What is the difference between a professionally managed rental property and a vacation rental by owner?
Professionally managed rental properties are units under the supervision of a local caretaker or management company, often hired by the owner of a unit to oversee the guest experience. The local office is typically responsible for managing availability, cleaning and maintenance of the rental unit, assisting renters with check-in/check-out procedures and providing onsite support. An individual property owner who manages their own vacation rental units may or may not live locally, and may be limited in their availability to provide assistance should you have any problems. Most of Orbitz Vacation Rentals’s vacation rentals are professionally managed, so you can rest assured knowing there will be local assistance should any problems occur at the property during your stay. Finally, Orbitz Vacation Rentals manages the security deposit and payments between you and the management company or the rental owner, reducing the risk of sending a personal check to an unknown party.
