**The problem it solves** Vacation rental operators consistently leave unsold last-minute inventory on the table. Nights within 30 days of check-in sit empty because standard OTAs are not optimised to surface them to spontaneous, last-minute travelers. **What Whimstay does** Whimstay is a last-minute vacation rental OTA that specialises in properties available within 30 days of check-in, distributing discounted unsold nights from professional property managers to price-sensitive spontaneous travelers. **How it works** Property managers connect via direct PMS integrations, with over 20 live connections including Hostaway, Hostfully, and Streamline, or through iCal sync. Listings can also be imported directly from Airbnb in approximately 10 minutes. Whimstay is integrated with Google Vacation Rentals for organic search discovery and has distribution partnerships with Booking.com and Wyndham Destinations. The commission model charges hosts approximately 3% plus a 3% payment processing fee with no long-term contracts. Travelers book instantly within the 30-day window at discounted rates compared to standard OTA pricing. **Who it's for** Professional vacation rental management companies and independent operators across North America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe who want to monetise unsold last-minute inventory as a supplementary distribution channel.
