FAQs

  • What is your strategy for maximizing rental income?

    Our strategy depends on the property, location, season, regulations, owner goals, and market demand. We evaluate whether the property is best positioned for short-term rental, mid-term furnished rental, long-term lease, insurance housing, corporate housing, or a combination strategy. We then adjust pricing, listing presentation, availability, minimum stay rules, and guest targeting accordingly. The goal is to maximize income without creating unnecessary risk, excessive wear and tear, or compliance problems.

  • Do you provide income projections?

    Yes, we can provide estimated rental ranges based on available market data, comparable listings, location, condition, seasonality, and rental strategy. However, income projections are estimates only and are not guarantees. Actual performance depends on market demand, pricing, availability, property condition, competition, regulations, guest behavior, and other factors outside our control.

  • Can you help prepare my property for rental?

    Yes. We can assist with property preparation, furnishing guidance, staging recommendations, guest-ready setup, kitchen and linen inventory, smart lock setup, photography preparation, vendor coordination, and small improvements that may help the property rent more effectively. For furnished rentals, presentation matters. A property that feels clean, complete, and professionally prepared is more likely to attract stronger tenants and better bookings.

  • Can we heat up the pool/Spa?

    Please note that there are additional costs associated with heating the spa and pool. Heating the spa is available for $100 every 4 hours, allowing you to enjoy a warm and relaxing experience throughout your stay. If you wish to heat the pool, the cost is $150 for every 2 hours, providing you with the perfect opportunity to take a refreshing dip at your convenience. These amenities can enhance your relaxation and enjoyment during your visit, so be sure to consider them when planning your activities! If you wish to heat the pool or spa, please notify us at least 5 hours in advance. Requests made after 8 PM cannot guarantee an immediate response. Kindly ensure that the use of the pool and spa occurs during regular hours and not during quiet hours. We will charge $1,500 upfront before beginning to heat the pool. This fee covers up to 10 hours of heating. If heating the pool takes longer than 10 hours, an additional charge will apply. If it takes less than 10 hours, we will refund you the difference.

  • Can I move in before insurance approval is finalized?

    Move-in before final approval is not guaranteed. In most cases, the reservation must be approved, the agreement must be signed, and required payments must be received before move-in. If the insurance company or temporary housing agency has not approved payment yet, the guest or responsible party may need to pay upfront and seek reimbursement directly from their insurance provider.

  • Can we check in early or check out late?

    We understand that travel plans can differ, and some guests may require early check-in or late check-out. We strive to accommodate these requests on a case-by-case basis, subject to availability and prior arrangements. To determine if we can fulfill your request, please reach out to us at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled date. If approved, a fee of $50 will be charged for each additional hour requested. Please note that our ability to accommodate these requests depends on the cleaning team’s schedule and the check-in/check-out times of other guests. All requests will need to be confirmed by the host, and we will respond promptly after assessing the situation.
