You book time using the Primio app, powered by our smart scheduling system. It’s easy to use and equitable for owners, based on the number of shares you own. The system supports two types of stays: general and short-notice. General stays are scheduled 31 days to 24 months in advance, and each owner has access to a general stay that falls on a special date (e.g. holidays and popular local events). Short-notice stays are booked 2 to 30 days in advance of arrival. See additional scheduling FAQs for more details.
