OwnerRez
Vacation rental management software for channel management, CRM, messaging, accounting and direct-booking websites.
By OwnerRez · 5.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Short-term rental owners and property managers running 1–100+ properties who need direct API channel connections to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Google.
- Operators who want direct-booking websites, unified guest messaging, CRM and owner statements in one platform without per-booking commissions.
- Teams that need one inbox across Airbnb, Vrbo, email and SMS with automated triggers, templates and rental agreements.
Ideal size: 1–100 properties; 2–20 staff people · Established STR operator or property manager with multi-channel listings and a direct-booking brand
Not for
- Hotels and resorts that need front-desk, housekeeping and rate-plan workflows built for nightly hotel operations.
- Operators who want turnkey, zero-configuration setup; customers repeatedly note a steep initial learning curve.
- Businesses that need a full general ledger inside the platform — OwnerRez syncs booking and payment data to QuickBooks rather than replacing it.

Bottom line
OwnerRez is vacation rental (short-term rental) management software for homeowners and property managers. It connects directly via API to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Google rather than charging a percentage of revenue, and bundles a unified guest inbox, CRM, rental agreements, payment processing, owner statements, hosted websites, QuickBooks sync and the Rezzy AI assistant. Pricing is per property from about $88/month with no setup fees, unlimited users and a 14-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
What does OwnerRez cost for a mid-sized property management company?
Pricing is per property on a sliding scale — the page shows $88/month for the base configuration, with the per-property fee falling as portfolios grow. Premium features (Property Management, QuickBooks Integration, Hosted Websites, WordPress plugin, SMS Messaging and Rezzy AI) are billed on top. There are no setup fees, booking fees, guest fees or contracts, and pricing is per account rather than per user.
How long does it take to get live on OwnerRez?
The vendor offers a 14-day free trial that includes premium features. Customers report a fast onboarding video call and data migration, but also note a meaningful initial learning curve because the settings go deep. Plan for roughly two weeks of configuration for a small portfolio, longer for multi-channel and owner-accounting setups.
Does OwnerRez take a percentage of my booking revenue?
No. OwnerRez says it built direct partnerships with the major channels instead of using third-party channel managers, so it does not charge a percentage of your revenue. Booking volume is unlimited with no per-booking or guest fees; payment processing is handled through your own gateway or processor.
Does OwnerRez have an AI or MCP integration?
Yes. OwnerRez ships an official MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible assistants read bookings, revenue, channels and guest data after you authorize the connection. It is read-only and free for every user. Separately, Rezzy AI is the vendor's built-in assistant for guest communication and daily operations, sold as a premium feature.
Is OwnerRez a fit for hotels rather than short-term rentals?
Generally no. OwnerRez is purpose-built for vacation and short-term rentals: channel management, direct-booking websites, guest messaging, CRM, payment processing and owner/commission accounting. It does not provide hotel front-desk, night-audit or rate-plan management, and it is not a general ledger — accounting data syncs to QuickBooks.
