What Our Homeowners Have To Say.

Directly from a White Glove homeowner client of ours:

” Lifty Life Vacation Rentals has been managing my property since the summer of 2022. This company has been professional and amazing to work with since the very beginning. Any apprehension my husband and I felt about renting our home out quickly dissipated. They manage the business with confidence and ease and deal with issues as they arise with speed and positivity. We had always been hesitant because of different horror stories with short term rentals and now we don’t give it a second thought. We would recommend Lifty Life Vacation Rentals to anyone who is considering renting their home above anyone else. “
