A premium direct-booking engine for luxury vacation rentals in Phoenix
Elite Retreat Rentals manages three luxury vacation properties in the Phoenix metro. We built a direct booking experience with real-time calendars, dynamic pricing, digital guidebooks, and a guest portal—reducing reliance on OTAs while improving margins and stay quality.
OTA fees eroded margins and limited brand storytelling; manual calendars created double-booking risk.
No integrated upsells for add-on experiences (early check-in, private chef, pool heat), leaving revenue on the table.
Guest communication was scattered across email threads; property ops (cleaning, maintenance) weren’t synced.




Direct bookings now drive 78% of reservations. Integrated OTA/iCal sync eliminated conflicts and stabilized occupancy.
Add-on marketplace increased ancillary revenue by 45%; dynamic pricing improved shoulder-season occupancy by 41%.
Guest portal centralizes messages, digital guidebooks, and check-in. Ops calendar syncs cleans/turnovers to reduce misses.
“We reclaimed margins from OTA fees and finally control the guest journey. The guest portal and add-ons pay for themselves every month.”
