Common Challenges.

  • Lacking character or energy — properties that feel generic or outdated and need fresh design ideas to create a memorable guest experience.
  • Deferred maintenance issues — homes that require a thorough inspection and a clear plan to bring them back to top condition.
  • Previously mismanaged rentals — great properties with potential that simply need the right team, systems, and care to perform.
  • Inconsistent guest experience — stays that vary in quality due to poor communication, unclear processes, or lack of attention to detail.
  • Words From The Manager.

    We see every new property as an opportunity for a case study. Each home has its own unique challenges and opportunities, and it’s our job to minimize the challenges while maximizing the potential for both the homeowner and the guests. With great management, clear communication, and a guest-focused approach, we’re able to turn every property into a success story.

Our Approach.

When we bring on a new property, our first step is understanding its story; what’s working, what’s not, and where the opportunities lie.

  • Identify challenges early — we assess the property thoroughly and speak with the homeowner to understand any known issues from previous managers, guests, or experiences.
  • Clarify what we can control — we separate challenges we can actively resolve from those we’ll need to navigate strategically.
  • Set a strong foundation — every property is professionally cleaned and audited so we know it meets our standards before the first guest arrives.
  • Document everything — we capture detailed listing photos as well as internal documentation photos to ensure accuracy and consistency.
  • Prioritize clear communication — we tell guests exactly what to expect, from nearby train noise to lively nightlife. Transparency builds trust, and trust creates great reviews.

What Our Homeowners Have To Say.

” Lifty Life Vacation Rentals has been managing my property since the summer of 2022. This company has been professional and amazing to work with since the very beginning. Any apprehension my husband and I felt about renting our home out quickly dissipated. They manage the business with confidence and ease and deal with issues as they arise with speed and positivity. We had always been hesitant because of different horror stories with short term rentals and now we don’t give it a second thought. We would recommend Lifty Life Vacation Rentals to anyone who is considering renting their home above anyone else.”
