The Story Behind Our Brand

Livily was born out of real experience — not theory.

Before building Livily, our team spent over a decade as property managers, overseeing hundreds of short-term rentals across multiple markets. We experienced every side of the industry — from onboarding owners and managing guests to integrating booking systems, cleaning schedules, and payments.

During those years, one truth became impossible to ignore: while vacation rentals were exploding in popularity, the corporate travel industry — a $1.4 trillion market — was still dominated by hotels.

We constantly received requests from business travelers, relocation clients, and companies who wanted more space, privacy, and flexibility than a hotel could offer — yet there was no way to book verified vacation rentals through corporate travel systems.

That gap is what inspired Livily.

We set out to connect professionally managed vacation rentals directly into the global corporate travel ecosystem, integrating with major Travel Management Systems (TMS) like Amex GBT, CWT, Egencia, Serko, and Sabre.

Our goal was simple: To give property managers access to an entirely new demand channel, and to give corporate travelers better, more comfortable options for work and extended stays.

Today, Livily is more than a marketplace — it's the evolution of everything we learned managing properties firsthand. We've taken the challenges we faced as operators and turned them into technology that simplifies, automates, and scales hospitality for the next generation of business travel.

Livily was created by property managers who knew there had to be a better way. We turned years of hands-on experience into a platform that's redefining how the world books corporate travel — Business Class Vacation Rentals, where business feels like home.

What Makes Us Different?

Livily isn't competing with Airbnb — we're building what comes next.

01

We're the First to Bridge Two Industries

Corporate travel has always been dominated by hotels. Vacation rentals have never been accessible to enterprise booking platforms. Livily is the first marketplace to merge these two worlds — integrating directly with Amex GBT, CWT, Egencia, Serko, and Sabre — so companies can now book verified vacation rentals inside the same systems they use for flights and hotels.

02

Technology Built for Enterprise

Livily's platform isn't just another booking site. It's a B2B distribution engine that connects property-management systems (Guesty, Rentals United, Streamline) with corporate travel networks. Our tech includes AI-driven property vetting for compliance and safety, Livily Pay — a fintech layer handling virtual cards, split payments, and automated invoicing — and real-time pricing, inventory, and reporting across PMS, OTA, and TMS channels.

03

A Better Experience for Business Travelers

Business travelers get spacious, professionally managed homes — from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom executive houses — all meeting duty-of-care, tax, and security standards. They enjoy the comfort of home with the compliance of a hotel, often at lower nightly rates.

04

A New Revenue Channel for Property Managers

Livily gives property managers instant access to corporate demand that was never available through Airbnb or VRBO — with longer stays, lower churn, and higher-quality guests. We handle distribution, billing, and compliance so managers can focus on operations while earning consistent income.

05

Category Leadership

We're not another OTA — we're building the infrastructure that connects two massive global markets: the $100 billion vacation-rental industry and the $1.4 trillion corporate-travel economy. This first-mover advantage gives Livily a technological moat and a long-term position to become the standard distribution layer for enterprise short-term rentals worldwide.
