Co-host, channel manager or property manager?

These labels can describe overlapping services. Ask for the actual responsibilities in writing.

Channel management

The focus is the online listing and booking setup: keeping calendars, information and pricing organised. It does not by itself tell you who cleans the property or attends an emergency.

Co-host support

A co-host arrangement may include guest communication and hosting administration. The exact scope depends on what the owner and provider agree.

Property management

A broader service may include local operations as well as online administration. Confirm what is included, who attends the property and what attracts an extra fee.

Where Happy Hideouts fits

Happy Hideouts provides remote systems support for a fixed fee. You keep control of your accounts and payouts and arrange the local team. Choose based on the work you need done, the response arrangements and the total cost.
