Overview

AZ Getaway Rentals, operating under the brand Day In Night, is a professionally managed short-term rental company formed out of a passion for travel and new experiences. Based in Arizona, the company manages a portfolio of 63 active listings across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, and Gilbert, with additional properties in Mexico.

Day In Night was built with a simple mission: to reduce friction for both guests and property owners. By serving as a trusted liaison between investors and travelers, the company emphasizes professionalism, operational consistency, and complete guest satisfaction—whether for vacations, staycations, or extended stays.

To further diversify demand and improve booking reliability beyond leisure-driven OTAs, AZ Vacation Rentals partnered with Livily to access managed corporate travel demand while preserving full control over pricing, operations, and guest experience.

During the reporting period, the portfolio generated $57.6K in total booking value across 58 completed bookings, with an average booking value of $993.26, highlighting Livily’s ability to drive higher-value, enterprise-grade reservations across both metro and destination markets.

 

The Challenge

Despite operating a well-run, multi-market portfolio, Day In Night faced challenges common to professionally managed short-term rental operators:

• Demand heavily skewed toward weekends and leisure travel
• Limited exposure to managed corporate travelers booking through formal travel programs
• Booking friction caused by inquiry-based workflows and delayed confirmations
• The need to maintain premium guest experiences while improving booking consistency

Competing with hotels for business and extended-stay travelers required access to a distribution channel built around corporate travel expectations.

The Livily Solution

AZ Vacation Rentals connected its 63 listings to Livily, unlocking access to corporate travel demand distributed through Travel Management Systems (TMS) and Travel Management Companies (TMCs)—channels traditionally dominated by hotel inventory.

Livily functioned as a corporate distribution layer rather than a traditional leisure OTA. Inventory, availability, and pricing synced automatically, enabling Day In Night’s properties to be booked by business travelers, project-based workers, and extended-stay guests operating within managed corporate travel programs—without changes to internal workflows.

 

Key Drivers of Success

Enterprise-Grade Demand in Metro & Cross-Border Markets

Day In Night’s portfolio spans dense metro areas like Phoenix and Scottsdale as well as cross-border destinations in Mexico. Livily enabled these listings to be surfaced to corporate travelers booking through TMS and TMC channels—travelers whose needs extend beyond central business districts and into satellite and destination markets.

This expanded the addressable demand for each property, allowing Day In Night to capture bookings tied to project work, regional travel, and extended assignments that would otherwise default to hotels.

Higher-Value, Longer-Stay Booking Profiles

Livily consistently delivered bookings with higher total value than typical leisure stays. Business travelers booking through managed travel programs favored multi-night stays and well-equipped accommodations, resulting in an average booking value of nearly $1,000.

For Day In Night, this improved revenue efficiency per reservation while reducing turnover-related costs such as frequent cleaning and operational resets.

Operational Simplicity at Scale

Managing 63 listings across multiple markets requires systems that scale cleanly. Livily integrated directly into Day In Night’s existing property management workflows, enabling corporate bookings to flow in automatically with accurate pricing and availability.

There was no need for manual confirmations, separate calendars, or additional staffing—allowing the team to increase booking volume without increasing operational complexity.

Booking Confidence Through Corporate-Friendly Policies

Livily aligned Day In Night’s listings with the booking policies expected in corporate travel environments, including clearer terms and flexible cancellation structures. This reduced hesitation at checkout for business travelers and travel managers alike.

The result was higher booking confidence, earlier commitments, and improved conversion rates—without introducing meaningful cancellation risk for the operator.

 

Conclusion

By partnering with Livily, AZ Getaway Rentals (DBA Day In Night) successfully expanded into corporate travel distribution while staying true to its mission of reducing stress for both guests and property owners.

The partnership delivered higher-value bookings, improved booking consistency, and access to enterprise-grade demand across Arizona metro markets and destination properties. This case study demonstrates Livily’s ability to support professionally managed operators across diverse geographies—unlocking corporate travel demand traditionally reserved for hotels without adding operational complexity.
