House-by-House Details
Use the House buttons in the bar above to switch. "Show All" expands everything (also used for printing).
Each house shows: how it rents (12-mo revenue/occupancy/rating) · listing links · codes & locks · internet ·
key systems · full appliance inventory · the questions guests always ask · open issues.
About the numbers & the "what guests ask" lists: rental stats are the
trailing-12-month figures from the Jun 11 2026 Hospitable export (full trends on each house's
Insights link). We do not yet have a mined archive of past guest complaints — structured
complaint logging only began 2026-06-24 — so the "what guests always ask / quirks" list is the practical
stand-in: the recurring, house-specific things guests get tripped up by, pulled from each property's knowledge base.
Listing deep-links (Airbnb / VRBO): the buttons marked
"add link" are placeholders — paste the live listing URL and it becomes a real button. On file we have
6 VRBO listing IDs (2927628, 3287702, 3897074, 4871244, 4935380, 5219652) and one Airbnb room URL, but the
exact URL→house mapping isn't confirmed, so nothing is wired yet to avoid pointing to the wrong unit.
Hand Doug the correct URL per house and it gets wired in.
