CO-HOSTING

Co-Hosting for Remote Owners

You can't coordinate cleaners from Calgary. You can't fix a burst pipe from Toronto. But you can still earn top dollar on your Nova Scotia property — with the right local partner. 4.7★ across 590+ Airbnb guest reviews (as of July 2026).

The Remote Owner's Reality

You own property in Nova Scotia. You live somewhere else. That means your property is either sitting empty — while your carrying costs run on — or rented long-term for a fraction of what comparable short-term rentals earn — Lunenburg STRs average about $264/night at 51% occupancy (AirROI, July 2026).

The reason you haven't switched? STR isn't passive. Guests message at 11pm. Cleaners cancel. Pipes burst. Someone needs to be there physically — and that someone can't be you from 2,000 km away.

You need more than a property manager. You need a local partner who treats your home with the same care you would.

What Co-Hosting Actually Means

You're the owner and strategist. We're the boots on the ground. Your listing stays in your name, revenue goes directly to you, and you make the big calls.

  • You decide the pricing — we provide data-backed recommendations
  • You block dates for personal use — we coordinate around them
  • You choose the strategy — we handle every local operation
  • Your accounts, your reviews, your control — always

How the Partnership Works

What We Handle

  • 24/7 guest communication — fast, professional responses
  • Cleaning & quality control — inspected turnovers, restocked essentials
  • Check-in management — smart locks, welcome comms, smooth arrivals
  • Emergency maintenance — fast response, photo reports, resolved situations
  • Property inspections — regular walkthroughs with photo documentation
  • Regulatory compliance — registration, permits, levy filings
  • Pricing recommendations — data-backed, you set the final rate

What You Keep

  • Your listing & accounts — reviews, history, guest relationships
  • Pricing decisions — approve every booking or set rules, your call
  • Calendar control — block personal dates, seasonal strategy
  • Property improvements — your asset, your investment decisions
  • Financial management — revenue goes directly to you

Far Away. Never in the Dark.

The biggest anxiety remote owners have isn't about revenue — it's about not knowing. That's why transparency is the foundation of our co-hosting service.

  • Monthly reports — occupancy, revenue, guest ratings, market comparison
  • Photo documentation — after every inspection and turnover
  • Maintenance logs — every repair, contractor, and cost documented
  • Real-time messaging — direct access to your property coordinator
  • Seasonal recommendations — winterization, upgrades, pricing shifts

Co-Hosting Pricing

Co-hosting uses the same transparent fee structure as our full management service: 20% of gross booking revenue. No setup fees, no monthly minimums. The only difference is how involved you want to be — not what you pay.

Before -$14.4K/yr Vacant · carrying costs only
After (Co-Hosted) +$17.6K/yr net 62% occupancy · after 20% fee · owner keeps 4 wks
