Summer is on the horizon, and we all know what that means – more bookings. But with that comes more enquiries, more guests, and a lot more to manage for property owners and agencies. You can’t stop the summer swell, but with the right setup you can ride it out smoothly and stay in control.
Are you ready to reap the rewards Peak season has to offer? With just a few smart checks now, we can help you to avoid the wipeouts that catch others off guard.
Here’s how to get your SuperControl setup ready to handle the rush – calmly, confidently, and with less admin getting in the way.
Be everywhere that guests are looking
When your bookings start flowing in, you want your properties to be easy to find.
Relying on just one or two booking platforms can leave you hidden, or worse, overlooked.
Connecting your properties to booking channels like Airbnb and Booking.com helps you:
- Get your property seen by a wider pool of guests
- Fill last-minute gaps that would otherwise stay empty
- Avoid manual updates with automatic calendar syncing
Many summer bookings are already secured, but the search for last-minute breaks is still very much alive. If your property isn’t showing up where guests are looking, those opportunities will pass you by. Strengthening your visibility now involves plugging gaps, picking up short-notice bookings, and making the most of the busy season ahead.
Let your pricing move with the season
Summer doesn’t stay still and neither should your rates. Busy weekends, local events, and even sudden weather changes can all push demand higher or lower in a matter of days, and your prices should reflect this.
Dynamic pricing with Beyond, integrated directly into SuperControl, helps you:
- Adjust prices automatically as demand rises or dips
- Stay competitive without underselling yourself
- Make the most of every peak, without constant manual updates
You do not have to second-guess the market. You can stay flexible and confident that your property is priced to make the most of every opportunity.
Make guest payments flow smoothly
The busier you are, the more essential it is to have payments automated and under control.
Manual invoicing, clunky bank transfers and chasing balances all add unnecessary stress, taking your time and energy away from what truly matters: delivering a great guest experience.
By setting up HolidayRentPayment inside SuperControl, you make it easy for guests to:
- Book faster
- Pay securely online
- Feel reassured that their money (and booking) is safe
And for you, it means fewer admin headaches, improve your cashflow, and provides more time to spend where it really matters. The best part? It’s one of the quickest improvements you can make before the peak weeks hit.
Build a setup that stays strong when things get busy
When your bookings are quiet, it’s easy to overlook small gaps in your process – but once peak season hits, those small gaps can become very costly, very quickly.
A last-minute cancellation. Forgetting to adjust your rates. Chasing payments. These are the things that lead to stressful wipeouts when the pressures on.
A stronger setup does not just help you survive peak season. It helps you actually enjoy it.
Find your summer style
Every property owner handles busy seasons differently.
Some prefer to keep everything in tight control. Others let technology and automation do the work behind the scenes.

Set yourself up with the right tools now, and you will not just survive peak season you will stay steady, make the most of every opportunity, and maybe even enjoy the view along the way.
Paddle out prepared. Ride the wave. Enjoy the view you’ve worked so hard to reach.
