Still wondering whether short-term management is right for your property? We’re always happy to talk it through.
Ask us anythingEvery property is different, so we can't guarantee an exact income. However, we're happy to research comparable properties in your area and provide a realistic ballpark estimate of what your property could earn as a short-term rental.
Yes. For short-term accommodation, the property needs to be fully furnished and ready for guests, including furniture, kitchen essentials, and basic household items. We can provide guidance on what's required.
Absolutely. You can block out dates whenever you'd like to stay at your property—we'll simply make those dates unavailable for bookings.
Guests pay a cleaning fee as part of their booking. This fee is built into the overall booking cost and is used to cover the professional cleaning of the property between stays.
Yes. We offer both short-term Airbnb management and long-term residential property management, so we can help whichever option best suits your property.
Owners receive a monthly statement showing all income and expenses, with payments made monthly.
We advertise your property across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Vacation Rentals, and our own direct booking website. Through these platforms, your property also gains exposure across a wider network of travel websites and partner channels.
No long-term lock-in contracts. We generally ask owners to commit to an initial 12-month management period (although six months is also acceptable). After that, we simply require three months' notice if you decide to end the management agreement.
Let us take care of your home while you enjoy the rewards of ownership. We'll be in touch the same day.
Whether you're a guest planning your visit or an owner exploring management, we'd love to hear from you.
