Vacation rental manager reviewing bookings and messages
 
Vacation Rental Software

Vacation rental software that runs the work.

Brahma sits on top of the tools you already run and coordinates the whole operation: guest comms, turnovers and cleaning, pricing, and owner reports - with AI agents doing the work and your team approving the exceptions.

Keep your PMS, your channel manager, and your listings. We do not touch your distribution - we take over the busywork between them.

The basics

What vacation rental software does

Vacation rental software runs the day-to-day of a short-term rental business: reservations and calendars, rates and availability, guest communication, cleaning and turnovers, payments, and owner statements. Most operators run several tools to cover it, and the gap between them is where the day disappears.

Bookings and calendars

One view of every stay across properties, units, and channels - without double bookings.

Guest comms

Enquiries, pre-arrival, mid-stay, and departure messages, drafted and answered in-thread on every channel.

Turnovers and cleaning

Same-day checkouts and check-ins assigned, tracked, and photo-verified across your cleaners.

Key features

What to look for in vacation rental software

The capabilities short-term rental managers check for first. Brahma covers them, and connects the ones you already own instead of forcing a second copy.

Channel sync

Rates and availability kept aligned across Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO through your channel manager.

Reservations and calendar

Every booking, across every unit and channel, in one view.

Guest messaging

OTA messages, email, and WhatsApp in one inbox, with replies drafted and sent in-thread.

Housekeeping

Checkout-to-check-in cleaning assigned, tracked, and escalated when it slips.

Payments and balances

What is paid, what is due, and what is outstanding - per booking and per owner.

Owner statements

Occupancy, revenue, and owner distributions without the month-end spreadsheet night.

Integrations

Connect to Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO - without touching your distribution

We are not a channel manager, and we never become one. Rates and availability move through your channel manager; Brahma connects to your PMS, your inbox, your pricing, and your cleaning tools and keeps everything coordinated.

The OTAs

Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO, fed through your channel manager. Your listings and ranking stay yours.

PMS and channel manager

Guesty, Hostaway, and similar - connected by API and kept as your system of record.

Pricing

PriceLabs and similar, so rate opportunities are flagged and pushed with your approval.

Cleaning, locks, email

Turno, Breezeway, Operto, and your inbox - so the whole chain runs in one workflow.

How it compares

Choosing the right vacation rental software

For the first few listings, a simple tool is enough. The moment you have several units, several channels, and a cleaner to chase, the coordination cost outweighs the software cost - and that is the part software rarely takes over.

Traditional vacation rental software

Screens you operate. Reports you build. Your team is the integration between the PMS, the pricing tool, the cleaners, and the inbox.

Point AI add-ons

A chatbot on one screen, or AI that only suggests. It helps a little, and rarely touches the work across systems.

Brahma

One queue across the whole stack, work done, owners reported, and a human approving anything that matters.

Real managers

FAQ

Vacation rental software questions, answered straight

What is vacation rental software?

Vacation rental software runs a short-term rental business: reservations and calendars, rates and availability, guest communication, cleaning and turnovers, payments, and owner statements. Traditional vacation rental software gives you screens to operate; Brahma adds AI agents that do the work across those tools and brings your team the exceptions.

Does it connect to Airbnb and Vrbo?

Yes, through your channel manager. Brahma connects to your channel manager (or your PMS) by API and keeps rates and availability aligned, so the OTAs stay in sync and you avoid double bookings. We never take over your distribution or become your channel manager.

How much does vacation rental software cost?

Traditional tools are priced per listing or per unit per month. Brahma is priced per AI agent, from $249 per agent per month, with a free assessment, free onboarding and migration, and the first month free. There are no per-unit fees: unlimited properties, units, and rooms on every plan.

What is the best vacation rental software for a small host?

For one or two listings, a simple tool plus the OTAs is usually enough. Brahma is built for the point where the coordination starts to hurt - several units, several channels, cleaners, and owners - and scales from there.

Do I still need my PMS?

If you already run a PMS you like, keep it. Brahma works as the layer on top of it. If you would rather run one platform, Brahma can run the operation itself. Your call - we do not force a migration.

Plans

Priced around the outcome, not the hour

One monthly fee, hosting, AI usage and support included, and agents that add on as you grow. Every plan begins the same way - with a free assessment and a free first month - so you see it working before you commit.

Every plan starts here

Free assessment. Free onboarding, migration and setup. Your first month free.

No credit card required. We assess the work, stand the platform up on your own systems, and run the first month alongside your team. You continue only if you are happy with the results and can see a measurable impact on your revenue and your cost - if you cannot see it, say so and walk away.
