Case Study: DoCo Vacation Rentals achieves 50% time savings and task automation with Hostfully

How a family-owned vacation rental company uses integrations to reduce repetitive tasks, boost profits and facilitate growth

DoCo Vacation Rentals is a family-owned vacation rental business run by Rob and Suzie Esposito in Door County, Wisconsin that scaled from one part-time condo to 13 dedicated units. Their challenge was that nearly all operations—reservations, guest communications, pricing and cleaning coordination—were manual and time-consuming, so they needed a flexible property management platform; they chose the Hostfully Property Management Platform (PMP).

Using Hostfully and key integrations (Breezeway for turnover/cleaning and PriceLabs for dynamic pricing), DoCo automated task assignment, real-time rate updates across channels, and guest check-in via Hostfully Digital Guidebooks and triggers. The result: Rob estimates roughly 50% time savings, eliminated manual pricing and cleaner coordination, and freed capacity to market, expand the portfolio and pursue further automation with Hostfully-led integrations.
