FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OWNERS

  • How does it work? We manage the entire rental process from start to finish. It begins with our team matching guests to your vacation rental and corresponding to any inquiries. We take care of all payments, directions, additional information and even provide a 24/7 emergency line for guests.
  • How often can I use my vacation property? Our team will provide you with an Owner Portal for you to reserve the dates that you wish to use your vacation property. Once you have selected all the dates that you are intending to use, we go to work to rent out the rest. The more weeks you make available during peak periods, the more profitable rentals you will receive.
  • What do I need to provide? Our team will go through a full list of inventory that is required in order to have satisfied vacationers and management services. Your property will need to be equipped with enough cooking utensils, plates, glassware, etc. for the maximum capacity of your vacation rental along with all the basic appliances. In addition, all properties are required to have functioning internet, at least one television and washer/dryer. True Key Vacations also requires adequate safety supplies to be accessible within the rental, and clearly marked. These include fire extinguishers, functioning fire alarms, first aid kit and flashlights for potential power outages. Optional inclusions which may make your property more coveted are; water toys, bicycles, games/puzzles, additional televisions and streaming app capabilities, pool tables, volleyball equipment, etc. These items will help ensure your property is rented more frequently and attracts loyal guests who return again and again.
