"I am very impressed with their new rate manager. It is amazing and is helping grow our bookings" Derek D., Owner

The foundation for better vacation rental performance

For business success, professional property managers need robust solutions. Escapia delivers with comprehensive features in key areas such as trust accounting, owner management, rates and pricing, guest communications, and reservation management. Our battle-tested trust accounting software is the most reliable in the market, ensuring your accounting is exact, secure, and compliant with industry requirements. Say goodbye to the cost of required accounting add-ons that companies like Guesty require, and say hello to penny-accurate owner statements.  

Escapia’s new Rates Manager allows you to optimize your pricing strategies effortlessly. With dynamic rate adjustments and real-time market data, you can maximize revenue and occupancy. Escapia's Rates Manager seamlessly incorporates first-party data from Vrbo to provide actionable Market Rates insights, while other competitors like Guesty operate off general market data, giving Escapia the Vrbo edge!

Our Communications Hub centralizes all guest messages, making it easier to manage inquiries, bookings, and guest support through email and 2-way text messaging. Escapia also uniquely offers call forwarding so your customers can reach you at a phone number of your choice.  

Escapia also offers the most comprehensive Owner Portal in the vacation rental industry, keeping your property owners informed and satisfied. Most competing software systems don’t offer owner management tools, or their tools don't offer as much functionality as Escapia. With real-time calendar updates, financial statements, performance reports, and more, our portal enhances transparency and trust. Automating these updates reduces the burden on your staff, helps with owner retention, and allows you to focus on growing your business.  

"I am very satisfied with Escapia. Customer support is amazing." Renda F., Owner property manager

Just pick up the phone—our support team is here for you!

Our dedicated support team is always ready to assist, ensuring our customers have knowledgable agents available to help them overcome any challenges. In contrast to many software options like Guesty which require you to submit a ticket to a faceless online system or an AI chat bot, Escapia offers direct phone support with local agents based in the USA.  

We understand the critical nature of your business and how downtime can mean lost bookings, unhappy guests, and thousands in revenue. That’s why our support team is made up of industry experts (some with 15+ years of experience working at Escapia!), and available during extended hours. 

With more than 25 years in the business, we know what our customers need to succeed. Our team is dedicated to helping larger professional property management companies thrive, offering a variety of tools and resources. Whether through dedicated onboarding and implementation teams, personalized 1:1 training sessions, an extensive library of self-serve articles, or professional services classes, we partner with you every step of the way.
