Meet Rachel, a busy real estate agent in Vancouver, balancing her career while raising two college-bound kids. Tucked away in scenic Whistler, British Columbia, lies Rachel’s cherished family cabin—a sanctuary filled with generations of memories. Despite the allure of her vacation home, Rachel found it difficult to enjoy amidst her bustling life. In an attempt to alleviate the costs of her second home, she tried to list the property as a rental.

Soon, Rachel faced a dilemma as renting out her cherished family home became increasingly stressful. She had tried other property management software but found that their entire onboarding process was lengthy and riddled with expensive fees. In the past, whenever she encountered an issue, attempting to contact customer service proved futile, as she never reached a real person or resolved her concerns, which left her hesitant to try again. However, with PrivateBnB, she connected directly with our founder, Chris Cade, who not only uses the software himself but provided personalized guidance through a free consultation session.

Simplicity

Feeling assured moving forward with PrivateBnB, Rachel appreciated the platform’s open access to support for any questions or advice she needed. From the moment she signed up, she was amazed by the application’s ease of use. Creating her listing immediately, she could start sharing it the same day. All the parameters of her listing, from rates to instructions, were easily mapped out and decided by her. Rachel felt like she had regained control of her property again.

Privacy Solution

Since her cabin is a cherished family home, Rachel appreciated that with PrivateBnB, she could view guest profiles and preferences to help her make decisions on who to let stay. If she was uncertain about a guest, she could find their contact information in their guest profile and reach out to them directly to determine if they were the right fit for her rental property. Once she vetted and approved tenants, she allowed PrivateBnB’s software to manage the entire stay, with automated messages, enabling her to focus on her work and her kids.

Living in Vancouver but owning a cabin in Whistler had its perks. Rachel leveraged the cabin’s prime location, highlighting Whistler’s renowned skiing and snowboarding in winter, and its mountain biking and hiking trails in summer. By signing up with PrivateBnB, she effortlessly created her own rental listing website, sharing it across relevant platforms to attract eager travelers.

Just the Right Fit

PrivateBnB proved to be the perfect fit. With the application’s user-friendly vacation rental software, Rachel organized renters and handpicked guests for her cabin with ease. One of Rachel’s favorite features of the app was its insights into analytics and reports. With just a click of a button from her phone or computer, she was always in the know about her rental properties’ performance.

Thanks to PrivateBnB, Rachel not only maintained control over her family’s cabin but also transformed it into a lucrative and discreet rental property. The immediate responses she received from trusted guests reinforced her confidence in her decision, marking the beginning of a successful and stress-free rental venture that she was in control of.
