Case Study: Condo Vivaldi achieves commission-free direct bookings and streamlined channel management with Lodgify

How a Channel Manager Helped This Airbnb Superhost Turn His Business Around

Condo Vivaldi, a single‑property rental run by Philippe St‑Pierre near Mont‑Orford, struggled when relying solely on listing platforms like Airbnb, HomeAway and TripAdvisor: high commissions, limited control over bookings, last‑minute scams and even vandalism left rental nights barely covering costs. To regain control and profitability, Philippe turned to Lodgify and its vacation rental software — notably the website builder and Channel Manager.

Lodgify delivered an all‑in‑one solution (website builder, Channel Manager, centralized calendar, reservation system and payment gateways) that let Condo Vivaldi launch a mobile‑friendly direct booking site, sync channels in real time to avoid double bookings, and manage payments and disputes without platform commissions. As a result, Philippe regained control of the booking process, stopped paying commissions on direct bookings, saved significant time, eliminated double bookings, improved guest experience (several 5‑star reviews) and boosted the business’s profitability.
