Case Study: Loutan Rentals + Lodgify + TIDY

Loutan Rentals is a well-run vacation rental operation in Florida managing a curated portfolio of homes focused on comfort, hospitality, and a smooth guest experience. They care about doing things right: well-prepared homes, efficient communication, and an operation that feels stable and predictable even during high season.

But anyone in hospitality knows: when you manage multiple properties, the work is constant. Reservations flow in from different channels, turnovers need to be perfectly timed, and every home needs to meet the same high standard, every single stay.

To keep the business organized and scalable, Loutan Rentals needed a PMS they could fully rely on, and an operations platform that reduced friction and manual work.

That is where Lodgify + TIDY became the perfect match.

Why Loutan Rentals Chose Lodgify

Lodgify is the backbone of their booking and guest-facing operation, and it fits exactly what a growing rental brand needs.

• ✓ Centralized reservations
  All bookings—direct, Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com—sync into one clean, organized system. No scattered information. No overbookings. No guessing.
• ✓ A direct-booking website that actually converts
  Loutan Rentals serves many returning guests and families planning ahead. A strong website and smooth booking flow allow them to increase direct reservations and build long-term guest relationships.
• ✓ Unified calendars and real-time availability
  Everything is in one place, making rate management, availability control, and planning significantly easier.
• ✓ Streamlined communication and payments
  Messages, guest details, payments, reporting—Lodgify keeps everything accessible and structured.

Lodgify gives Loutan Rentals clarity, control, and confidence. It sets the stage for an orderly, scalable hospitality business.

How TIDY Transforms Their Operations

Once reservations are organized, the real pressure begins: cleanings, turnovers, maintenance tasks, last-minute changes, and ensuring every property is truly guest-ready.

This is where TIDY delivers enormous value.

• ✓ Automated turnovers based on Lodgify reservations
  TIDY provides tools that automatically trigger turnover workflows whenever Lodgify receives a booking or checkout, using all the rules and details that Loutan Rentals designed. Not "automatic tasks", but real automation—consistent, predictable, and fully configurable.
• ✓ Property-specific checklists and high-standard routines
  Each home has unique needs. With TIDY, Loutan Rentals can maintain a consistent experience across every property, every stay.
• ✓ Smart scheduling and provider coordination
  TIDY helps coordinate your cleaning teams and vendors with notifications, updates, reminders, and task details—no need for WhatsApp or manual juggling.
• ✓ Full visibility and documentation
  Photos, completion reports, issues found, and history logs build a clear operational picture. This reduces disputes, mistakes, and uncertainty.

The result is a reliable, organized operation that runs smoothly even on the busiest weeks.

Why the Lodgify + TIDY Integration Works So Well

This integration is built to make the manager's life easier, and Loutan Rentals feels the difference every day.

The systems communicate seamlessly:

1. 1. A reservation arrives in Lodgify.
2. 2. The integration passes all essential data to TIDY.
3. 3. TIDY converts that into structured operational workflows you can manage.
4. 4. The team simply oversees and approves, with no double work or manual syncing.

It's automation that reduces errors, strengthens reliability, and frees time for strategic work instead of operational firefighting.

For Loutan Rentals, This Means:

• • Fewer operational inconsistencies
• • Faster turnovers with less stress
• • Stronger guest satisfaction
• • More time spent on growth, not coordination
• • A cleaner, more predictable workflow
• • A foundation for real scaling

This is why the Lodgify + TIDY integration exists: to make managing properties easier, clearer, and more sustainable.
