FAQs
1. What upfront costs does Sunny Vacation Homes charge?
None. All management fees, initial bed set up, linen hire and pre clean are taken out of the profit received from guests once the first booking comes in.
2. Can I still use my property for personal stays?
Absolutely. Owner stays are always accommodated. Simply let us know your preferred dates in advance, and we will block those periods from the booking calendar. Your property remains yours; we simply manage the short-term rental side of things so it earns for you when you are not using it.
3. Do I need to be available to manage guest interactions?
Not at all. As part of our full-service Short-Term Management package, our team handles all guest communication from initial enquiry right through to post-stay reviews. We provide 24/7 support, coordinate check-ins and check-outs, and manage any issues that arise, so you can enjoy truly passive income from your investment property.
