VACATION Home MANAGEMENT
Serving property owners in Charleston, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island & Seabrook Island.
We specialize in marketing & managing fully furnished, short-term rental properties in Charleston, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, James Island and Johns Island.
100% FOCUS ON SHORT TERM RENTALS
Unlike many other vacation rental management companies in the area, we do not also do real estate sales or long-term property management. We focus 100% of our time, attention & business on short-term rentals. A short-term rental property can be a vacation home near the beach, an urban home near a bustling commercial district or a suburban retreat. Guests of short-term rental properties may be vacationers, corporate employees or out-of-town individuals checking out the area before making the move to the Charleston area.
GLOBAL INTERNET MARKETING
We market our short-term rental properties by building a customized listing for each rental property on our itrip.net website, which integrates with 180+ online listing sites (VRBO, HomeAway, Airbnb, FLIPKEY, Booking.com and dozens more). Because our site integrates directly with these vacation rental platforms, our reservations calendars for our rental properties are automatically updated as reservations are made for our rental properties on the various websites.
WE CREATE THE BEST LISTINGS, GET THE BEST REVIEWS
We utilize our itrip.net website and iTrip Vacations’ strategic alliances with the vacation rental industry’s busiest websites to generate more online views of our short-term rental properties. More online views of our professional photographs and engaging descriptions of our rental properties leads to more bookings and higher rental revenues. iTrip Vacations uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to run its digital marketing campaigns, which allows it to make hundreds of micro adjustments to our marketing campaigns every day. These small adjustments may only increase our rentals by small percentages but added up over weeks and months we are able to provide smarter marketing that adds up to major results.
PERSONAL ATTENTION
Marketing is only one way that we stand out from our competition. We also make customer service & communications – for both our homeowners and our guests – a top priority in our business model. We want our homeowners and guests to feel that we hear them, understand them and will promptly & competently address their questions or concerns. We also utilize mobile apps, emails and text messages to communicate with guests and respond to their needs.
COMPETITIVE MANAGEMENT FEES
Due to our investment in technology we are able to easily scale our business and pass on the savings to our property owners by charging a very competitive fee.
