Vacation rental management company

A vacation rental management company is an organization that runs its own vacation rentals (apartments, villas, or other alternative accommodation types) and/or manages properties on the homeowner’s behalf providing such services as

• promoting the property, 
• distributing the property across multiple channels and managing reservations,
• guest check-in and checkout,
• property cleaning and maintenance,
• communication with guests,
• issue resolution,
• revenue management, and others.  

While such companies charge a commission for their services, they often help increase revenue due to a number of factors:

• advanced technology use,
• deeper marketing expertise,
• connection to multiple distribution channels,
• better customer service, 
• established network of local cleaning and maintenance staff, and so on.

Some of the biggest global vacation rental management companies are Awaze, Interhome, Vacasa, Sykes Holiday Cottages, and Evolve.
