Our short-stay management fees are transparent and agreed in advance, usually as a percentage of the booking revenue and/or a fixed setup fee for listing creation, photography and onboarding. Get in touch with details of your property and we'll provide a tailored quote.
Do your short-stay properties have parking, and do you allow pets?
Parking and pet policies vary by property. Some short-stay homes have on-street or off-street parking, while others rely on nearby public car parks. A small number of properties may accept pets by prior agreement. We'll confirm parking and pet rules for any property before you book.
