing launched this year joins next year’s incentive-eligible base.
- Vrbo setup is untouched. This adds a channel; it moves nothing.
Flip-on thesis: the second channel should cost an afternoon because the first channel already paid the setup cost. Readiness is computed, not asked; failures name fields, not queues; and the flow ends inside the discounts wizard so launch day pricing is never the blank default. Reverse direction (Airbnb-only → Vrbo, 78 accounts) reuses the same shell. Siblings: Enroll-all · Mirror · Winners wizard · All flavors
