Why we built Sane Host

If you host one or two places, your “operation” is basically your brain.

That’s fine—until it isn’t.

At some point the same problems keep repeating:

• you’re juggling Airbnb + VRBO + personal plans
• you have one or more cleaners, maybe a co‑host
• you need to send schedules, access details, and reminders
• and the cost of a mistake isn’t theoretical (it’s a missed cleaning, an unhappy guest, a scramble on check‑in day)

The tools in the ecosystem tend to assume one of two extremes:

1. you’re a single host doing everything manually, forever, and
2. you’re a full property management company with a complex stack and staff.

We built Sane Host for the middle—small operators who want a simple system that:

• aggregates calendars (so you can stop “tab‑checking”)
• keeps the team aligned (so cleaners have the right schedule)
• surfaces what’s coming up (so you remember the important things on the right day)
• saves time on repetitive messages (so you’re not rewriting the same notes)

This blog will stay practical and specific: real hosting scenarios, what went wrong, and what we changed so it doesn’t happen again.

If you’ve ever said “I swear I sent that schedule…” you’re in the right place.
