Holiday rental

Every property has an owner. No two owners have the same deal

One owner is paid based on bookings for their own property. The second shares the income of a rental pool. The third owns a share of that pool and no property at all. The fourth is guaranteed a fixed sum whether their property lets or not. And all of them want their own weeks. Maxxton settles all four from the same booking record, across every location and every channel selling the property.

The opportunity

Maxxton's home management software keeps every holiday booking in one record, even when the properties aren't yours. Everything that makes this business hard follows from that one fact, and so does everything that makes it scalable.

Sign the next owner

Growth is one owner at a time

Portfolios in this business grow unit by unit, not resort by resort. A new location can go live with a single signed unit and fill as owners join, inheriting the rate structure and channel setup already in place. The second owner should not be a second project.

Sell it everywhere

Without ever selling it twice

List the same property on your website and on several marketplaces at the same time. With one availability record behind all of them, a double booking goes from a monthly incident to something that cannot happen.

Deliver without a desk

Give guests hotel service, without the front desk

Guests expect hotel standards from a property with nobody in it. Scheduled cleaning, logged inspections, mobile maintenance and connected access turn that into a process rather than a favour someone remembers to do.

Why holiday rental operators run on Maxxton

Maxxton runs 400+ locations, 13 countries and 50K+ accommodations across the platform, built for the holiday rental sector since 1998 with shared ownership in the core rather than added later. Nothing below is a roadmap item.

Run your entire holiday rental operation on one platform

Every ownership model. One settlement run

Maxxton supports four types of owner contracts. With an owner-specific contract, the owner is paid on the bookings of their own property. In a rental pool, a group of owners share the income of all properties in the pool. With a pool share, an owner holds a share in the pool without owning a property. With rent assurance, the owner receives a fixed amount every year, regardless of occupancy.

The contract type is set once per owner, so every statement follows the deal that the owner actually signed, rather than being rebuilt by hand each period.

  • Owner-specific, pool, pool share and rent assurance contracts
  • Pool income distributed first, then settled per owner
  • Own-use allowances set in the contract and booked by owners through their portal
  • Cost recharges, work-order billing and DAC7 reporting from the same data

Frequently asked questions

What happens when no two owners are on the same deal?

Different owner agreements are standard in Maxxton Owner Management, which models each deal rather than working around it. Maxxton carries four owner contract kinds: owner-specific, where an owner is paid on their own unit's bookings; pool, where a group of owners share the income of a pool their properties sit in; pool share, where an owner holds a share of that pool rather than a specific unit; and rent assurance, where the owner receives a fixed yearly amount regardless of occupancy. All four settle from the same booking records, in the same statement run.

Can owners still use their own property?

Yes, and own-use is part of the contract, not a favour. Own-use allowances are defined on the owner contract, owners block their own periods through the owner portal, and those blocks come out of availability without anyone rekeying them. Where own-use affects settlement or a letting guarantee, the contract terms drive the calculation.

Is Maxxton a hotel system with a holiday rental label?

No. Maxxton has been built for this sector since 1998, and shared ownership is native, not added later. One operator runs mixed hotel and condominium inventory side by side on the platform, with the condominium units all privately owned. Matt Bailey, President and CEO of Castle Resorts & Hotels, puts it this way: "Maxxton is the workhorse. It can adapt to the hotel model or the vacation rental model depending upon where the customer is coming from."

How do you add a property when you sign one owner at a time?

Portfolios in this segment grow unit by unit, not resort by resort, and the platform is configured that way. You can build out a new location and go live with a single signed unit, then fill as more owners join, with the accommodation type, rate structure, and channel setup already inherited from the group. Adding a second owner isn't a second project.

Do we have to give up our OTA channels?

No. Maxxton is the single record every channel reads from, not a replacement for them. Rates and availability push out to connected OTAs and to your own booking sites from one record, and bookings come back into that same record, so the same unit cannot be sold twice. Operators on the platform run several branded booking sites against one inventory.

How is the property looked after when there is no front desk?

Housekeeping and maintenance schedules are generated from arrivals and departures across every location, and whoever is on site assigns, tracks, and closes tasks by phone. Inspections are logged against the unit so an owner's property is handed over to a standard. Smart lock and access systems connect through the Integration Manager, so guests can arrive at a property with no one there to meet them.

How is guest and payment data protected?

Maxxton is PCI DSS compliant and ISAE-3402 certified. For owners, DAC7 reporting obligations are met from platform data rather than compiled each year separately. These are audited certifications, not assurances, which matters when you are handling other people's property and other people's money.

Can guests book several properties in one reservation?

Yes. Guests can book several properties in one reservation instead of making a separate booking for each.

Can our team get support and advice after launch?

After launch, your team can rely on Maxxton Support for ongoing advice on running your operation.
