Timed check-ins, not vague days
Every booking has an actual check-in and check-out time down to the half-hour. Ready-state badges compute live from those timestamps and open cleaning tickets — no manual status field to forget.
Short-term rental management
Short-term rental management software for independent operators.
CortoCasa is the operations layer for teams running short-term apartments and vacation rentals: bookings, key handovers, cleaning, cash and guest communication — one mobile-first app.
The daily reality of managing short-term rentals.
Booking arrives on Airbnb. The guest asks for early check-in on WhatsApp. The cleaner from yesterday's turnover hasn't confirmed the keys are back. Your junior manager collected €340 in rent last night and you're not sure where it is. A tap in the kitchen is dripping.
None of this is what channel managers or full-service PMs solve. They own the booking or they own the property. The operational middle — the part where your team actually earns its keep — falls into spreadsheets, WhatsApp group chats, and mental notes.
CortoCasa is built for that middle. It's the shared operating system for your operations team, on their phones, in their language.
What CortoCasa does differently.
A key journal you'll actually use
Every physical key set is an inventoried object. Transfers are one tap: from whom, to whom, when. Before the next check-in, you can see at a glance which manager holds which keys.
Cleaning tickets that create themselves
When a booking flips to checked out, CortoCasa opens a cleaning ticket with duplicate protection — no more “did anyone tell the cleaner?”
Cash between managers and the office
Log rent and deposits per manager. One tap to hand cash over to the office — CortoCasa creates the mirror transaction and updates both balances.
Guest kits over WhatsApp Business
Per-guest link with Wi-Fi, door codes, house rules and local contacts. One-click WhatsApp send, templates in the guest's language.
Multi-tenant, multi-currency, multi-language
Each company is isolated by row-level security. EUR, USD, UAH. English, Spanish, Ukrainian. Built for teams that don't fit a single mold.
How CortoCasa fits alongside what you already use.
| Task | Channel manager (Guesty, Hospitable) | Full-service PM (Vacasa) | CortoCasa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sync availability with Airbnb / Booking | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| Take guest bookings & payments | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| Physical key handover journal | — | Managed for you | ✓ |
| Cleaning tickets & duplicate protection | Limited | Managed for you | ✓ |
| Cash reconciliation manager ↔ office | — | — | ✓ |
| Per-guest kit over WhatsApp | — | — | ✓ |
| Live property ready-state badges | — | — | ✓ |
| Revenue share on your bookings | Flat fee | 20–40% | Flat fee |
Most teams keep their channel manager and add CortoCasa on top. Some replace a full-service PM with their own team plus CortoCasa — and keep the 20–40% for themselves.
Common questions about short-term rental management.
How much does short-term rental management software cost?
CortoCasa starts free for one property. Pro is $29/month for up to 15 properties. Business is $79/month unlimited. Enterprise vacation-rental PMS typically costs $8–$25 per unit per month plus setup fees.
Do I need software if I only have a few units?
If you're managing more than one property or working with a partner, yes. Spreadsheets and group chats stop scaling around the third property — keys go missing, cleanings get double-booked, cash gets forgotten.
Can I manage short-term rentals remotely?
Yes. With smart locks or keybox codes, a local cleaner, and CortoCasa to coordinate them, one operator can run a portfolio remotely. The trick is turning every recurring task — cleaning, check-ins, cash pick-ups — into a tracked ticket rather than a message in a group chat.
PMS, channel manager, operations software — what's the difference?
A PMS is the system of record for a property. A channel manager pushes availability and rates to Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo. Operations software — CortoCasa — handles what happens on the ground: keys, cleaning, cash and guest communication.
