James-great video as usual… I always like and comment on your videos because I think they deserve more visabilty on TH-cam. Your advice is accurate and shared without the always, or never extreme biases that some content creators have. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks Ben! Really appreciate the kind words and continued support! :)
@@james.svetec and sorry for the typo (I just realized it acc BCCC d changed it to visibility;))
One other sidenote - - I’ve been able to get VRBO api integration with my PMS for instances of less than 5 properties. Not sure if that is unique to my PMS or a change but wanted to mention that. Thanks again and keep producing great stuff.
Interesting! I'll have to look into that more -- what PMS are you with?
@@james.svetec I use a PMS called FantasticStay. Does everything that I need and is 100% free if you are just connecting to Airbnb. I stumbled upon it when I was doing a feature comparison vs price.

@@superhostreacts interesting, I haven’t heard of that one before. I’ll have to dig in and check it out!
@@superhostreacts will check that one out! Haven’t heard of it before
I will say that I’m very careful about documenting any damage with Airbnb’s and when the guest agrees, I’ve always collected. I had a situation recently where the guest disagreed and I have not been able to collect. I probably need to push it further with Airbnb.
I have hospitable and it connects to VRBO....
Our past issue with VRBO was slow updates using sync. We ended up with double bookings. Have they improved? We have 4 units for rent?
Hi James! Thanks for the video, very informative. Can you make a video with tips in regards the screening guests? Companies, and also in regards the deposit. Thank you!
Quick question - do you use any of the Airbnb smart replies, or auto replies? I have smart/auto replies in my PMS that I rely on but I’ve been tempted to try out/augment with some of the Airbnb smart replies. Wondering if you have tried them and if there are scenarios where they complement/enhance what you’ve already got with your PMS?
I personally like to keep them all within my PMS just for organization. To my knowledge, there's no advantage to having them setup in Airbnb vs. in your PMS.
I find that when I have auto-messages setup through both my PMS and through Airbnb directly, it's trickier to know which platform I need to go to in order to adit/adjust the messages if needed. So I opt to just do all of it through my PMS as that way it can be applied to other channels as well.
@@james.svetec makes sense thx! I have all of mine in my PMS as well today… sounds like I’m not missing anything by going that route. Thx
Do you have they have customer care where you can speak to a real live person
So strange, I get VRBO bookings and very rarely AIRBNB? Same properties, listed on both.. I wish I could figure this out?
Weird, we have the opposite result, very little with VRBO and more with AirBnB
How do you handle the booking yourself as a fraud and getting paid
