Rental Management

We handle all aspects: reservations, rental contracts, confirmation correspondence, directions, payment methods, sales tax collection, and accounting related to your property so you don't have to!

We are a fully local team with a primary focus on customer service to both our homeowners and vacation rental guests. We intentionally keep our rental program small to focus on the quality of homes and our guest's experience. We interview our homeowners as much as they interview us. We are looking to work with owners who care about maintaining their property, are willing to provide quality amenities for guests and work in harmony with our team to provide luxury vacations.

Our first-year rental estimation is 20 weeks, with 25 - 30 weeks for future years. That is assuming we have access to rent the home during Holiday weeks and high season. Our seasons are:
Holiday Weeks: Christmas, New Years, Easter, 4th of July, Mini Lobster Season, Opening Lobster Season 1st week
High Season: February - mid April, June - mid August, Thanksgiving week
Mid Season: January, late April - May, August Slow Season: September - December

We do not limit how much an owner can personally use their property, but your use will affect your income potential.
