Entering or editing

Entering or editing your pricing and availability calendar

• Using the drop-down lists provided, select your minimum stay requirements for each of the rental seasons. (If you rent your home during the shoulder season – May/June & Sept./Oct. – consider lowering your minimum off-season stay requirements to less than 7 days to more easily fill your home.)

• If your minimum stay requirement is less than a week, enter your daily pricing. You may enter a range or simply one fixed rate.

If you would like to save time, use the Auto-populate option to enter your weekly rates by season.

• Enter your weekly rate for any season, and click “Apply.”
• You can change your pricing for individual weeks after auto-populating your seasonal rate if you wish by editing the individual weekly pricing fields in the calendar below.

Manually entering your weekly pricing and availability

• Scroll down to the first month on the calendar that your property is available.
• Enter your pricing in the column on the left titled "Weekly price." You must enter a weekly price for each available week.
• Use the “Open” tabs in the upper right corner of each month box or to the right of each week to open up your availability by removing the checkmarks from each date.
• Make sure any available day for rent is unchecked
• ONLY enter a checkmark if someone is staying in your home that night, not if they leave that morning.

• Continue with this procedure for each month.
• When finished, click "Save" – if not, your changes will not be saved!

Note: Be sure to update your calendar regularly (every 2-3 weeks during the busy season). At the top of your calendar, there is a "date stamp" indicating to vacationers when your calendar was last updated.
