Believe you can self-manage an Airbnb if someone helped you get started?

You’re in the right place.

For many property owners, the ideal scenario is hiring a

management company to take care of everything. But with today’s high interest rates and rising cleaning costs, full-service property management may not be in the budget. That’s where House2Play comes in. Our setup services give you the same professional tools used by the big players, allowing most guests to check in and out without you lifting a finger.

Professional Tech Stack with Full Automation

You’ll be equipped with the same tools used by leading vacation rental companies, but tailored

for independent owners. These systems make your rental run smoothly, save you time, and

create a professional guest experience at a fraction of the cost of a property manager.

OwnerRez

Centralized software that manages bookings, guest communication, calendar sync,

payment processing, financial reporting, and smart lock integration.

PriceLabs

Dynamic pricing software that automatically adjusts your nightly rates based on

seasonality, demand, and local competition. This helps you stay competitive and

maximize revenue.

Calendar Sync Across Platforms

I will ensure your availability stays perfectly synced between Airbnb, VRBO, and other

platforms to prevent double bookings and scheduling confusion.

Cleaner Calendar Sync

Your cleaning team will receive automated updates based on new reservations, ensuring

smooth turnovers without the need for back-and-forth coordination.

Automated Guest Messaging

Customized messages are sent automatically to guests at every stage of their stay.

 

From booking confirmation to check-in instructions and checkout reminders, your

communication stays timely and professional.

Auto Door Code Generation

Each guest receives a unique smart lock code created automatically for their stay. This

adds convenience, improves security, and removes the need for key exchanges.

Self Check-In Process

With synchronized calendars, auto-generated codes, and automated messaging, guests

can check in easily and reliably without your direct involvement.

 

This setup gives you the freedom of managing your own rental, with the efficiency and polish of a full-service management system.

Local Market Focus

H2P works specifically in two of the Midwest's most active lakefront rental markets:

● Lake of Egypt

● Lake of the Ozarks

 

These are communities I know well. I understand guest expectations, seasonal traffic, local service providers, and how to position your listing to succeed. Every recommendation is made with your local market in mind.

Lake

Planning to Buy a Lake Rental Property?

If you’re scouting for Lake of Egypt properties, I’m a licensed Realtor in Illinois who can guide you.

I’ll help evaluate property listings based on rental potential, layout, location, and guest

appeal so you can make informed decisions before you invest.

With You Every Step
of the Way

Co-Hosting for Your First 3 Stays

You get full support through your first three guest experiences. I assist with communication, check-ins, reviews, and problem-solving so you learn with confidence.

One-on-One Host Training

You’ll be personally trained on every tool I set up for you. I’ll show you how to manage calendars, adjust pricing, respond to guests, and track performance.

You keep full ownership and control, while I set up the systems, tools, and processes that give you a head start. This is not a management service, it’s expert setup and support designed to help you launch and grow.
