24/7 Secure Access
Using our web-based application allows you to manage your rental from anywhere you have a connection to the internet. Having all of your rental business data on one computer is a thing of the past. You never have to worry about software upgrades or computer compatibility again. Our programmers have built mission critical applications for Fortune 50 companies, so rest assured that your data is secure, backed up regularly and always within your reach.

Simple Property Setup
Let our Property Wizard guide you through property setup step by step. Unlike other listing sites, Big Bridge leverages all of the information you enter about your property, not only for advertising your property on BigBridgeTravel.com, but also to help you share the appropriate information at the appropriate time with prospective renters and those with confirmed reservations.

Support for Multiple Unit Properties
Owners and managers of multiple units know how difficult and expensive it is to use other rental sites where you often pay a separate fee for listing each individual unit. We have eliminated this problem altogether with our support for multiple unit properties. Whether you own a single property with 2 condos or a compound with 10 bungalows, you don't have to pay more to list each unit separately. Our system is designed to handle as many rentals as you own or manage. If you have more than one unit within a property, Property Studio allows you to describe the property as a whole, together with general photos, and then define each unit separately. Each unit has its own listing page, with links to the other units in the property and also to the entire property listing. So for example, if you set up a 3 unit property, you receive 4 separate listing pages; one for each unit and one for the property as a whole.

Automatic Rate and Due Date Calculations
Our powerful rate calendar greatly reduces the time it takes to calculate payment amounts and when they are due. Once you establish the rules for when your deposits and final payments are due, the system automatically calculates these for you, with each reservation you enter.

No Pre-set Photo Limits
Showcasing your photos is easy with our photo gallery building tool. Each account comes with 25mb of disk space to use for photos and email, so unlike most listing sites, there is no preset limit to the number of photos you can upload. After uploading photos, you can add captions and organize them using 'drag and drop' functionality. For multiple unit properties, each photo can be included in more than one gallery to make the most efficient use of the disk space provided.

Dynamic Last Minute Advertising
Our solution is simple. Upcoming un-rented days are automatically advertised on BigBridgeTravel.com using discount guidelines that you define in your property profile for Last Minute advertising. You can also specify minimum stay requirements during discounted periods, as well as set the number of days of advance notice you need to prepare for an arrival. Advertising true Last Minute specials, that are always up to date based on your availability calendar, will help you generate lost income that may not have been captured otherwise.

Custom Property Email Address and Integrated Inquiry Processing
Searching for lost or buried emails in some other location is a thing of the past. We provide you with an integrated email account for each property you set up, to be used exclusively for your rental communications. The email component is completely integrated so that your rental inquiries and follow-up communications are automatically tracked and filed with the associated reservations. Imagine pulling up your reservation details, payment details and all related email communications in one easy to find place.

Email templates that can be customized in your own style
Tired of writing, copying and pasting your standard response to inquiries over and over again? Be consistent and be professional with our built-in response templates that can be customized in your own style. With just a simple click of the mouse and your response is written for you! You can always modify your template message before sending. Different types of templates are designed for responding to inquiries ("dates available", "dates unavailable") and also communicating with renters who have reserved ("payment coming due", "pre-arrival confirmation letter").

Step-by-step online confirmation process for your renters
Your renters now have a way to search availability and confirm reservations online via your Big Bridge listing and your property web site. You are in complete control over who you rent to and we make creating reservations from inquiries as efficient as ever. Once a reservation is created, we provide your renter with a step-by-step online confirmation process where they provide you contact information, additional traveler information, house arrival time, as well as make payment arrangements and acknowledge your rental policy online. These details are all automatically updated in your reservation file.

Integrated credit card payments processed directly to your PayPal account
Using our integrated payments feature, which processes funds directly to your PayPal account, accepting online payments has never been so easy. The process is completely integrated with the online reservation confirmation process, so sending separate payment requests is no longer necessary. Your reservations in Property Studio are automatically updated with payments received so that you have everything organized and accessible in one place. Of course if you accept personal checks, wire transfers, or other forms of payment, you can publish those payment options and log those payments manually in the system.

Custom publishing options for certain information about your property
You have complete control over what information you wish to publish and when. You may choose to make some information public for anyone to see on your listing page (such as guest activities or web links), or secure it for renters with confirmed reservations only (such as house and arrival information or specific directions to your property). At the end of the confirmation process, renters with confirmed reservations have online access to whatever information you choose to publish for them via their online reservation summary.

Availability calendars with internal color-coding of reservation status
Our powerful availability calendars are the drivers of efficiency in Property Studio. You can easily include a link to your public availability calendar from any existing property web site to advertise both availability and last minute specials without any extra work. Your internal calendars are color coded so you can easily distinguish between available days, last minute discounted days and booked reservations, which are then further color-coded by reservation status. This allows you to see at a glance which reservations are pending, which have deposits paid and those paid in full.

Arrival and departure event calendar for staff
A separate "event calendar" view can be shared with your staff either by providing a web link for your staff to view online, or by printing the calendar to a pdf file to send by email. This view of the calendar allows you to see guest arrivals and departures, with an optional setting to show payments due.

Download reservation data into excel
Want a back-up copy of your reservation data or need to print a list of your reservations? No problem, simply download it into an excel spreadsheet directly from your online reservation list, or from the event calendar.

Automated and customizable renter follow-up reminders!
Personalize payment reminders, confirmation messages and other follow-up items in your own style using our customizable email templates! Renters receive automatic confirmation when payments are received and other reminders are sent out automatically based on your your custom settings for each reminder type. You'll never again waste time following up on missing items such as deposits, house arrival times or signed rental agreements.

Integrated online guest book and suggestion tracking
We make it easy for your guests to provide you with testimonials and valuable feedback about your rental, which you can then use to market your property via your property web site. You have complete control over what gets posted. This tool is essential for anyone serious about marketing their property and improving the rental experience for others.

Sign up for Free and no credit card information is required. We provide you with a secure login to our Property Studio application, where you can enter as many properties as you'd like.

The set-up wizard will guide you through the process one step at a time. You will be prompted for property details, photos, and rules for your renters. You will define parameters that will be used to calculate rates, rental dates available, last minute discounts and other reservation details.

Don't let your property sit vacant during the next 45 days when we can advertise Last Minute discounts and help you generate lost income. You tell us how many days in advance to look, what your discount should be and other rules that apply, and your last minute deals will automatically be listed on BigBridgeTravel.com. We take the work out of knowing when to drop the price and managing discounted days, to provide you with income you would have otherwise lost.

Your property will be advertised on BigBridgeTravel.com every day of the year, for free. Property Studio is yours to use, for free.

Pop3 email integration allows you to manage all of your rental inquiries through our system, even those that come from other listing sites. You can easily navigate between your reservations, availability calendar, and create reservations from within the email. Already have an email address used exclusively for your property? No problem, just forward that mail to your Big Bridge account and still achieve all the same benefits described above.

You have complete control over your reservations, which can be entered manually or created easily easily from an inquiry with just a few clicks. Payment reminders and other follow-up messages are generated in your own personalized style and can be scheduled for automatic deliver. All correspondence is stored with the reservation for better tracking and easy reference. Your availability calendar is updated automatically as each booking occurs and reservations are updated automatically with each online payment.

You decide the payment options that work best for you, whether it's payment by bank transfer, wire, PayPal, check or credit card. Sending separate payment requests is a thing of the past. Online credit card payments are processed directly into your PayPal account and your reservations in Property Studio are automatically updated. Imagine accessing all of your reservation details, rental email communications and rental payments... all in one place!

Our system goes a long way to improve the overall renter experience, starting with the initial inquiry and lasting well beyond the check-out date. Upon making a reservation, the renter has online access to reservation details, payment history and other helpful information that you choose to share about your property. This includes house & arrival instructions, maps & directions, local activities, web links and much more.

In addition to guest testimonials, we help you solicit suggestions from your renters, which provide you with continuous feedback about the rental experience you offer. You can send your renters a "Thank You" automatically after they check-out, with a link to your online guest book. We notify you when guest feedback has been received and let you decide what to include on your listing page.
