OUR STYLE OF VACATION RENTAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Is it possible to own a profitable, hassle-free vacation rental?
With us as your Certified Property Manager, it IS!
At WC Lodging we strive to allow home owners to share the pride and uniqueness of each home with travelers from the Bay Area to guests from around the world. Our Vacation Rental Property Management team also believe this should be done with the best interests of owners, guests and neighbors in mind.
To do this our local hospitality and home care specialists work to drive more revenue with personalized attention to each guest and it shows with our 42% return guest rate year over year.
Other large property management companies promise care but our property management team personally inspects your property in person prior to every check in. Additionally, we personally inspect each home after every guest check out to assess any damage needing addressing. Our team of local experts rely on more than 30 years real estate experience to turn your home into a successful vacation rental and maximizing your homes earning potential.
Exceptional Local Care
Our Vacation Rental Property Management company has a solid team of Local housekeepers, maintenance techs, and dedicated representatives to keep your home in tip top condition. We treat your home as if it were our own.
Guest Relations & 24/7 Support
A member of our Vacation Rental Property Management team is available 24/7 for guest questions or concerns during their stay, as well as after stay communications to improve future guest experience and garner positive reviews on marketing sites. Our staff handles all after hour emergencies that may occur during a guest,s stay.
YOUR investment, YOUR home
You’re always in the driver’s seat when it comes to your home. WC Lodging has a fully integrated easy to use online account that owners have access to 24/7. Owners can see all reservation dates and information, as well as block any dates they would like to use or have friends or family stay at the property. Owners also have online access to all financial statements. Other property management companies require contracts so it’s difficult to cancel if they don’t fulfill their promises, our Vacation Rental Property Management team requires no length of time contracts, cancel anytime if we don’t live up to our promises.
We were named a expert in the vacation rental industry. Check out the article we were featured in: Winter Maintenance Checklist for Vacation Rentals | Redfin
