Operator-built · for glamping & boutique holiday lets
Every guest walks into a place that's exactly right.
Beacon is the AI-native operations platform for holiday-rental hosts. It verifies your turnovers, answers your phone, and watches the property — so nothing slips before a guest arrives.
One property free · no card · live in five minutes
Why it's different
Most tools give you a checklist. Beacon does the hard part.
01
It checks the work
Cleaners photograph each check and AI grades it in seconds — Ready, Not ready, or Needs review. Not a tick in a box: proof the place is guest-ready.
02
It answers the phone
An AI receptionist answers your number using your own property guides — check-in, the hot tub, availability — and captures booking enquiries 24/7.
03
It watches the property
Live sensors from your smart home — hot tub temperature, leaks, heating — with custom alerts that catch a problem before the guest does.
How it works
From clean to confirmed in three steps.
01
Set up your stays
Add your properties and the extras they offer -- hot tub, sauna, pizza oven. Beacon builds the checklist and a guest guide that also powers your phone agent.
02
Inspect on turnover
Your cleaner runs the checks on their phone and photographs each one. AI verifies the result in seconds -- pass, fail, or needs a second look.
03
Welcome your guest
On completion the guest gets a branded summary with their access details. Your morning view shows anything that still needs you.
Everything in one place
Built for the people who run the place.
AI verification
Catches what humans miss
Every photo checked in under five seconds. Dust, smudges, a missing throw -- flagged before the guest arrives, with a pass-rate history per property.
Voice agent
A 24/7 front desk
An AI receptionist answers from your guides, checks live availability, and takes booking enquiries -- emailing you a summary of every call.
Sensors & alerts
Eyes on the property
Live smart-home readings with custom thresholds. A cold hot tub or a leak emails you and flags your morning screen before it becomes a bad review.
Guest portal
Proof, automatically delivered
A branded page with check-in, wifi, the hot tub guide and local tips. Guests confirm it's spotless -- or flag an issue with a photo -- before it costs you a review.
One source of truth
Write the guide once
The same guide powers your guest page, your cleaners' notes, and your phone agent. Update the wifi once; everything stays in sync.
The operator's morning
What needs you, at a glance
One screen: turnovers to finish, sensor alerts, open issues, today's arrivals. Or a single green line: all clear.
Bookings & calendar
Turnovers create themselves
Sync your calendar from your channels. A check-out becomes a turnover automatically -- one tap to start it.
Maintenance
Nothing falls through
Anyone on the team logs a job and marks it done; managers review and close. High-priority jobs rise to the top.
Built for the field
Mobile-first, one-handed
The whole cleaner experience is built for a phone in one hand and a cloth in the other. No app to install.

Why we built it
Built by a host, not a software company.
Beacon started because running our own holiday lets meant juggling a cleaning app, a calendar, a guidebook tool, a spreadsheet, and a lot of “is the place actually ready?” texts. None of it talked to each other, and none of it actually checked the work.
So we built the tool we wished existed — and we run our own properties on it every single day. When you sign up, you're using the same software we trust with our own guests.
