Start here
Which kind of host are you?
Four questions. A straight recommendation. You can still read everything either way.
01 — The split
What stays yours, and what we pick up.
Ours to run
- Listing and launchTitle, description, amenities, house rules, photos direction, and the first pricing setup — on a new home or one that has gone quiet.
- Every major OTA, one calendarAirbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Hopper, Google, Tripadvisor, Marriott, and direct booking on palmhosts.com, with availability synced so two families are not promised the same Saturday.
- Pricing for this corridorRates that move for spring break, summer, marathon weekend, Halloween parties, cheer and dance weeks, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — and that come down when the parks are quiet.
- Guest messagesQuestions, check-in, mid-stay issues, and reviews. You stay informed. You do not have to live in the inbox.
- Turnovers and vendorsCleaners, linens, restock, and the repair call when the AC gives up in July. We coordinate the people. You approve anything unusual.
- Your own weeksBlock the holidays you want. The home can earn the other weeks and still be yours for the trip you bought it for.
02 — One stay
What a guest week looks like when you are not the one on call.
During the stay
Inquiry
We answer dates, parking, resort rules, and whether the house fits the group. Speed here is how a listing gets chosen.
03 — This calendar
The Disney corridor does not have one season.
Tap a month. This is the rhythm we price and the rhythm you should block your own trips around.
Peak
March
Spring break fills houses. Minimum stays earn their keep. Owner weeks here are the ones to block early.
Typical rhythm hosts plan around. Not a promise of occupancy or rate.
04 — New host questions
The things people ask before they hand anyone a lock code.
Getting started
What is a co-host, and how is that different from a property manager?
A co-host runs the hosting with you. You keep the listing, the guest relationship, and the payouts. A traditional manager often takes the listing onto their own account and brand. Palm Hosts is the co-host model: local operations, your name still on the home.
Control
Do I still own the listing, the reviews, and the payouts?
Yes. On Airbnb you invite a co-host and choose how much access we get. Guest payouts continue to your account. Reviews stay on your listing, which is the asset you are building. Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, and Hopper do not use Airbnb’s co-host switch — we operate inside your accounts, or connect them through a shared calendar, and we never need to become the merchant of record to do the work.
Getting started
Which sites will my home be listed on?
Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, and Hopper, plus direct booking on palmhosts.com — and the home surfaces on Google, Tripadvisor, and Marriott too. We do not turn every channel on blindly. A home with a strict HOA or a thin photo set might start on one or two sites, then open the others once the calendar and the cleaner can keep up.
The home
Can I block dates and stay in my own vacation home?
That is the point of a second home. You tell us the weeks you want — holidays, school breaks, a random long weekend — and those nights come off every channel. Booked guest stays stay booked. The earlier you mark your trips, the less often we have to choose between a guest and your sofa.
Guests
What actually happens between one guest and the next?
Checkout, inspection, clean, restock, and the next check-in. If something failed — AC, Wi-Fi, a stained mattress — it is logged before the next family arrives, not discovered in a review.
Guests
Who messages guests, and how quickly?
We do. New inquiries and booked guests get a reply the way a local host would: through the day and evening, including weekends. A lockout or an AC failure is treated the same night. You are copied when a decision or a cost is yours. We do not promise a stopwatch we cannot keep.
Before a listing
Ask the HOA first. Then see the state and county fees.
A short walkthrough for Osceola, Orange, the City of Orlando, Polk, Seminole, Lake, Brevard, and Volusia. One question at a time, including on a phone.
For Realtors
When a buyer asks “can we Airbnb it?”
Send the address. We will say whether the parcel and the usual resort rules look like a co-host fit, or whether they should not underwrite the purchase that way. You stay their agent.
How agent introductions work05 — Where we work
Kissimmee and Orlando first. The resort communities by name.
- KissimmeeKissimmee is where a lot of Disney-week houses actually are — and where owners most often confuse a mailing address with a legal jurisdiction.
- OrlandoOrlando is not one rulebook. The city and the unincorporated county treat short stays differently, and Universal-side demand is not the same calendar as a Kissimmee resort condo.
- DavenportA Davenport address often means Polk County, not Osceola, even when the guest thinks they booked Kissimmee.
- ChampionsGateChampionsGate sells the club, the golf, and the proximity. Guests book that promise, then review whether check-in and the clean matched it.
- ReunionReunion owners usually bought a resort life and a rental story in the same closing. The rental story only works if the resort rules and the listing tell the same truth.
- Windsor HillsWindsor Hills is a short drive to the parks and a long list of homes that look alike online. Execution is the difference.
- CelebrationCelebration is a real neighborhood that visitors also love. That combination is why rental rules deserve a slower read than a resort condo on World Drive.
- Lake Buena VistaLake Buena Vista is a promise guests understand — close to Disney Springs and the parks — and a geography owners should still verify parcel by parcel.
- St. CloudSt. Cloud can be a lovely place to own a house. It is a poor place to assume Airbnb is allowed because Kissimmee is twenty minutes away.
