"I was skeptical about another rental platform but Hometel is genuinely different. The AI listing assistant wrote better copy than I ever could. My Natchez cottage was approved same day and booked within 48 hours. The Hometel guests are the most respectful I've ever hosted."
"I list my Destin cottage as vacation in summer and switch to monthly for snowbirds in winter. The ability to flip listing types from the same dashboard is something no other platform offers. My property never sits empty anymore. Hometel is the only platform built for how Southern property owners actually operate."
"As a landlord with five properties in New Orleans I was drowning in lease paperwork. Hometel's long-term module gave me state-specific Louisiana lease templates, online rent collection, and tenant screening all in one place. I've saved 12 hours a month in admin alone. And two of my properties are now on vacation listing too."

By signing up you agree to Hometel's Terms of Service and Host Agreement. No credit card required.
Listing on Hometel is completely free. We charge a platform fee of 8–12% on completed vacation and monthly bookings only — you pay nothing until you earn. For long-term landlord tools (lease templates, tenant screening, rent collection) we offer a flat monthly subscription. No hidden fees, no setup costs.
Most listings are reviewed and approved the same day you submit. Our team reviews your photos, description, and property details for accuracy. Once approved you receive a Hometel Verified badge and your listing goes live immediately.
Absolutely. Hometel supports iCal calendar sync with Airbnb, VRBO, and any other platform that uses iCal. Your availability calendar syncs automatically to prevent double bookings. Many of our hosts earn additional income by listing on Hometel alongside their existing platforms.
Yes — this is one of Hometel's most powerful features. You can list the same property as a vacation rental in summer, switch to monthly snowbird rental in fall, and accept a long-term residential tenant in winter — all from the same host dashboard. Toggle listing types any time based on your income strategy.
All guests are identity-verified before booking. Hometel's Host Guarantee covers property damage claims up to $10,000 per stay. File a damage report within 24 hours of checkout and our team handles the claim directly. We also recommend a security deposit (typically $300–$500) which is collected at booking and refunded after checkout.
No. Most Hometel hosts are remote — they set up self-check-in (lockbox or smart lock) and manage everything through the Hometel dashboard. Our 24/7 support team handles guest issues so you don't have to. You choose how hands-on or hands-off you want to be.
Hometel provides state-specific residential lease templates for Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina — updated regularly by our legal team to comply with current state law. Templates are fully customizable and support digital signatures. Tenant background screening, credit checks, and online rent collection are also included in the landlord toolkit.
