Cottages, lakefront homes, and vacation rentals earn most of their income in a few busy months, and every guest stay depends on a clean, ready property. We manage short-term and seasonal rentals from Portland to Waterville so you do not have to be on call all summer.
Turnovers and guest communication
Between stays the property needs to be turned over, restocked, and checked. During stays, guests need a fast answer. We handle both, so the experience stays consistent from one booking to the next.
Seasonal upkeep
A lakefront cottage has needs a year-round home does not: opening and closing for the season, winter checks, and quick response when something fails. We coordinate that work through the same local contractor relationships we use for our long-term rentals. Our seasonal maintenance checklist shows the kind of thing we watch for.
Before you list
Many Maine towns have their own registration, permit, or tax rules for short-term rentals, and they differ from town to town. Confirm what applies to your property before you list it.
Owner reporting
Income, expenses, and maintenance activity are available to owners through our tenant and owner portal. If you are also weighing a long-term lease, see our long-term rental management page.
