We found it takes about 15-30 hours/week on average to manage a successful vacation rental.
Crafting and updating listings, updating nightly rates and calendars, responding to time-sensitive guest inquiries and customer service questions, and handling maintenance and repairs are only the tip of the iceberg.
If you’re planning to regularly rent out your home, a full-service property manager can help you maximize your revenue and reduce your workload as a vacation rental owner.
Yellow Door Vacation Rentals has a complete team of in-house cleaning and maintenance professionals. We offer various customized packages to meet the needs of every owner, including full service property management so you can be as hands off as you prefer. We charge an industry-low commission rate, and we don’t charge our homeowners for annual fees for listing on sites like HomeAway and Airbnb. Additionally, we will ensure local STR regulations are followed, file the correct tax paperwork, and utilize local market data and strategic pricing tools to ensure your rental is priced competitively.
Hiring a co-host is an excellent option for vacation rental owners who prefer to be a little more involved, but still need the assistance of someone familiar with the industry.

Client communication
Listing management
