FAQ
Answers to common questions
What is vacation rental property management?
Vacation rental property management is a service that maintains and improves the vacation rental on behalf of owners. It includes the ongoing operation, marketing, maintenance, and promotion of a vacation rental, short-term rental or Airbnb property.
What services does a vacation rental managemer offer?
Most managers offer partial or complete end-to-end management of vacation rental properties. Complete management includes all aspects of home maintenance, cleaning, guest and host communications, and marketing, pricing, and promotion of your property.
In addition to these services, Summer connects owners and hosts with professional design and investing services for their vacation home.
Can they help me convert an existing home into a vacation rental?
Absolutely! Many property managers do onboard homes that were recently purchased or are being converted into vacation rentals. The best teams will provide advice, guidance, and services to help your home prepare for its short-term rental launch.
How long does the onboarding process take?
The onboarding process usually takes 2-4 weeks to be completed. This gives the manager and owner ample time to inspect the property, get it ready for guests, and get the listing live. In the event that owners need additional time to furnish or otherwise improve the property, the onboarding process can be extended.
Will I get a smart lock?
Yes, most manager provide a smart lock. This helps them operate the home and seamlessly let guests in. While there is some upfront expense associated with the lock and some additional time to set it up, there’s nothing worse than a guest not being able to access the property when they arrive.
Will they take updated photos of the property?
In most cases, your manager will hire a professional photographer to do a shoot at the home. This happens after the home is both cleaned and stages for photography. This helps the home stand out on vacation rental booking sites and results in better bookings overall. If you have really high-quality photos already, you can skip this step in the onboarding process.
How do I know my property will be safe with guests?
Professional managers put a number of security measures in place at the home to monitor noise and avoid unwanted guests in the property. Most also have built-in procedures for resolving any immediate guest issues involving parties, extra guests, and anything else in violation of the booking and local laws and requirements.
