The Challenge
As a high-touch, boutique vacation rental company, Stars Vacation Homes was committed to delivering premium guest experiences across every one of its homes. However, as their portfolio grew, so did the operational complexity:
Manual tasks for check-ins, check-outs, and access control
Rising energy costs due to HVAC misuse
Pool heater management requiring staff intervention
Lack of central visibility across properties
Need for a reliable, scalable automation infrastructure
The leadership team sought a technology partner that could provide seamless PMS integration, robust automation tools, and remote control over all essential smart systems. Enter EasyHub.
Real-Time Integration with Guesty PMS
Thanks to EasyHub’s deep integration with Guesty PMS, all guest reservations are synced instantly and automatically with the EasyHub platform.
This powers:
Auto-generated lock codes for every booking
Scheduled automation for thermostats and pool heaters
Unified device control across web and mobile
Zero manual data entry or cross-system syncing
The result? More control, fewer mistakes, and more time back for the operations team.
