The Gap Between Bookings
Your booking platform handles guests and payments. Your cleaner handles turnovers. But who's handling what happens in between?
✅

Turnover Quality Control

After your cleaner leaves and before your next guest arrives, we walk the property: verify the clean, check for damage, confirm supplies, test Wi-Fi and smart locks, document conditions. The walkthrough that prevents three-star reviews.

🔑

Guest Issue Response

AC breaks at 10pm. Lock code doesn't work. The toilet won't stop running. You need a local number that picks up. We respond, assess, and either fix it on the spot or coordinate an emergency vendor — while you're asleep in another time zone.

🌀

Off-Season Home Watch

Your rental books May through September. October through April it sits vacant. That's six months of undetected leaks, mold, pest infiltration, and insurance non-compliance. We run full NHWA-accredited Home Watch visits during vacancy.

🔧

Maintenance Coordination

The dishwasher that's been getting guest complaints. The deck boards that are starting to splinter. The exterior that needs pressure washing before peak season. We source the vendor, get the quote, supervise the work, and verify it's done.

📋

Damage Documentation

Guest checks out. You suspect damage. We document conditions with timestamped photos before the next guest arrives — giving you the evidence you need for Airbnb resolution claims or security deposit disputes.

📦

Receiving & Restocking

Furniture delivery. Replacement linens. New TV for the living room. We receive shipments, verify condition, unbox and set up if needed. We also handle routine supply restocking between turnovers.

What We Are — and What We're Not
This distinction matters for your business, your taxes, and your insurance.

What We Do

Physical property stewardship — turnover walks, maintenance, vendor coordination, storm prep, documentation, emergency response, and off-season Home Watch. We're your local eyes, hands, and first call.

What We Don't Do

We don't manage bookings, screen guests, handle payments, set pricing, market your listing, or act as a licensed property manager. Your platform and your revenue strategy stay 100% yours.

Common Questions
Do I still need a property manager?
If you self-manage your rental through Airbnb or VRBO and handle your own bookings, you probably don't need a traditional property manager — you need a local steward. We handle the physical property; you handle the business side. If you use a property manager for bookings, we complement their work by providing the on-the-ground presence they often can't.
How does turnover support work with my cleaning crew?
Your cleaner does their job. Then we come in after and do a quality control walk — verifying the clean, checking for damage, checking technology, confirming supplies. We're the second set of eyes that catches what the cleaner missed. We work with your existing cleaning schedule, not against it.
What happens during the off-season?
When your rental isn't booked, it's a vacant property — and vacant properties need regular Watch visits for insurance compliance, early problem detection, and peace of mind. We shift from turnover mode to Home Watch mode automatically. Same property, same steward, different protocol.
Can you be my guest emergency contact?
Yes — with our Full Stewardship tier, we serve as the local emergency contact for guest issues. AC failure, lockout, plumbing emergency, noise complaint from neighbors — we respond and handle it so you don't have to manage a crisis from out of state at midnight.
Do you handle properties on multiple platforms?
Yes. We work with properties listed on Airbnb, VRBO, direct booking sites, or any combination. We don't interact with the platforms — we interact with the property. However you manage bookings is up to you.
