Why we created HolidayHost
We believe Owners shouldn't have to choose
Between local care and expert performance. Between handing over the day-to-day and staying in control. Between earning more from your holiday home and keeping the freedom to enjoy it yourself.
HolidayHost brings these things together in one co-hosting model, built to work better for Owners.
How it works
Designed to give Owners more
Your home at the centre, with local knowledge, specialist expertise and informed decisions behind it.
It starts with your home
Every holiday home is different. We take time to understand your property, how you want to use it and what’s important to you, then use our experience and insight to understand its letting potential and help you make informed choices about what comes next.
That understanding also shapes how we present your home, from writing compelling descriptions and purposeful photography briefs to the details that help it stand out to the right guests.
Local knowledge that goes beyond your front door
Your local Host lives and works in the community around your holiday home. They know your property, the area and the people who help keep it running, from trusted tradespeople and local suppliers to housekeeping support, and they’re nearby when your home or guests need them.
That knowledge extends to your guests too: the hidden gems, the best time to find a parking space, somewhere special for dinner or where to find the perfect local souvenir. It helps create a better stay while supporting the local people and businesses that help make the area somewhere worth visiting.
Specialist knowledge behind your local Host
Your Host has specialists behind them. HolidayHost’s expert team uses Airbnb and booking platform data alongside their own experience to understand demand, what a week in your area is worth at different points in the season, and what helps a listing attract bookings.
They track how your home is performing throughout the year, adjusting pricing, length of stay and your listing to help it perform at its best.
In an age of algorithms, decisions are still human
Data helps us understand booking patterns, local demand and how your listing is performing on Airbnb and Vrbo. Our technology brings that information together, but it’s our expert team who interpret it and decide what happens next.
And through your Owner App, you can see your bookings, availability and earnings whenever you want to.

Your options
Which approach is right for you?
The right approach depends on how involved you want to be, what support you need and what matters most to you.
Handing your home over to an agency
A holiday letting agency typically markets your property through its own website and manages bookings and payments on your behalf. Fees, services and arrangements for Owner stays vary between providers.
It’s worth understanding what’s included, the full cost, who looks after your home locally and how much flexibility you retain before you make a decision.
Every decision, and every job
Nobody knows your home better, and every decision is yours, from pricing and guest bookings to changeovers and answering messages.
For Owners who have the time and experience, managing it themselves can offer complete control, but it also means taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of the holiday let.
Support managed online
Online holiday let management uses technology to take care of much of the work involved in letting a property, from pricing and bookings to guest communication.
Services vary between providers, particularly around what happens at the property itself, so it’s worth understanding what support is available locally and what’s included.
More from your home, without taking on more
A local Host near your home takes care of what needs to happen on the ground, while our expert team uses Airbnb and Vrbo expertise, data and insight to help your home perform at its best.
You stay in control of when you let, when you stay and how involved you want to be. And with a fair, transparent fee, more of what your holiday home earns stays with you.

"Couldn’t be happier"
“HolidayHost have been a fantastic team to work with from day one. They manage my holiday home in Dartmouth with real care and attention, and I’ve been genuinely impressed by how proactive they are. Annie keeps a close eye on the listing, responds quickly to guests, and constantly looks for ways to keep things running smoothly. The level of bookings we get is brilliant, and it’s clear that’s down to the way the property is managed. Couldn’t be happier.”
"Best properties!"
“HolidayHost only let the very best properties. They are the most efficient, professional and caring property rental company that I’ve ever worked with in many years that I’ve been both renting and staying in properties. The HolidayHost team always go above and beyond and they work 24/7. I’ve been very impressed by this company and the HolidayHost philosophy of service.”
"5 star reviews"
“Sharon has been our Host for over 6 months now and she has been amazing. This is our first holiday rental and being some distance away we were anxious about dealing with potential emergencies, but Sharon has always been on hand with a solution and communicated excellently. Our guests love her and we have only had 5 star reviews thus far, so it’s absolutely a 5 star review from us!”
