Case Study: Sunset Properties achieves more bookings and automated calendar updates with Escapia

How RedAwning & HomeAway Software Help Customers Drive More Bookings

HomeAway Software helped Sunset Properties, a Gulf Shores, Alabama vacation rental manager, tackle declining occupancy caused by seasonality, inventory changes, and growing competition. Their main challenge was keeping reservation calendars accurate across multiple booking sites to maximize bookings and reduce gaps.

By using Escapia with RedAwning’s distribution network (50+ channels including integrations to Airbnb and Booking.com) and V12.NET for unit-level control, Sunset Properties achieved real-time rate, availability, and reservation syncing so calendars update automatically and travelers receive instant confirmations. The result: broader exposure, fewer empty nights, and more bookings—RedAwning fills calendar gaps while HomeAway/VRBO and direct channels continue to drive the majority of reservations.
