Houston STR Management
Roost manages your Houston short-term rental across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and more. One flat 18% fee. Full-service management. No contracts.
What We Do
Short-term rental management in Houston isn't just about getting bookings — it's about managing an entire operation across multiple platforms, coordinating turnovers between guests, maintaining your property's condition, and keeping up with Houston's ever-changing demand patterns.
Roost is a Houston-based short-term rental management company that handles the full operation for you. We list your property on Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, manage every guest interaction around the clock, coordinate cleaning and maintenance, and optimize your pricing daily to match market demand. You keep the income. We do the work.
Our fee is a flat 18% of gross rental revenue. No setup fees. No contracts. No surprise charges for things that should already be included.

One management team. One dashboard. One flat fee across all platforms.
Everything Included
From listing creation to monthly payouts, Roost handles every detail of operating your Houston short-term rental.
We create and maintain your listing across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other major short-term rental platforms. Each listing is optimized for the platform it lives on — not just copied and pasted.
Every guest inquiry, check-in question, and mid-stay message is handled by our team around the clock. Consistent, professional responses keep guests happy and reviews strong across every platform.
Your nightly rate adjusts daily based on Houston's event calendar, competitor pricing, seasonal demand, and booking pace. We manage pricing across all platforms so you always stay competitive.
One calendar, synced across all booking platforms. We prevent double bookings, manage availability windows, and block dates for owner stays — so your calendar always reflects reality.
Professional cleaning between every guest stay, with supply restocking and a property inspection before each check-in. We coordinate turnovers across your entire booking schedule.
Short-term rental regulations in Houston change. We stay current with city permit requirements, platform policy updates, and HOA rules so your property stays compliant and active.
We request, monitor, and respond to guest reviews across every platform. Strong reviews drive occupancy — we work to earn them on every booking.
Track bookings, revenue, and occupancy across all platforms from a single owner portal. Payouts arrive on the 15th of each month with a full breakdown of earnings and fees.
Simple Process
From first conversation to live multi-platform listing in two weeks.
We evaluate your property's STR potential across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com separately — not as a single channel. You get a realistic projection that reflects what each platform's guest audience actually books in your Houston neighborhood.
We build separate, optimized listings for each booking platform — each one tuned for that platform's algorithm and guest type, not copy-pasted from one source. Photography, copy, and pricing are configured per channel. Everything live within 14 days.
One team handles your full STR operation — guest communications on all platforms, a single synced calendar, daily pricing updates, and every turnover coordinated. Your payout arrives on the 15th of each month with a full breakdown.
Houston-Based
Houston's short-term rental market has distinct seasonal rhythms, event-driven demand spikes, and neighborhood-specific guest profiles. The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, the Texas Medical Center, and the major convention schedule all create predictable booking patterns — if you know to look for them.
Roost is a Houston STR management company. We live and operate here, which means our pricing strategy, listing copy, and guest experience are built for this specific market — not templated from a national playbook.

Roost distributes your property across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. We manage listing creation, optimization, and ongoing updates across every platform — so you get maximum visibility without managing multiple accounts yourself.
Roost charges a flat 18% management fee on gross rental revenue with no setup fees and no long-term contracts. The fee is all-in — no separate charges for cleaning coordination, listing management, or maintenance.
Multi-platform distribution significantly increases your booking opportunities and reduces reliance on any single platform. VRBO tends to attract longer-stay guests and families, while Airbnb reaches a broader range of traveler types. We manage the platform mix to keep your calendar full.
Yes. We stay current with local permit requirements and platform policies. We flag any compliance changes that affect your property and help you navigate the requirements. That said, the legal obligation for any required permits remains with the property owner.
We adjust pricing strategy and minimum-stay settings to maximize occupancy during slower periods. Our dynamic pricing model accounts for Houston seasonality, weekday vs. weekend demand, and competing inventory so your rates remain competitive year-round.
Yes. If your property is already listed, we transition management smoothly — optimizing your existing listing, taking over guest communication, and adding distribution to other platforms. There is no need to start from scratch.
