THE PROBLEM

Managing a shared vacation home shouldn't be a second job.

Still coordinating everything through WhatsApp, shared calendars, and a drive full of chaotic Excel spreadsheets...? Still stuck with double bookings, expense tracking headaches, and piles of printouts with outdated info? And are you always the one getting the call about the Wi-Fi password?

  • Groupchat or WhatsApp chaos?

    Important messages buried between vacation photos and long discussions. You won't find the cleaning company's phone number or the name of that restaurant someone recommended anymore!

  • Outdated printouts

    The binder on the kitchen counter has last year's cleaner, the wrong Wi-Fi password, and a phone number that's been disconnected since 2019.

  • Complex and double bookings

    Three family members blocking off the same week in the shared calendar, all convinced their booking is final. So who was first, and who gets to decide?

  • Spreadsheets edited by 20 people

    Twelve tabs, four formulas that never worked, and column F still says 'delete me'. Half the family is using their own version anyway.

  • The calendar nobody trusts

    One shared calendar, three time zones, seventeen edits nobody notices. You double-check with a group chat before booking anything. Oh, is this a confirmed booking or just a request?

  • Expenses through text messages

    Who paid for the firewood? Did I already reimburse that new pizza cutter? Oh, and where's that photo of the receipt for the lounge chairs?

  • Arrival day mess and departure drama

    The last family forgot to read the meters. Yuck, the trash wasn't taken out! And I forgot to plug the fridge back in!

  • Getting the same questions repeatedly

    What's the Wi-Fi password? How does the boiler work? Where's the parking permit? It's all in one person's head, and they're getting bombarded with questions.

THE SOLUTION

Everything you need for a shared vacation home.

Ripazo is a private, invite-only dashboard for families and friends who co-own a vacation home — one shared space for the booking calendar, arrival and departure checklists, expense tracking, photo albums, and house information.

You get a private webpage that only you and the people you invite can access. On this page you'll find everything you need to replace your current disorganized approach to managing your property.

WHO IT'S FOR

For anyone who already shares a vacation home.

Ripazo is for people who already share a vacation home and know how tricky it can be to keep everything organized. Private, invite-only, and fully tailored to your situation.

  • CO-OWNERS

    The vacation home we bought together 10 years ago.

    Cousins, siblings, or parents and kids sharing a place bought jointly. Ripazo keeps your bookings fair, your expenses transparent, and your photos in one place where everyone can find them.

  • HEIRS

    Mom and Dad's vacation home, now ours to keep.

    You inherited the vacation home, and with it the group chat, the half-finished spreadsheet, and a very uneven idea of who last paid for firewood. Ripazo gives the next generation a clean slate without losing the history.

  • FRIENDS

    Six of us, one cabin, zero drama.

    Bought together with friends. Ripazo replaces the 'who's there next?' thread with a calendar, and keeps costs and maintenance visible to everyone.

Frequently Asked QuestionsGet in touch

What is Ripazo?

Ripazo is a private, invite-only dashboard for families and friends who co-own a vacation home. One shared page holds the booking calendar, arrival and departure checklists, expense tracking, photo albums, and house information, everything a WhatsApp group or spreadsheet can't keep in one place. Pick a theme, invite your co-owners, done.

Who is Ripazo for?

For anyone who already shares a vacation home: co-owners who bought one together, heirs who inherited one from their parents, or groups of friends with a cabin. Not for professional hosts, hotels, or people running an Airbnb business. Ripazo is strictly for private use, between people who already know and trust each other.

Do all family members pay, or just one person?Owner

Only the person who set up the property (the owner) pays. Every invited co-owner, family member, friend, and cleaner uses Ripazo for free, forever. There is no per-seat pricing. Bring everyone, the $59 or $139 is for the property itself, not the people using it.

Is our data private? Who owns the content?

You remain the owner of all your data at all times. Ripazo runs on EU servers, is GDPR-compliant, and we never sell or share family data. We don't train AI models on your content. Your house page is private by design: not listed anywhere, not indexed, not discoverable.

Why pay for Ripazo when we already use WhatsApp?Owner

WhatsApp is great for chat, awful for coordination. Bookings scroll away, expenses get forgotten, photos disappear, the Wi-Fi password is in an old message from last summer. Ripazo keeps the structured stuff together (for example: calendar, expenses, house info, albums) and leaves WhatsApp to do what it's actually good at. Most families keep both. That's the point.

Can I cancel anytime?Owner

Yes. One click from Settings → Billing. Cancellation works any time, but your subscription keeps running until the end of your paid period (usually a year), and after that all access to your house stops. Everything keeps working normally until that date. No termination fees, no retention calls, no 'are you sure' mazes.

What happens to our data if we cancel or leave?

You remain the owner of all your data. After cancellation, the page stays active until the end of the paid period so members can still view and use everything. After that, the page is archived. If you come back within a reasonable window, we can reactivate it and you pick up where you left off.
