Stand Out on Airbnb and VRBO
Listings with virtual tours get up to 40% more bookings and significantly higher engagement. On platforms where guests scroll past hundreds of properties, a 3D tour stops them on yours.

FAQ
Common Questions About Vacation Rental Tours
How long does a scan take?
A typical 1-2 bedroom condo takes 60-90 minutes. Larger homes with outdoor areas may take 2-3 hours. We schedule around your guest calendar to avoid any disruption.
Can I embed the tour on my Airbnb or VRBO listing?
Yes. We provide a shareable link that works on all major platforms including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and your own website. Guests can walk through your property on any device.
Do you offer discounts for multiple units?
Yes. We offer volume pricing: $300/unit for 5+ units, $275/unit for 10+, and $250/unit for 20+. Property managers with large portfolios should ask about our dedicated pricing.
What about Bill 9 and STRH permits?
With Bill 9 phasing out apartment-zoned short-term rentals by 2029-2031, competition for bookings is intensifying. A 3D tour gives your permitted property a competitive edge that maximizes revenue during the remaining permit years.
How much does hosting cost after the first 6 months?
Ongoing hosting is $25 per month after the included 6-month period. This keeps your tour live, accessible, and updated on the Matterport platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about virtual tours for vacation rentals.
How much does a virtual tour cost for my vacation rental?
Our vacation rental packages start at $350 for studios and 1-bedroom units (under 1,500 sq ft), $450 for 2-3 bedroom homes, and $550 for larger properties up to 4,000 sq ft. We also offer multi-unit discounts: $300/unit for 5+ units, $275 for 10+, and $250 for 20+. One extra booking at your nightly rate typically pays for the entire tour.
Will a virtual tour actually increase my bookings?
Yes. Listings with virtual tours see up to 40% more bookings according to Matterport analysis of property listing performance. Guests spend 5-10 times longer engaging with 3D tours than with photo galleries alone, which builds confidence and drives conversion. On Maui, where most guests book sight-unseen from the mainland, that confidence gap is the biggest barrier to booking.
How long does the scanning process take?
A typical 1-2 bedroom condo takes 60-90 minutes. Larger homes with outdoor areas may take 2-3 hours. We schedule around your guest calendar so there is zero disruption to your rental business. The finished tour is usually delivered within 48 hours.
Do I need to prepare my property before the scan?
We recommend a clean, staged property with good lighting. Remove personal clutter, open blinds for natural light, and make sure all rooms are accessible. Think of it like preparing for your best listing photos -- the scan captures everything visible, so the better the space looks, the better the tour performs.
How does the virtual tour work with Airbnb and VRBO listings?
We provide a shareable link that works on all major platforms including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and your own direct booking website. You can add the link to your listing description or share it directly with inquiring guests. The tour works on any device -- desktop, tablet, or phone -- with no app required.
