Escapia has the best trust accounting in the business

Escapia is an excellent product, it's complete vacation rental management software with great trust accounting. We get good support, we feel the product is continually being improved, and we trust in its accuracy. We also value the many integrations available to help us take advantage of as many OTA's as possible.

Pros:

Escapia's robust trust accounting is the best we've found. Reports continue to improve. We are confident in our ability to accurately account for all funds under our control.

Cons:

Correspondence is the weakest aspect. The templates aren't the most beautiful things and we don't have enough flexibility or control. Does the job but does it without much wasted effort on style.

Reasons for choosing Escapia

better accounting software that gives a skilled user more flexibility and capabilities.

Pros:

Escapia has a lot of features: EscapiaNET allows you to distribute units to many listing sites and other softwares, the rate engine and fees allow you to set up a lot of rate rules etc, and the reservation grid makes it easy to see which units are booked when. There are also a lot of reports available to generate from Escapia.

Cons:

Escapia's biggest con really is that it is so complicated. Nothing is easy to do in Escapia, nothing is intuitive. Even after using it for years I still have a hard time remembering and figuring out where everything is. There is a lot of support documentation, but even that isn't always easy to use, and some of it is outdated.

Satisfied Escapia users for over 10 years!

We have worked with Escapia for over 10 years and have been pleased with our decision to stay with Escapia over that time. Occasionally we have reviewed other software options and still come back to staying with Escapia for their trust accounting, distribution networks, support team, and ease of function.

Pros:

We have always maintained a great working relationship with Escapia, their support team, and integration partners. As the industry evolves, we have been pleased with product updates and also use third-party companies who align with Escapia to meet our individual business needs.

Cons:

It would be nice to have a few more basic functions included in Escapia. We currently have to use third-party companies for housekeeping, maintenance and guest communication functionality as the version offered in Escapia does not meet our current needs.

Reasons for choosing Escapia

Greater distribution and alignment with VRBO network.

Functionality

Pros:

We have been with Escapia for 3 years. This platform has worked well for us as a property management platform. We appreciate the prompt responses when we have questions and concerns. We have no plans to change platforms since all is working so well with them. We are excited about some of the changes that will be added over the next few months to their system!

Cons:

The on-boarding was very difficult for us since we had never had such a robust system. We would have paid more to have someone do the set-up for us because it was difficult to devote time to the onboarding while still operating our business.

Reasons for choosing Escapia

It incorporated the most options on what we were searching for, and many great aspects we didn't even realize we needed.

Reasons for switching to Escapia

It was geared more towards B&B's instead of vacation rentals.

We talk with account managers on a monthly basis with other vacation rental management products (Beyond, Real Tech, local social media marketing team, etc.)

Good Product. Need better Customer Service!

It's been good overall and we do not have that many issues anymore. Mostly with updates, changes happen. Like last week there was an update and for some reason some of our units pictures were affected and caused them to be off our website.
