We are happy to announce our partnership with RedCarpet Host to offer our users a thoughtfully designed guidebook builder built by long-time OwnerRez users!

About RedCarpet Host

As an experienced STR host and OwnerRez user, the developer of RedCarpet Host set out on a mission to create tools that are smarter, easier to use, more affordable, and provide a better guest experience. A great example is their innovative and thoughtfully designed guidebook builder, which turns a dreaded task into a refreshingly simple experience. Create smart guidebooks powered by real-time data from your OwnerRez account for a delightfully friendly and personalized guest experience. You’ll also appreciate the fully automated (and FREE!) Waitlist app that takes the stress out of those inevitable requests to “Notify me if you have a cancellation."

Features

  • Smart - Don’t let the simplicity fool you. Under the hood, your guidebook is incredibly smart. Full API integration with OwnerRez means every guest gets personalized booking and property details updated in real-time.
  • Host-friendly - The intuitive design of their guidebook editor will have you up and running in minutes.
  • Guest-friendly - Guests access their guidebook with just one click. No sign-in. No passwords. Their innovative one-page design means all of the information the guest needs can be reached with two taps or less.

Pricing

A first-hand understanding of the short-term-rental business inspired the host-friendly RedCarpet subscription model. Instead of charging a per-property fee, RedCarpet fees are based only on your total number of bookings received each month. Your first booking is $8.00 and each additional booking is just 29 cents. That means you’ll pay $0 if no bookings are made in a given month. Take a look at their pricing calculator here to learn more.

I wish their website included a sample guidebook to see what the offering really entails. As it stands now, I'd have to watch the demo of how to build one in order to get a glimpse of a finished product.

There's a link to a sample guest app on this page. . .
https://redcarpethost.com/redcarpethost-and-ownerrez

You're right, I should have that on the home page as well. Thank you for the suggestion!

How do I add a button for waitlist under my availability calendar on my OR website just like you have as an example in your video? This way guest can just click on it to be waitlisted. Thank you!

It's been quite a while since I used the OR hosted site. I know you can do a text link using the instructions at www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/links but I'm not sure if there's a way to place a button in that position. There may be someone else who can give you a better answer.

You can add it as a custom menu link in the header like we've done at www.potomacadventure.com.
