What we do:
We create a complete marketing campaign to effectively rent your vacation home which includes: professional quality photography and video, creating and managing content on the leading vacation rentals websites, and publishing your property page to our website and social media. We respond quickly to all phone and email inquiries from prospective renters, set and negotiate rental rates, execute rental agreements, collect and pay sales and lodging taxes, schedule cleaning, process credit card payments, arrange for maintenance and repairs, and much, much, more.

In addition to standard cleaning services our crew can also provide light handyman services and re-stock consumable household items. We also have a wide network of skilled professionals to assist with plumbing, electrical, and other repair services.
Web Presence:
We list and market each one of our properties on the top internet sites for vacation rentals. In addition we create a robust property page for each property that we manage on this website which is professionally designed and engineered to be user friendly and organically generate customer leads. We have also used social media to increase the exposure of our website and generate more traffic to our rental properties. We continuously monitor our online marketing performance and make adjustments to improve our ranking on the search engines.
Taxes and Legal Matters:
We are registered with the county and the state to manage rental properties and collect and remit sales and lodging taxes required by law.
