Property Management

Our team provides your guests with all the amenities they expect at a five-star hotel, but with the personal touch that only people who know and love the Cape can provide. From check-in until check-out, we are available to your guests for any needs that may arise. Since we are local experts, we're happy to provide dinner recommendations or fun local things to do. More importantly, we take care of every aspect of the rental process, from booking to cleaning to emergency maintenance. We offer your guests concierge-level services to ensure they have the best possible vacation.

Rock Properties partners with local companies in the cleaning, maintenance, and amenities sectors to ensure that both you and your guests have the best possible experience. Many property owners who try to manage their rentals find they're devoting so much time to the business that it's practically a full-time job.

With our full-service package, your property will be marketed worldwide. We create unique curated content and marketing materials for each listing, including copywriting, photography, virtual tours, and much more. We provide data-driven listing optimization to maximize conversions and revenue. Meanwhile, our multilingual guest services team works 24-7 to provide services including guest inquiries, guest screening, pre-arrival communications, in-house communications, and post-departure dialogue, including reviewing all guests. Regarding payment: we collect all payments automatically and remit them to you on the day of check-in. We also collect and remit monthly room taxes on your behalf for the State of Massachusetts and provide detailed monthly or quarterly financial reports.

We are local residents who run a real estate company — meaning that we comply with all local ordinances regarding short-term (fewer than 31 days) rentals. In particular, we make sure that we are charging the appropriate taxes and any fees or surcharges per state and town regulations.

In the internet age, vacationers have the power of the review to weigh in on their experience. The best way to prevent an undeservedly harsh review is to ensure your property is exactly as it is presented online and to create a comprehensive rental agreement that leaves no room for misunderstandings. 

This is where Rock Properties' expertise is unmatched. If there is a conflict, we will be the point of contact with the listing website (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) and deal with the complaint professionally.

According to CNBC, a property owner should invest about $1,500 per bedroom and another $3,000 in the house’s common areas. Since you compete with hundreds of other rentals on websites like Airbnb, your property must present well online. Rock Properties offers on-site consultations to determine how you can upgrade your property to attract high-quality tenants and provides professional photography services to showcase the house's highlights on the listing. Whether your property features a top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen or sweeping ocean views, we’ll ensure that photos show off everything it offers.

Rock Properties is properly insured to manage your property. In partnership with a leading damage protection provider, we provide short-term rental liability and damage protection. Using proprietary tech, we validate each and every one of our guests to help prevent fraud, bad behavior, and damage to our properties ($1,400,000 of Host Liability Protection and another $1,400,000 in Damage Protection). 

Additionally, we provide smart home technology options. Our keyless entry solution generates one-time codes that are unique to each guest. They will access our world-class guest portal to find check-in instructions, a guest book, rental agreements, and more. Inside your property, our noise monitoring system helps prevent parties and unauthorized occupancy. Ultimately, our services and technologies add a deeper level of security to your property rentals and ease for your guests.

Your guests expect a sparkling clean vacation home, and Rock Properties partners with the premier cleaning services on the Cape to ensure that happens. A cleaning team comes in after the guests check out and thoroughly cleans and sanitizes from top to bottom.

Linens in rental properties can wear out quickly. We provide two options: owners can elect to do their own turnover and cleaning or opt into the full-service package. Once you opt into full service, we provide all of your luxurious linens to reduce your upfront stocking costs. We provide top-quality linens; they are changed between tenants, professionally sanitized after use, and restocked as necessary for general wear and tear. This attention to detail gives your guests an additional level of comfort while giving you peace of mind that everything is taken care of effortlessly.

Our attention to detail sets us apart from other management companies. At Rock Properties, we provide the operational, management, and maintenance services you need, along with added safety features like keyless entry, noise monitoring, up-front guest verification, and 24-7 guest services. We go the extra mile to ensure our services offer your guests the luxury and comfort they deserve for their vacations. Ultimately, Rock Properties aims to provide a customized vacation experience with a local flare for each and every one of our guests.
