Stage 1 · Preparation
What the property needs before guests.
Four services for owners of short-term and vacation rentals, agreed in writing before listing.
A flat nightly rate leaves money on the table in season and sits empty out of it. We set rates against what is actually happening locally — events, school holidays, the weather — and review them rather than setting them once and forgetting.
What the property needs before guests.
Honest, and well lit.
Across the platforms worth being on.
Reviewed regularly, not set once.
Answered fast, which is most of it.
Instructions that need no phone call.
Problems handled, not passed on.
Asked for, and responded to.
Response speed decides both bookings and reviews. Enquiries get answered quickly, arrival instructions are clear enough that nobody calls about them, and when something breaks during a stay it gets dealt with rather than deferred to the owner.
Cleanliness is what guests write about, in both directions. Every turnover includes an inspection, so damage is found before the next guest arrives rather than blamed on them, and small repairs get done while they are still small.
Cleaned, linen changed, restocked.
Damage found before the next arrival.
Small things fixed quickly.
Owner told what happened and why.
Zoning, association rules, minimum stays.
Applied for or renewed as required.
Tourist development and sales tax filed.
Kept and available to the owner.
Short-term rentals carry a state vacation rental licence, county tourist development tax, state sales tax, and local rules that sometimes set minimum stays or ban the use entirely. We check all of it before listing and keep the filings on schedule afterwards.
A free review, starting with whether it is permitted there at all.
