With Better Vacations your property makes more money, stays in pristine condition, and your only job is reading the monthly statement. 

Do these issues sound familiar?

  • Unreliable cleaning crews

  • Being constantly “on” for customer service

  • Maintenance on “mountain time”

  • Struggling with hot tubs

  • Staff who do just “good enough”

  • Low nightly prices or not pricing for seasonality

  • Listing not showing up on first page

  • Unoptimized listings

  • Property not paying for itself

  • Property Management eating all the revenue

  • Lengthy contracts

If keeping up with your property has been a struggle, you’re not alone. In fact, Better Vacation Rentals was founded after we realized there was a huge gap of service in the local market.

We do things differently.

About Better Vacation Rentals & Our Autopilot Program

We believe your STR should be an investment, not a second job. When you enroll your property in the Better Vacations Autopilot Program, you completely eliminate midnight lockout calls, handyman scheduling, and guest messaging. You simply collect your revenue, while we handle absolutely everything else.

 

To prove it, we are backing our management with the most aggressive, owner-friendly guarantees and programs in the industry: 

Phase 1: Unmatched Financial Security (Zero Risk to You) 

We don't just promise better returns; we guarantee them, and we take on the risk so you don't have to. 
The 60-Day Partnership Preview: Try us completely risk-free. We waive our management fee entirely for the first two months, allowing you to see our systems in action before committing a dime. During this 60-day window, you have the flexibility to cancel at any time, completely penalty-free, ensuring you are never locked into a commitment that isn't a perfect fit. 
The 120% Revenue Guarantee: We optimize your calendar and pricing to outperform your local market by at least 20% within the first 12 months (subject to recommended property updates), or your next 3 months of management are free. 

Phase 2: Ironclad Asset Protection 

Most companies view your property's maintenance as a profit center. We view it as an asset that needs protecting. 
The Owner's Advocate Repair Plan: We never upcharge for maintenance. You pay the exact, actual cost for all repairs.
The Platinum QA Protocol: Our local on-the-ground experts conduct monthly Quality Assurance inspections to ensure your property constantly meets our meticulous standards—not just on day one, but on day one thousand. 
The Peace-Of-Mind Damage Shield: Breathe easy knowing every booking includes a Waivo insurance policy, paid for by the guest, covering all accidental property damage up to $3,000.

Phase 3: Elite Guest Experiences (That Drive Premium Rates) 

We don't just list your property; we elevate it to attract higher-paying guests and exclusive events. 
The Better Vacations Signature Collection: Your property gains access to our network of premium, complimentary concierge services. We coordinate private chefs, in-house massages, custom pre-arrival decorating, and discounted local tickets to guarantee unforgettable stays.
The Micro-Wedding & Events Engine: If your property can accommodate it, we partner with premier local event planners to market your home for high-ticket small weddings and private events, unlocking a massive, untapped revenue stream. 
● The Better Vacations Revenue Desk: Your vacation rental is a high-value asset, and we treat it like one. Behind the scenes of our management is the Better Vacations Revenue Desk—a dedicated strategy team focused entirely on maximizing your net operating income. We utilize enterprise-level pricing software to make micro-adjustments to your rates 365 days a year, capitalizing on market shifts before your competitors even notice them. By combining algorithmic precision with our deep, localized market knowledge, we ensure your property dominates search rankings and consistently yields the highest possible return. 
● The Better Vacations Studio Package ($3000 Value): The single biggest factor in your property’s ranking and revenue is the quality of your photos—but truly high-end, algorithm-breaking photography is expensive. We view our relationship as a true partnership, which is why we are willing to put our own capital on the line. If you agree to implement our targeted staging and upgrade recommendations to get your property picture-perfect, Better Vacations will completely cover the cost of a $3,000 premium photography and media shoot. You prep the canvas; we pay for the masterpiece.
● The Autopilot Tech Upgrade($1000 Value): True passive income requires the right technology. To ensure your property is completely secure and guests experience a frictionless, 5-star check-in, your home needs commercial-grade smart access. When you join our management program, we don't want you nickel-and-dimed with setup fees. We will purchase and provide an electronic smart door lock and a Ring security camera for your property, completely on the house. You get 24/7 security and peace of mind; your guests get seamless, keyless entry.

Phase 4: The Easy Button 

You are just a few minutes away from true passive income. 
The 30-Minute Seamless Switch: Think switching management companies is a headache? We’ve engineered it down to a 30-minute onboarding process with your local manager. We will even review your old contract for free and guide you on exactly how to exit problem-free while honoring all existing reservations. 

With an offer this good, there's nothing to lose.
