Managing a vacation rental can be overwhelming. Cohosting offers a middle ground between full self-management and traditional property management.

What Is Cohosting?

Cohosting is a collaborative property management model where owners retain control while professionals handle day-to-day operations, marketing, and guest communications.

Key Benefits

Time Freedom: Eliminate 24/7 availability requirements. Cohosts handle late-night emergencies and guest questions.
Professional Expertise: Benefit from industry knowledge in pricing, marketing, and guest service without a steep learning curve.
Higher Earnings: Professional photography, optimized pricing, and expert marketing often increase revenue by 30-40%.
Maintain Control: Unlike traditional management, you stay involved in major decisions and keep access to your property.

What Cohosts Handle

Guest screening and communication, listing optimization, dynamic pricing, cleaning coordination, maintenance management, and review responses.

Cost Structure

Cohosting typically costs 10-25% of booking revenue—significantly less than traditional property management (25-40%) while providing similar services.

Choosing the Right Cohost

Look for local expertise, proven track records, transparent communication, and cohosts who understand your market's unique characteristics.

Success Metrics

Professional cohosts typically improve occupancy rates by 15-25%, increase average nightly rates by 10-20%, and achieve higher guest satisfaction scores.
