We are an AirBnB management company, specializing in helping homeowners generate significant income from their second Cape Cod home. We handle all details of marketing, screening and hosting using the fast growing, phenomenally successful international AirBnB platform.
If you own a second or summer home on Cape Cod and have thought about renting your property to help with the ownership expenses of property taxes, maintenance or paying a mortgage, we can help.
We work with property owners on both ends of the AirBnB home sharing spectrum, from renting a single room or suite in the home where you live to the full management of second homes, rental properties and luxury homes on the market for longer than anticipated.

MARKET RESEARCH:
We constantly review listings of properties in our market area to ensure every listing we manage is priced right – not too high and not too low. We have lived on the Cape all our lives and have a very practical understanding of the market, plus decades of experience in real estate sales and marketing.
PROFESSIONAL STAGING AND PHOTOGRAPHY:
A picture is worth a thousand words, but a professionally staged and photographed picture is worth a hundred thousand words!! Our experienced crews work with you to develop a plan to make every room sparkle in every shot – your home never looked so good! Research shows that potential guests sorting through listings make a decision to look deeper in as little as a quarter of a second. WE MAKE THAT QUARTER SECOND COUNT.
DEVELOP THE PERFECT LISTING:
With full knowledge of the local market and a selection of professionally staged photos we use our training and creative skills to craft a description of your home which makes it stand out from all the other properties for rent! There may be thousands of listings in your area, but yours is professionally crafted, scientifically tested and LOOKS GREAT!!
RESPOND TO GUEST INQUIRIES:
You want guests, they have questions. Lot’s of questions. The same questions, over and over. We take care of that, answering every question your prospective visitors may have, no matter how many times they ask. WE HAVE PATIENCE – partly from over a century of experience dealing with tourists on Cape Cod and partly from a proprietary algorithm we’ve developed to answer the 4,340 most likely questions your guests will ask. And we’ll answer every one personally, usually within seconds, keeping you customer response scores SKY HIGH!!
SCREEN POTENTIAL GUESTS:
Not every guest is a good guest – some are more trouble than they’re worth. AirBnB has a sophisticated feedback mechanism to rate hosts and guests, and with the acquisition of Trooly, AirBnB has made a significant commitment to verifying identities of potential guests. Air-CapeCod uses every identity verification tool AirBnB offers, plus, with our “My Guy Drives By” service, offers you real-time, on the ground verification your guests are the real deal.
CONTINUALLY OPTIMIZE YOUR LISTING & PROFILE:
This AirBnB thing is internet stuff, constantly changing. One day, a certain combination of words is gold, the next day, crap. We track those changes, continuously updating your listing and profile to be FRESH, WOKE and RELEVANT. We track the PC of the SJW’s and the algorithms of Google keep your listing up to date and relevant
SCHEDULE CLEANING, LANDSCAPING & OTHER CONTRACT SERVICES:
Having a highly rated, profitable rental property is all about execution of very simple tasks in a timely, efficient manner. We handle scheduling and supervising these important jobs which must be done right, on time, every time – cleaning, landscaping, fixing a toilet, replacing an air conditioner, etc. – we’ll work with your service providers or refer ours .
KEY EXCHANGE & DRIVE BY SERVICE
We offer both Key Exchange and Drive By Service as standalone products, starting at just $24.99 and include it in all our service packages. These are essential components of professionally managing your AirBnB listing – we meet your guests face to face, discuss the features of your property and verify that everything seems right. We let them know that we live in the area and will be driving by from time to time. Personally meeting guests and letting them know you are in the area are by far the most important element in protecting your home from frauds, scams and other problems.
AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATIONS:
We let you know when your guests arrive, and notify you immediately if we have any questions or suspicions about them. We notify you when they leave, how they left the house. We write the AirBnB reviews and rate your guests. If they have any problems with your property or if your neighbors have any problems with your guests, we let you know immediately. Based on your personal preferences we’ll let you know when the cleaning is done, or when any other contract services are completed. We keep you up to date on every detail by text, email or phone, whichever method of contact you prefer.
PROVIDE 24/7 SUPPORT FOR YOUR GUESTS:
Providing your guests with responsive, responsible 24/7 support is critical to guest satisfaction and your ratings as a host. AirBnB considers a number of factors to determine where and when your listing will appear in searches, AirBnB online advertising and whether you will become a “Superhost“. Good communication and customer support are key to four of the five criteria analyzed – our ratings are consistently 100%, with all potential guest inquiries and questions from guests responded to within five minutes. We are committed to customer service.
In addition, we are committed to serving you, as one of our client hosts, with the same 24/7 availability and support.
