Short-term and vacation rental management
What the work includes
Short-term rental managers operate Airbnb, VRBO and direct-booking properties. The work usually includes listing setup and optimization, dynamic pricing, guest screening and communication, cleaning and turnover coordination, maintenance, review management, compliance with local permits and taxes, and owner revenue reporting. Good operators run the property like a hospitality business.
How fees usually work
Short-term management fees are commonly a percentage of booking revenue, often in the 15-30% range, but the headline percentage is only part of the cost. Cleaning fees, linen costs, channel commissions, supply costs and maintenance are often separate. Ask for a sample owner statement that shows gross bookings, fees, expenses and net payout.
What to ask before hiring
Ask about average occupancy and nightly rate for comparable properties, channel mix, owner block policies, damage claims, cleaning standards, maintenance response, permitting and tax compliance, and how reviews are managed. Ask what happens during the off-season and whether there are minimum revenue guarantees or performance clauses.

Common questions about short-term and vacation rental managers
How much do short-term rental managers charge?+
Management fees are commonly a percentage of booking revenue, often 15-30%, with cleaning, linen, supplies, channel commissions and maintenance often billed separately. Ask for a sample owner statement showing gross bookings and net payout.
What does a vacation rental manager do?+
Typical work includes listing optimization, dynamic pricing, guest screening and communication, cleaning turnover, maintenance coordination, review management, permit and tax compliance, and owner reporting. Confirm which tasks are in-house and which are subcontracted.
Should I self-manage my Airbnb or hire a manager?+
Self-managing can work if you live nearby, enjoy guest communication and can handle turnovers. A manager is more useful when you live far away, own multiple units, want dynamic pricing and compliance support, or cannot cover same-day turnovers and guest issues.
