The Split-Vendor Problem

One outfit books it. Another fixes it. Nobody watches the place.

Most Hill Country short-term rental owners end up stitching it together: a management company that runs the calendar, a cleaner between guests, a handyman for the broken things, and a phone full of numbers when the well quits at 9pm on a Saturday. The bookings get handled. The property falls through the cracks — and a rental that is not cared for is a rental that stops earning.

HDS+ starts from the other end. It is a property-care company that also runs the rental, so the turn, the upkeep, the systems, and the repairs are handled by the same crew that fills the calendar. One place watching the whole thing, not four.

A booking dashboard tells you the house is rented. It does not tell you the house is alright.

What We Run

Care, rental, and the map — three things, one crew.

What your rental actually needs comes out of the free score. Not every place needs every line, and you are not paying for a package built for someone else's house.

01
Care
Turns between guests, upkeep, wells and systems, and the repairs a working rental needs — handled by the crew that manages the place.
02
Rental
The stay run and readied — pre-arrival checks, vendor coordination, and the property held to the standard a guest pays for.
03
The Map
A custom map of the property, drawn from real county boundaries, so the whole file reads off the actual land.
The Owner Portal

The three coupled in one live view — not three logins.

Local rivals have booking dashboards now, so the calendar itself is nothing new. What is different here is the coupling: the property care, the rental, and the custom map of the place sit together in one live owner portal that is yours alone. After each turn and each visit, what was checked, what was found, and what was handled lands there — next to the map and the stay, not in a separate app.

That is the difference between watching the bookings and knowing the state of the house. You read it from wherever you are. Enter your owner portal → once your account is set up.

A Map Of The Place Itself

Every managed rental starts with a map of its own land.

Behind the portal sits a custom map of your property, drawn from real parcel boundaries from county records and high-resolution aerial imagery — the lot, the drive, the well, the acreage in the title block. A fix gets pinned to a place on the map instead of described over the phone, and the same map is a thing you can print for the wall.

You can build the map of your own property yourself in the map studio — zoom to the land, pick the parcel, and see it finished. On a managed rental it becomes the working layout the crew reads from.

Native-Owned, Local Since 2013

The country your guests come for is the country we're from.

HDS+ is Native-owned and operated out of Johnson City, working the Hill Country since 2013 — more than a decade of the same crews on the same roads through Fredericksburg, Stonewall, Blanco, and Johnson City. We know what this land does to a rental: the hard freezes that split an un-winterized line, the flash-flood rain the region is built on, the wells and septic that come with country living, the long drives that wash. This is not a franchise running a checklist printed in another state. It is people who live here, running rentals the way people who live here would want their own place run. See how the whole thing fits together in our model.

Frequently Asked

What rental owners ask first.

Where do you manage short-term rentals?
Across the Fredericksburg and Texas Hill Country — Gillespie, Blanco, Llano, and the surrounding counties. Our base is Johnson City, so these are roads our crews already run.
How is this different from a rental dashboard?
A dashboard shows the calendar. Here the property care, the rental, and a custom map of the place sit together in one live owner portal — the state of the house, not only the bookings.
Do you handle the property itself, not just the bookings?
Yes. HDS+ is a property-care company first. Between guests the same local crew handles turns, upkeep, wells and systems, and the repairs a rental needs — and it lands in your portal.
What does it cost to start?
Start with a free property score and a custom fix list built for your place, yours to keep. There is no flat price, because there is no flat property — we build a real number from there.
