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. “

How It Works

Our full service and white glove vacation rental management service offers everything a homeowner needs to ensure their property is taken care of.

  • With your input our team will come up with a brand concept for your property.
  • This will help make your listing stand out from the competitors.
  • Guests become fimilar with the brand and become repeat guests.

  • We work with a handful of extremely talented photographers that help us ensure the brand and listing is accurately portrayed.

  • Your listing will have some destination / lifestyle shots included in the listing as we want to inspire guests on what their experience could look like.

  • Our team will write creative copy that clearly states the main reasons someone should book your property.
  • The copy incorporates a lot of key phrases and statements to assist in ranking optimization as well as conversion.

  • Being listed on multiple Online Travel Agencies (OTA’s) is critical to running a successful vacation rental.
  • We list you on Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, Booking.com, Google Travel, and Lifty Life.

24/7 Guest Service.

Caring for guests is a 24/7 job. Lifty Life takes on the responsibility of fielding inquires, screening guests, and booking reservations. We manage check-in and checkout, respond to guest needs, and resolve issues when and if they arise (we implement preventive measures to reduce these issues).

  • We help answer any initial questions prospective guests might have about the space.
  • We respond in a timely fashion and encourage them to book if we believe our space is well-suited for them.

  • We assist guests with any questions or concerns regarding the initial check-in experience.

  • We aim to proactively resolve issues before they happen, but from time to time we need to step in and resolve any issues that might have risen during their stay.
  • We answer those 3:00 am phone calls from guests so you don’t have to.

  • We always ask our guests for their feedback so we can resolve any issues before they become public.
  • Our guests often have great ideas on ways to improve the property so we can constantly better the guest experience.
  • We respond to all reviews, the great ones and even the occassional bad ones.
  • We encourage our guests to rebook in the future and thank them for staying with us.

  • Each and every month you will receive a monthly payout.
