Features of OurSharedPlace

Smart Booking Calendar

Ditch the double-booking nightmares for good! Our intuitive, shared calendar is the #1 most-loved feature, designed for fair scheduling. Set approval rules, member quotas, and export your calendar via iCal to seamlessly sync with Airbnb, VRBO, and your personal Google or Apple Calendar. Automatic updates block dates across all platforms, ensuring everyone knows who's booked when and eliminating those awkward "I thought it was my week!" conflicts. It's the peace of mind every co-ownership group craves.

Centralized Financial Tracker

End the "who paid for what?" confusion forever. Our powerful financial hub lets you effortlessly track shared expenses, rental income, and member contributions in one clear dashboard. Get automatic settlement suggestions to minimize complicated transactions and see who owes what at a single glance. With a one-click annual reset, managing your property's finances becomes straightforward, transparent, and surprisingly simple, just like thousands of our users have discovered.

Shared Knowledge & Document Hub

Stop scrambling for the appliance manual or the landscaper's contact. This secure, centralized vault stores everything: PDF manuals, warranty info, vendor contacts, checklists, and even your favorite local restaurant tips. Create a private property blog with photos and videos for maintenance guides and family updates. It’s your home's digital brain, ensuring every owner has the essential knowledge at their fingertips for a perfect stay.

Member Communication & Task Board

Replace chaotic group chats with organized, threaded discussions. Our built-in board lets you have focused conversations about renovations, rules, or trip plans, with emoji reactions and email notifications. Pair it with the recurring To-Do List to assign and schedule maintenance tasks, so fixing the porch light or winterizing the pipes never falls through the cracks. It’s how thriving co-owner groups stay connected and on top of everything.

Use Cases of OurSharedPlace

Multi-Family Lake Cabin Coordination

Three families co-own a beloved lakeside cabin. Using OurSharedPlace, they set fair summer booking quotas in the shared calendar, preventing one family from dominating prime weeks. They store the boat mechanic's contact and dock maintenance schedule in the document hub, and use the discussion board to vote on buying a new grill. The financial tracker simplifies splitting costs for property taxes and new patio furniture, making their shared investment a source of joy, not tension.

Sibling-Owned Ski Chalet Management

Four siblings inherit a ski chalet. They use OurSharedPlace to invite all family members with appropriate guest access. The calendar syncs with their VRBO rental listings to prevent double-bookings between family trips and rental guests. They post private YouTube video tutorials on how to start the generator in the blog, and track rental income vs. shared utility bills in the finance module, ensuring everyone pays their fair share effortlessly.

Friends Group Beach House Investment

A group of friends invests in a beach rental property. OurSharedPlace becomes their professional operations center. Admins set booking approval rules, while the photo gallery showcases the home for potential guests. They centralize contracts with their property manager and cleaning service, and use the task board to schedule deep cleanings between guest turnovers. The platform provides the structure needed to maintain their friendship while running a successful rental business.

Preserving Family Legacy & Traditions

A large extended family shares a historic mountain cottage. They use OurSharedPlace to preserve its story, posting photos of past generations and documenting beloved family traditions in the property blog. They store the handwritten recipe for "Grandma's Apple Pie" in the document hub and use the calendar to coordinate the annual family reunion. It becomes a living digital scrapbook that strengthens their bond and stewards the legacy for future owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free trial available?

Absolutely! We offer a full 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get complete access to all features to set up your property, invite co-owners, and experience how OurSharedPlace simplifies coordination. It's the perfect, risk-free way to see why so many groups are making the switch.

How does the calendar sync prevent double-bookings?

OurSharedPlace generates a secure, unique iCal link for your property's master calendar. You can paste this link into Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and your personal calendar apps like Google Calendar. The platforms automatically import and sync bookings every few hours, blocking off reserved dates everywhere. This creates a single source of truth, eliminating manual entry errors and conflicts.

What if we only use the property ourselves and don't rent it out?

No problem! The calendar sync for rental platforms is a completely optional feature. Most core users are like you—co-owners who just want to coordinate stays among themselves. OurSharedPlace is perfect for that, providing a fair booking calendar, financial tracking for shared expenses, document storage, and communication tools specifically for private owner groups.

How secure is our property and family data?

Security is our top priority. Your OurSharedPlace site is private and accessible only to the members you invite. We use role-based permissions (Admin, Member, Guest) to control exactly what each person can see and do. Your data is protected with industry-standard security measures, ensuring your family's information, documents, and communications stay within your trusted circle.
