About this project

Garcia Rentals manages vacation rental properties in Yelapa, Jalisco, on Mexico's Pacific coast. We built them a complete, custom property management platform: a trilingual public website in English, Spanish, and French where guests browse properties and request reservations, backed by a full administrative back office that runs the business day to day.

Each property is synced to its own Google Calendar through the Calendar API, so reservations flow straight into the team's calendars and a conflict detection system guards against double bookings. The platform also includes a built-in email client with reusable message templates, so staff can correspond with guests without leaving the admin, along with reservation, payment, and customer management.

It is built on Symfony 8 and PHP 8.4 with Doctrine, Twig, and a Tailwind CSS front end, a modern, fast, and secure foundation with no WordPress or other CMS involved.
