Meet Vacasa
Demand for alternative lodging is at an all time high, with one in three travelers choosing vacation rentals over traditional hotels. This consumer trend has set the oncesleepy vacation rental industry on a trajectory to be worth $194 billion by 2021. Shaping the future of this rapidly changing industry is Vacasa, a next-gen hospitality company that’s emerging as a leader for all things vacation rental. Here, we’re taking a closer look at this one-stop shop for all your vacation rental needs.
Local Teams, Global Network
Caring for over 12,000 properties around the world, Vacasa is North America’s largest manager of vacation properties. The company utilizes sophisticated marketing techniques to maximize bookings while their pricing algorithm adjusts rates in real time so that homeowners never leave money on the table. The company’s technology is complemented by personal service from exceptional local hospitality professionals who care for guests and vacation homeowners in every Vacasa market.
“As homeowners who don’t live in the immediate area, it’s important to us that we have a local team on St. Simons Island that is responsive and able to attend to guests needs in a timely manner,” said Linda Bernhard, owner of Emil Cottage. “Roniece and the Vacasa team take care of every aspect of our vacation rental property and I can rest easy knowing that our guests and our home are cared for as visitors enjoy the island.”
End-To-End Management
Vacasa’s local teams handle permitting, tax registration and other details, with comprehensive property management services covering everything from bookings and home care to 24/7 guest service. In addition to their impressive local teams, Vacasa has a central office staffed with professionals specializing in everything from interior design, marketing, data analytics and operations.
Connecting Buyers and Sellers
In 2018, Vacasa launched Vacasa Real Estate to connect vacation home buyers and sellers with local agents. With access to rental performance data, a steady stream of buyer leads, and the largest inventory of vacation homes in the country, Vacasa is uniquely positioned to streamline the process of buying and selling investment properties – and to simplify the experience of renting them out.
Online booking technology has made vacation rentals an increasingly popular alternative to hotels. With guest demand growing rapidly, Vacasa’s one-stop shop model enables more people than ever to effortlessly enjoy the rewards of owning a vacation home.
