### Does a lot of stuff... if you can figure it out

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Bradley D.
- Industry: Real Estate
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: September 2018
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### 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 There is a lot of support documentation, but even that isn't always easy to use, and some of it is outdated.

Escapia is an excellent product, it's complete vacation rental management software with great trust accounting.

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

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2025

Overall, the experience has been very positive. Support has always been incredibly helpful, and our client representative has been outstanding—always responsive and reliable for years!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The ease of use, particularly the global search function, is the most frequently used and favorite feature.

#### Cons

The reporting feature is slow and struggles to pull large amounts of historical data at once. A simple addition, like the ability to email vendors an AP report, would be a valuable improvement.

We have been very pleased, overall. We use the customer support option frequently and appreciate their help.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate the kind words and look forward to growing our product for you.

### Solid Property Management Software with Excellent Trust Accounting

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Melanie B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Hospitality
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I have been using Escapia for 5 years now and overall it has saved us an incredible amount of hours we used to spend doing things manually. It does take a considerable amount of time to setup automations, owner contracts, etc. and just learn all the ins and outs in general. However, their implementation teams are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and they have great training articles and videos.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The trust accounting capabilities within the system has greatly improved the speed and accuracy in which we complete our month end accounting procedures, and also provides our owners with very detailed financial statements. Also their integration/mapping with Vrbo is second to none.

#### Cons

They are working on a lot of new features and improvements which is very exciting. However, sometimes they announce them way too early in my opinion and they should instead have a solid launch date to provide before announcing.

#### Reasons for choosing Escapia

Recommendations from colleagues, price, and distribution/integration with popular vacation rental booking sites.

#### Reasons for switching to Escapia

RDP is quite antiquated and did not have good distribution to vacation rental booking sites.

### Escapia is the best tool for our business from a field of imperfect tools

Overall it is the best vacation rental management software we found. There is no perfect VR software out there so we had to compromise. In the end we chose Escapia because the Trust Accounting is reliable and trustworthy and it has most of the functionality we need.

#### Pros

Trust Accounting is very trustworthy. Correspondence module is comprehensive. [sensitive content hidden]Statements are good. Reservation management has good work flow. Tech support is decent (though sometimes takes too long).

#### Cons

The new Rates Manager has fewer capabilities than the previous version. Correspondence doesn't allow uploads of PDFs so our 'letters' look glitchy.

Trust Accounting was superior with Escapia.

This is your one stop shop. Escapia connects seamless to your VRBO listings, so you can manage headlines and guest inquiries right from Escapia. We have tried other softwares that boosted in helping our business, but the lack of support those companies gave us, ultimately made us stop using them. We have a million parts moving each day and we need a central hub that keeps everything on track. Escapia is that for us!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

The support we receive from the Escapia team has been like no other software companies we have used! The changing over to Escapia was hard for our team who have been using v12, but the Escapia team made sure we were comfortable being going live. The new rates manager is amazing! It makes setting and adjusting rates a breeze! No more looking at different windows and setting rate rules . Its all in one screen.

#### Cons

We are missing some key reports we used in V12, but the Escapia team has listened to our requests and are working on new reporting for Escapia. Its a learning curve to switch software companies, but its been worth it.

#### Reasons for choosing Escapia

We choose Escapia because it was the full package. We knew this system would support our trust accounting and give us confidence in moving forward as our company was growing and making more and more reservations. Also, the Escapia team has invested with us. They didn't just give us the software and walk away. They stayed with us as we got up and running. They gave us the support we didn't even know we needed during a crazy year -2020! We couldn't run and grow our business without a PM system that we trusted and worked to help us grow. The Escapia team is listening to us with suggestions.

#### Reasons for switching to Escapia

V12 had reached the end of its software life.

Our overall experience has been a good one. I know there will always be hiccups along the way, but being able to reach out to a responsive support team is critical. So if it wasn't for the Escapia support team coming to the rescue during those times, my rating would probably not be as good.

### Great Software for Vacation Rental Business

Great software for a small to medium sized vacation rental business!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Switching from our old PMS was handled very well by the implementation staff and we are so glad we made the move! The most important part to our decision to switch was the integration with VRBO/Homeaway and bring able to work with a website host/digital marketing agency that understands our PMS.

#### Cons

The service order module is not set up well for how we run our maintenance staff. Our staff is not able to enter a task assigned to a unit number with an amount of time associated with it, that we can then transfer to an owner statement to be charged. There are too many fields that need to be filled out and it just doesn't make sense for us.

#### Reasons for switching to Escapia

RMS was not easy to integrate with VRBO or Homeaway. We wanted a cloud based option like Escapia.

It makes the ease of making reservation easy for our staff overall and the guests have less wait time on the phone while making a reservation. The ease of adjusting rents and creating rate rules allows for more revenue at the end of each year without any mistakes.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

So many great things to say it is hard to know where to start. It is so easy to keep track of what is being completed where and by who. Always time stamps with names on holds, reservations, payments, refunds as well as email correspondence. The visual calendar is another added bonus because it gives a great overall picture of each home and dates that are and are not available so filing spots is very easy. The quick quote feature is fabulous as you can pick a home in the drop down menu and apply any filter and discounts that you already have up to any home easily. Web based is a very huge bonus because you are able to view any information on any device no matter where you are. The software also links up to many other sites so linking and sharing homes and rates is as easy as clicking a button and everything feeds right over. The quick search button at the top makes it very easy to find reservations that are valid or cancelled without having to use many steps.

#### Cons

When adding some new charges they can be hard to track if you are not 100% sure which report that you should be running to find them. Processing revenue can be difficult at some times when guests are in house and reservations crossover between months. This is mostly because if you need to adjust a reservation and revenue has already been processed it can cause some errors with commissions. Just have to be extra aware of what you are doing to not make any mistakes.

I have used Escapia with 3 different companies. It has come a long way as far as development. Setting up rates is actually doable now before it was virtually impossible

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

User friendly, easy to keep track of accounting and reservations. Has come a long way in the last 10 years

#### Cons

Customer service is not that helpful. We have been trying to set up our software to where it is live and not have to manually input everything from VRBO but Escapia staff has been little help because we only manage about 15 vacation rental properties at the moment. Escapia customer service should give the same attention to smaller businesses as they do the ones with more VR inventory

I am very impressed with their new rate manager. It is amazing and is helping grow our bookings.

It took them too long to connect with Airbnb. More business reports that can be intergrated into the business dashboard. Create owner projection reports to help us grow our inventory.

#### Reasons for choosing Escapia

At the time when I signed up 12 years ago there wasn't a lot of options. However the options that were available didn't compare to escapia.
