Optimize Your Listing and Utilize Creative Marketing
There are thousands of other property owners competing for their slice of the market, so you need to ensure that your Airbnb stands out. We employ various creative marketing tactics to help bring in the best guests and to maximize your revenue.
Utilizing Best Practices in Listing Management
When prospective guests first come across your listing, content matters. As a member of Vacation Rental Management Association (“VRMA”) we utilize best vacation rental management practices and ensure that each listing is unique and descriptive, from the heading to the rest of the copy. We always include plenty of high-quality photos to showcase your property in its best light and photos of local attractions.
Customized Marketing and Promotion
We partner with multiple channels to promote your vacation rental property in San Diego. Channels such as Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Whimstay, and Hopper. We also promote content on a number of social networking platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. In addition to Airbnb, when your property is managed by Haustay it will be listed on multiple platforms to get the highest exposure to the market possible.
Professional Photography
Without high-quality photos, people are simply left to imagine the space. We need to ensure they can put themselves inside your property before they even book. We sell vacations. We only use the most experienced and capable professional photographers and generate the best-quality imagery to make your property shine.
When promoting your vacation rental property through high-quality photos, you have to ensure that when guests arrive the unit looks like the photos. Haustay has a team of experienced cleaners and a post-cleaning inspection process to make sure the property is reset to look like the photos. This helps us continue to receive five-star reviews from guests, time and time again.
Property Inspections and Quality Assurance Are Our Strength
Our experienced team will do a walk-through of each property between rentals and look for any issues. If needed, they will bring in a standby team of top-class contractors to perform any maintenance. We are committed to quality with attention to detail.

An Airbnb Property Management Checklist for the Perfect Contract
When you open up your vacation home to a stranger, you must ensure that you have a watertight contract. This will protect you and let the other party know exactly what to expect. With a comprehensive contract, they will be clear about what they can and cannot do.
1. Always Read the Contract Thoroughly
Before you consider using an “off-the-shelf” contract (and there are many of these around), ensure that you read the fine print thoroughly — remember, any mistake could turn out to be costly. Our team will be delighted to advise you.
2. Figure Out Expectations As Soon As Possible
You’ll want to avoid confusion at every stage of the process and ensure that the other party knows exactly what to expect before they arrive. A carefully worded contract means that if there are any questions, they can be answered as soon as possible.
3. You Don’t Want to Forget These in Your Property Management Contract
Your Airbnb property management contract must lay out certain conditions and responsibilities without any room for “interpretation.”
4. Service & Fees
You must be very clear about what you are providing and what they will get in return. Make a list of the services a guest will receive and how much they will have to pay for them.
5. Clear-cut Responsibilities of the Property Owner
So there can be no doubt, clarify your responsibilities. You should also refer to any limitations and ensure that a guest does not anticipate something that you are unable or unwilling to provide.
6. Liability Insurance
You must have liability insurance to cover you if a guest sustains an injury during their stay at your property. You may want to include a liability waiver if the property has a swimming pool.
7. Reasonable Care Clause
Make it clear that guests must take reasonable care when they are on your property. In other words, you expect them to look after your furnishings, fittings, and the property in general. Consider adding a section that may make them liable for damages.
8. Duration of the Contract
Clearly state the arrival and departure dates and times and point out that there is no leeway when it comes to departure.
9. Conditions for Termination
Here, you will state your red lines. For example, you have the right to terminate the contract if they bring in additional guests not listed in the contract, host some kind of party without prior approval, etc.
What Will You Pay for Airbnb Property Management in Carlsbad?
As you work out whether to retain a professional Airbnb property management company, you will be weighing up all the options. One important factor is cost, and you’ll want to know how Haustay calculates its charges.
Size of the Rental
You need to consider the property’s overall size, as this can have a bearing on various costs. For example, you can expect to pay more to clean a larger property with a pool.
Type of Property
You may expect to budget more for routine and periodic maintenance if you have a large, beachside house complete with a pool and jacuzzi. On the other hand, maintenance costs may be much lower if you have a condominium in an existing development that offers shared facilities to all guests.
Extent of Services
Figure out what types of services you require and how many vacation rental properties you own. Each property must be independently marketed and managed if you are to get the ultimate return from your property portfolio.
Location of the Rental
It’s much easier to manage a vacation rental home if you live nearby. However, many investors do not live in the vicinity and should carefully consider how much it’ll cost (in real terms) if they do not use a property management company. In addition to keeping an eye on the property in between rentals, you could face unexpected and significant costs if you need to rush to the property to take care of a last-minute emergency.
Property Condition
You must ensure that your property is always kept in first-class condition. You cannot afford to get any negative reviews as this could significantly affect your success rate. As such, you can expect a certain amount of routine maintenance costs, periodic painting, and other chores. All of this work needs to be coordinated, supervised, and managed correctly.
