The Fully Booked Host podcast is for short‑term and vacation rental owners who are tired of feeling like everyone else has it figured out while you’re just trying to keep your head above water. I’m Christine, a property management and systems expert who’s managed large portfolios across three continents and welcomed thousands of guests. I live in Property management tools, logistics, and operations—and I love turning chaos into clarity. I’m Sarah, a host who fell in love with hospitality in 2013 in a small condo in Point Loma, San Diego. I’ve greeted guests at the door, done late‑night turnovers, co‑hosted for others, and rebuilt my short term rental life while juggling work, family, and everything in between. This show is your ally in an often isolating business, a safe, relatable space where you can learn, vent, ask for help, and stop feeling like you have to do this alone.

    Smarter systems and honest answers for short-term rental hosts. No gatekeeping.

    Two hosts. One community. A shared mission to help hosts thrive with better systems. It started with an honest question in a Facebook group: "How do I know if I'm ready for a property management system?" Sarah asked it. Christine answered — "let's hop on a quick call." That call turned into a friendship, a partnership, and this podcast. The Fully Booked Host is where short-term rental hosts get the answers nobody hands out for free. Christine brings the systems brain — workflows, owner statement formulas, setup support, and the tech stack that actually scales. Sarah brings the rising-host reality check — what it's really like to run units while you're still figuring it out. Together they cover the stuff that decides whether hosting stays a side hustle or becomes a business. We host across borders — the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Bali — so we talk openly about what changes country to country: regulations, platforms, payouts, guest expectations, and the tools that work in one market and fall apart in another. Every week: property management systems and when you actually need one, channel management across Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, pricing and occupancy, guest communication that doesn't eat your evenings, owner relationships and reporting, cleaning and turnover ops, direct bookings, and scaling from one unit to a portfolio. Whether you're about to list your first place, running a handful of doors, co-hosting for owners, or operating a boutique property — you're in the right room. No gatekeeping. Just the systems, the numbers, and the honest conversation. New episodes weekly. Follow the show so you don't miss one.

    Building the Village: Why We Started This Show

    Welcome to 'The Fully Booked Host' You're probably not here for vague inspiration. You're here because you want your business to be more efficient, more profitable, and less draining. And because you don't want to do it all alone — you want a village around you for the days when you feel overwhelmed. That's the show. Christine Brandle and Sarah Churchill are two working hosts — one in Vernon, BC, one in San Diego — with a combined [NUMBER] years of running properties, fixing what breaks, and figuring out the hard way what nobody tells you when you start. Our promise is simple: • We're not going to gatekeep information. • We'll share the tools, the systems, and the strategies we use. • We'll break things down so you can implement real changes quickly — saving time, money, and a lot of frustration. • We'll build a real community of hosts who support each other, share resources, and step in when you need it the most. No theory. No withholding the good stuff for a paid course. Just two hosts telling you what works, what doesn't, and what we'd do differently. Follow the show now so the first one lands the moment it drops. thefullybookedhost.com
