Welcome Kit Pro turns your rental's address into a polished, guest-ready welcome book in about a minute. Enter your property address and choose a theme. Welcome Kit Pro finds your neighborhood for you — nearby restaurants, things to do, and everyday essentials, with ratings — while you fill in the things only you know: check-in steps, WiFi, house rules, and parking. About a minute later you have a complete welcome kit for your guests: • A print-ready PDF welcome book to leave in the home • A live mobile guidebook your guests open on their phone • A QR code that links straight to the guidebook Built for Airbnb, Vrbo, and short-term rental hosts who want to look professional, cut down on "how do I…" messages, and give every guest a five-star arrival. WHAT YOU GET • Address-to-book in minutes — no design skills needed • Four designer themes: Modern Minimal, Coastal, Cabin, and Classic B&W • A local guide built from your address — restaurants, things to do, and essentials nearby, with ratings and walking distances, so you never type a list of recommendations • Print PDF + digital guidebook + QR code for every property • Add your own photos to the cover and a "Your Home" page • Manage up to 25 properties in one place — one subscription covers them all, with no per-listing charge • Subscribers can edit any book anytime: change the door code between guests, update the WiFi, swap a photo, rename or drop a suggested spot — it republishes instantly and the QR code you already printed keeps working • Secure sign-in; delete your account and data whenever you want WHY HOSTS LOVE IT Guests get everything they need the moment they arrive — check-in instructions, WiFi, house rules, and the neighborhood's best spots — without texting you. You get fewer questions, better reviews, and a welcome book that looks like you hired a designer. SIMPLE PRICING Your first welcome book is free — keep the print PDF and neighborhood graphic, with a 14-day live preview of the guest guidebook. A subscription keeps every guidebook and QR code online, includes up to 50 new welcome books a month and unlimited editing: $9.99/month or $79.99/year (four months free), and one plan covers up to 25 properties on your account — on iPhone and on the web.
