Expedia is the oldest channel on the market. We are in the process of onboarding for all our properties, new signed properties will be uploaded as we go. Estimated Time For Arrival (ETA ) is estimated at 3-4 weeks.

We will get  Full Sync (!!!) via our channel manager, which means we can process everything about particular booking via Expedia within our backend IT system.Convenience, ease of management which is translated to spot on hosting experience for our guests and better availability, reporting and revenue streams handling for our owners.

Number of supported channels :  4 (5)

Number of supported websites: 10 (15+)

We have more channels to onboard with. Let us know if have any interest to be published on the following systems:

We are aware that the majority of the bookings will be coming through “main” channels/websites such as Airbnb or Booking.com, but in our opinion if you still have availability with your properties, it would not hurt to advertise the same elsewhere. Thank you for your support.

OLR: We love our guests and our guests love us too.

Here is some recent feedback/reviews from our valuable guests, didn’t change a word, including original spelling and grammar:

I enjoyed and loved my stay at this place. Kitchen was nice. Was able to cook. Bathroom was nice. Bed comfortable. A.c. and cable tv. Love the neighborhood and neighbors. Everyone was nice. Even used there laundry facility to wash. Close to major hotels. Able to go to hard rock cafe beach and pool whenever I wanted and able to bring 4 friends with me for free. I love my birthday stay here !! Will come again and use them. And there driver Mikey is great , excellent hospitality !!

Keshawna Harmon

Great place to stay! Looks just like the pictures, everything was very clean and comfortable. Konstyantyn was able to accommodate us on short notice because our flight was delayed, and it worked out perfectly. There are several restaurants within walking distance, and the views of the marina and the boats around Sea Wind made it a really nice area to stay in.

Joseph Behlendorf

Amazing, clean everything he describes is what your going to get…. the location is extremely safe. The pool is beautiful over looking the ocean there is a gym. I didn’t want to leave. I had ever thing I needed to feel at home and that’s what I needed having 2 kids traveling with us (infant 8month) and (10 year old) the price is amazon for what you get. I hope that Konstyatyn will have me again because I’d love to o e back and stay there gain. Thank you so much

Listed: New OLR property at Seawind On The Bay, Freeport, Montego Bay

We are excited to announce that we have a new property to market and manage. It is located in one of most established and tranquil communities in Freeport. Simple, comfortable and on the budget, just across the beach @ Hardrock Cafe and next to the Mobay Yacht Club.

We know Seawind On The Bay inside and out and build up a rapport with management of the complex, security and helpers on site.

We would like to expand our portfolio at Seawinds, the property has amazing potential for short term rentals. We can feel it and see it. Not all properties at the complex are ready for the market though, but this is another story, which can have a happy ending if owner[s] will be willing to make improvements to get to the level required by the market.

No problems with onboarding. Our professional photographer did an excellent job:

Announcement: OLR added our properties to Booking.com. Banzai !

We have signed an agreement with www.booking.com to list, advertise and process bookings via their network of websites.

We got some bookings!

Number of channels supported: 5

Almost there. Expedia is next. Thank you for your patience.

What are the channels and why do you must get on as many as you can ?

Ok. Channels. Airbnb is a channel. It is a website that brings plenty of potential guests who are looking for a place to stay. There are quite a few channels out there. Airbnb is one of the industry leaders, but there are other “monsters” out of there such as Booking.com, Homeway/VRBO, TripAdvisor (and other sites that they own), Expedia, etc.

Some guests like Airbnb and some are using Booking.com. In order to get as many bookings as possible we want to be on all major and also niche (if applicable to our market segment) channels as well.

More channels for your listings means more potential bookings -> more income.

In the same time, more channels translates to more problems, which needs to be addressed or/and resolved: synchronizations of the calendars, booking tracking and follow up, different pricing entry points (each channel has their own fees and other trickery). Don’t fret, this is our job, as well as getting your properties to all major channels to bring you more wonderful guests and additional revenue.
