WAITLISTFree previews · 7 new homes a week

Make your rental
the one they save.

(psst — from the photos you already have)

Guests scroll past dozens of rentals that all look alike. They save the ones they can picture themselves in. Simpler Stories turns the photos already on your listing into walkthrough films and social video that show the stay, not just the rooms.

Your photos are good.
So is everyone else’s.

Every listing looks the same.

Guests flip through dozens of rentals that are each a grid of photos. Same angles, same made beds, same “cozy.” Yours blurs into the rest.

Photos show rooms. Guests book a stay.

A bedroom count doesn’t make anyone picture their week there. If they can’t see themselves in it, they keep scrolling, or they pick on price.

3 in 100

Vrbo listings have a video.

The usual way means booking a videographer, blocking nights, staging the house and waiting on the edit. So almost nobody does it.

THE FIX

Guests don’t book bedrooms. They book the stay.

We tell the story of the stay before your guest even arrives. Your photos already hold it: the ski runs across the lake, pancakes for the whole crew, the hot tub after last chair. We turn them into a walkthrough film and posts for every feed, so guests can see themselves there.
