Who doesn't dream of a delightful vacation? Yet, it often brings a fair amount of stress, not just for the holiday-goer but also for those who rent out vacation accommodations. Whether it's tiny houses, chalets, holiday villas, B&Bs, or beach houses, the size of your business doesn't matter. As an owner of a vacation rental, you're busy with various tasks, including maintenance issues, coordinating access, administrative duties, and, most importantly, ensuring tenant satisfaction. For holiday rental owners, managing access and keys can become a time-consuming aspect, particularly due to the high volume of diverse guests. Constantly having to manage handing over keys and dealing with lost keys only makes running vacation accommodations more challenging.

Holiday home owners encounter various challenges within their business, but let's focus on those specifically related to access management. Three issues stand out in particular:

• Limited check-in times: As a holiday home owner, you often struggle with restricted check-in times, causing inconvenience for guests arriving outside these hours. This limitation can disrupt travel plans and lead to frustration for guests. However, you also wish to avoid sacrificing your free time every time a new guest arrives. So, this is quite a difficult scenario.
• Key handover logistics: Coordinating the exchange of keys between guests and owners can be a logistical headache. This process becomes even more complex in scenarios where guests arrive at different times or when multiple properties are managed simultaneously. Ensuring seamless key handovers while maintaining security protocols can be challenging and time-consuming, - leading to potential delays and frustrations for both guests and owners.
• Holiday home safety: Making sure your security measures are excellent is crucial for protecting your property and ensuring the safety of both your guests and their belongings.

A digital access management solution can enhance key management by providing increased security, flexibility, and efficiency. This smart access solution offers benefits to both holiday home owners as well as guests.

Bold Smart Lock offers the most user-friendly, professional access management solution. Installing the Bold Smart Lock only takes 5 minutes and ensures optimal security for your accommodations. Let us help you and explain more about our solution and what it can mean for your business.

We will keep it short and sweet, summarising the benefits for you as a vacation rental owner in 7 bullet points:

Digital key management
Bold introduces a digital key management system empowering managers to seamlessly authorise users' access to devices. Through the Bold app, guests can effortlessly unlock the door to their hotel room, beach villa or treehouse with one simple click. Meanwhile, administrators can monitor activities in real-time, facilitating immediate logging of access history.

With a Bold Business Account, you gain access to the Bold Business Portal, which allows you to easily create and manage groups of users and locks with specific access rights.

Stressless check-in/check-out
Arrange guest check-in times ahead of schedule and send them an email invitation in advance with all the necessary details. As the manager, you don't have to be physically present; guests are able to check in independently via the Bold app. It’s possible to receive notifications whenever specific doors are locked or unlocked. When guests depart, effortlessly revoke access to the accommodation. With the Bold Connect, you can remotely lock and unlock doors from anywhere in the world. Personal plans? Relax as guests, cleaners, and other service providers gain access easily.

Flexible access: Schedule or temporary options
Smart locks offer convenience with additional features that streamline access management. The Bold Smart Lock's 'schedule access' feature enables managers to customise access for individual users. For example, provide guests access for their 5-day stay and schedule cleaner access between 11:00 and 13:00. In addition, you have the capability to grant 'temporary access' to handymen who need to fix something.

Whenever, wherever
You can easily manage access control via the easy-to-use Bold app or in the Bold Business Portal (both accessible on mobile). These platforms allow you to oversee your business operations from anywhere.

The highest level of security
Bold incorporates security measures such as encryption, two-factor authentication, and audit trails to enhance key management security. We also hold the highest security rating with our SKG*** certificate. Additionally, we utilise the most cutting-edge security techniques and uphold the highest industry standards.

Integration with other systems
Bold can be integrated with Property Management Systems (PMS), to provide a comprehensive solution for property managers. This ensures seamless communication and data synchronisation across different aspects of property management.

Design
With its high-quality design, Bold ensures an upgrade for your door in both aesthetics and functionality. It is available for all doors equipped with a Euro-cylinder.

As previously noted, the benefits extend beyond just holiday home owners; guests will also enjoy a variety of advantages.
