Vacation rental property management is a full-service offering that handles everything required to operate a short-term rental — listing optimization, guest communication, dynamic pricing, cleaning, maintenance, and owner reporting — on behalf of the owner. Awning provides this service nationwide, managing 20,000+ properties across all 50 states starting at 10% of revenue. Learn how it works with Awning’s vacation rental management services.

Airbnb management covers optimizing your listing, managing bookings and calendars, messaging guests, coordinating cleaning and repairs, and adjusting pricing to drive revenue. A professional manager handles these tasks so owners can stay passive.

Professional Airbnb managers handle everything from guest inquiries and pricing to maintenance and compliance, resulting in higher efficiency, more consistent occupancy, and better reviews—even while you focus on other priorities. Explore more at Awning’s owner resources.

You can self-manage, but most owners find that the time spent on guest communication, price optimization, and coordination with cleaners outweighs the management fee. Owners using a full-service manager typically earn more net revenue after fees because of better pricing, higher occupancy, and fewer operational mistakes. Awning starts at 10%, well below the 25–40% industry average.

Owners can block dates on the calendar for personal use as long as it doesn’t conflict with existing bookings. Discuss your calendar preferences directly with your Awning advisor. Start with Awning contact & advisor scheduling.

Awning’s full-service vacation rental management fees start at 10% of monthly revenue, depending on property type, location, and services needed. This competitive pricing includes core management but may vary with additional offerings. See the full breakdown at Airbnb management fees explained.

Full-service vacation rental management costs between 10% and 40% of booking revenue, depending on the provider and the scope of service. Awning starts at 10% of revenue with no setup fees, no cancellation penalties, and a 90-day notice period to cancel. Most competitors charge 25–40% and require annual contracts.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but "vacation rental management" is broader — it includes listings on Airbnb plus Vrbo, Booking.com, direct-booking sites, and 50+ other channels. Awning manages as a vacation rental manager, meaning your home earns from every channel, not just Airbnb. This typically increases total bookings by 20–30% versus Airbnb-only listings.
