As a vacation rental property owner, you know that marketing your property and working with potential guests can be a daunting task. Setting the correct nightly rate, keeping up with maintenance tasks, ensuring each clean is to your standards, and keeping on top of everything. At Elite Pacific by Gather, we know a lot goes into owning a rental property. And it’s not easy, and homeowners need all the help they can get.

One way homeowners can stay on top of their rental game is by leveraging Elite Pacific by Gather’s homeowner benefits. Elite Pacific by Gather’s full-service offering, by a local manager, provides homeowners with an array of tools, technology, and services that help them stay ahead of the competition. 

Here are some of the unique advantages that Elite Pacific by Gather provides for homeowners.

Homeowner Portal

One of Elite Pacific by Gather’s most unique features is its Homeowner Portal. This portal provides homeowners with clear visibility of the performance of their property(s). Owners can easily access rental and revenue data and track occupancy rates, future guest bookings, and all costs incurred. It also provides easy-to-read reports on the performance of your property and alerts owners when they need to take action.

The portal also allows you to create an owner hold for stays. Guest-of-owner stays are also easy to make, ensuring that you and your family and friends can hold dates for the use of your rental home.

An additional benefit is that you can view, download, or print any past statements you need to. These include financial statements, weekly summary reports, and other essential documents.

Robust Marketing

As the competition for vacation rentals increases, it’s essential to ensure you’re getting your property in front of the maximum number of potential guests. Elite Pacific by Gather helps homeowners do just that with its sophisticated marketing services.
