When the way people travel changed forever in 2020, we created a program to encompass what guests and owners needed to continue renting vacation properties. Stay Breeze allows you to rent with ease. With over 30 years of expert experience in the vacation rental and short term property industry, Stay Breeze is a fully remote vacation rental office providing marketing, distribution, full-service property management and more.

The answer is yes! You do not want all your bookings to come from online travel agencies (OTAs). Stay Breeze uses multiple sources of bookings to diversify travelers and lower cost of acquiring a guest. Also, as a property owner, there is much more time, knowledge and labor required to keep up and book a vacation rental property, Stay Breeze will facilitate marketing, maintenance, housekeeping, pricing and more. Mitigating risks of relying yourself to service, book and provide a safe environment for guests makes the value of a professional property manager worth the peace of mind their designation and representation assures.

Onboarding begins with your property manager reviewing your property for each component needed for rental. A detailed checklist will be completed at site visits gathering bedding configuration, amenities, specific features, unit inventory, vendors, housekeeping , rental periods, municipal / complex regulations and more. Also, onboarding will include unit performance projections and classifications. During the onboarding process property managers will work with homeowners to implement upgrades for minimum quality standards or make suggestions to maximize rental revenue. For example replacing a queen bed into a bunk room or adding a hot tub to a back deck with a view are upgrades that can pay for themselves several times over in a short period.
It can take different amounts of time depending on where in the ownership process a property is when onboarding. For units already under a rental program elsewhere or self-managing with little need for upgrades onboarding can take just a few days. For properties are newly construction, renovated or going through a property sale, onboarding can take as long as large renovation requires. However, we like to work proactively to time property onboarding to meet demand for a rental based on the closing date or project completion.
An audit of unit prior to rental with professional photography, floor plan, description and amenity listings. This will ensure your unit has every component to attract and convert bookings on each platform.
