Host together
They can message your guests, work with your calendar and pricing, and handle bookings. Editing your listing and photos stays off unless you switch it on, and you can remove them at any time from the listing's Owner Details page.

Houfy doesn't charge for co-host invites. You agree the pay between you, and any fee is handled directly between host and co-host: Houfy doesn't process co-host payments today.
Questions
What is a Houfy co-host?
A co-host is another Houfy member who helps you manage your vacation rental — anything from guest messaging to full-service operations — while you stay the listing owner.
When does a co-host actually get access to my listing?
When they accept, not when you send. Until then the invite is just a pending row, and it expires after 7 days if they do nothing. You can cancel it before they accept, and remove their access afterwards, from the listing's Owner Details page.
How is this different from adding a co-host by email?
Find a Co-host lets you browse co-hosts who have made themselves available, then invite them without knowing their email address. The access it grants is exactly the same as an email invite — same settings, same Owner Details page to change or revoke it.
