Holiday rentals such as cottages, apartments, cabins, and vacation homes can be managed easily in Oskar using **resources** and nightly-based **services**.

***

## Recommended Setup

### 1. Add your properties as Resources

Go to **Left Menu → MANAGE → Resources** and create one resource per rental unit:

* “Beach Cottage”
* “Mountain Cabin”
* “City Apartment – 3rd Floor”

For identical units (e.g., 5 identical apartments), you can optionally use **sub-resources / tracked units**.

Add:

* Photos
* Descriptions
* Capacity (optional)
* Availability & cleaning buffers under **Schedule & Availability**

***

### 2. Create your Nightly Stay service

Open **Left Menu → MANAGE → Services** and create a service such as:

* “Overnight Stay”
* “Weekend Getaway”
* “Weekly Stay”

In **Service → Booking Duration**, set:

* **Duration Type: Nights**
* Choose the minimum/maximum number of nights (if applicable)

Link the service to your property resources to ensure availability syncs correctly.

***

### 3. Add your property’s location

If you have multiple sites (e.g., different cities), assign each property to a location under:

**Organization Menu (top left) → Settings → Locations**

This ensures the booking page displays the right address and helps with filtering.

***

### 4. Share your booking page

Your booking page is ready once resources and services are live.

Share it using:

* The blue **Link** icon (top right of the dashboard)
* A QR code
* An embed snippet on your website (via **Booking Page Setup**)

Make a test booking to ensure everything feels right.
