List your Vinalhaven property with the most trusted local management company. Us!

When placing renters at your property it is my main priority to find quality people who will care for your island home. By setting up clear guidelines, homeowners and Vinalhaven Vacation Rentals have the ability to set expectations for guests before their arrival. In my experience, being transparent about the expectations of the homeowner and renter are important to understand in order to avoid any surprises. This allows for an overall positive experience for all parties involved.

How to prepare your home to rent with Vinalhaven Vacation Rentals

• To provide the best product possible, it is important that each property we manage to be clean, de-cluttered, and well maintained

• All safety issues, including mold, pests, and fire hazards in the home need to be addressed before the rental season

• All homes must be insured

• Peak season for rentals are late June-early September. The property must be available for rental for a minimum of 5 weeks in this window. 

• Property owners must provide two sets of house keys

• Two sets of high quality sheets must be provided for each bed in the house

• One towel per maximum occupancy must be provided

• Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels) must be provided for the entire rental season

• Cleaning Products including functioning vacuum cleaner, mop, hand soaps, broom, multi-surface cleaner, tile/tub cleaner, and any other specific cleaners you use in your home must be provided

• All appliances in the home must be fully functional and all repairs need to be taken care of before the rental season

• Homeowners need to provide contact information for their prefered plumber, electrician, and care taker (if applicable)

• Homes need to have working wifi and landline phones (unless otherwise approved by rental manager)

• Homes with fireplaces need to remove any firewood or matches from the area to discourage use of fireplace. Additionally a sign should be placed on fireplace to avoid usage

• Any personal items that would be an issue if they were to be lost or broken need to be removed and secured in a locked owners closet. I suggest that homeowners purchase a separate set of dishes, cups and mugs that would satisfy the maximum occupancy
