Yesterday, we gathered a small group of Orlando STR operators at The Citrus Club for something a little different.

No slides. No pitch deck. Just an honest conversation over lunch about what it actually looks like to run a short-term rental operation in 2026 - where AI fits in, where humans are irreplaceable, and how we navigate the space in between.

The conversation was real, candid, and exactly the kind of dialogue this industry needs more of. It reminded me why I love this community so much.
And honestly? This feels like just the beginning. ✨

We're officially kicking off the Orlando STR Operators Club - a space for local operators to connect, share, and grow together.

📅 Save the Date: September 23rd

We're hosting a Happy Hour the evening before FAVR's Vacation Rental Xtravaganza kicks off - and this will be our official first gathering. Mark your calendars!
To everyone who came out - thank you for showing up, being open, and making the room feel like a community. I can't wait to see you in September. 🙌

One missed message. One bad review. One drop in bookings.

It sounds small, but when 80%+ of guests read reviews before booking, the math adds up fast.

Guest expectations don't pause after hours, and your property's reputation can't afford to either.

The reality? Every message needs to be handled quickly and accurately. Every time. Even at 2am.

That's exactly why Extenteam offers 24/7 guest communication coverage, combining real humans with AI assistance so no message goes unanswered and no review is left to chance.

When your field team is also your phone team, something always gives.
That was the reality for iTrip Aspen Snowmass, a small crew managing luxury vacation rentals in one of Colorado's most demanding markets. Mid-turnover, the phone would ring. Mid-call, a maintenance issue would surface.

In our new customer story, Reservation Manager Kea Pakele shares how a dedicated Extenteam pod took over guest communication and helped the field team get back to the field.

The results:
⭐ Faster response times and stronger guest reviews
🛠️ Field staff focused on properties, not phones
🙌 Extenteam getting named by guests in reviews

April Event Round-Up: London to Denver ✈️

Our team hit the road across three incredible events:
🇬🇧 Short Stay Summit – London
🇬🇧 Hostaway User Conference – London
🇺🇸 VRNation – Denver

From Big Ben to the Rockies, we connected with vacation rental operators from around the world to dig into the conversation everyone's having right now: where AI ends and the human touch begins in short-term rentals.

Our take? You don't have to choose. The best operators are using AI to take work off their plate, without taking the human out of the guest experience.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, shared a coffee, or traded notes with us.
The future of hospitality is being built by people like you.

The STR industry doesn't have a tooling problem. It has an orchestration problem.

That's the argument our Founder, Ari C Eryorulmaz makes in his latest piece for The Host Report. Most operators try to fix the guest journey by stacking another tool on top of the last one. But guests don't see the stack. They feel it, in every repeated verification, mismatched instruction, and delayed response. The journey doesn't break inside any single tool. It breaks in the handoffs.

Ari's take: the next era of operations won't be won by whoever automates the most, but by whoever coordinates the best.

Five questions every operator should ask before adding another tool to the stack
