Rental management
Short-term rental management on the Kvarner coast
You are not on site, and the guest writes on Monday evening expecting an answer on Monday evening. Keys change hands on Saturdays, eVisitor has deadlines, and June and September sit empty because nobody moves the rates through the season. All of it can be handed to us. You get the report, the income and the quiet.
What we do instead of you
We run the rental from categorisation and listings to the guest checking out. We do this every day on our own properties, so we are not selling a service we would not use ourselves. The list is final. If something is not on it, we say so up front.
01
Listings and prices
Photography, listing copy, publishing on Airbnb, Booking.com and our own site. Seasonal rates and adjustments through the year.
02
Guests and calendar
Replies to enquiries, bookings, one calendar for every portal and collecting the deposit. No double bookings.
03
Arrivals and departures
Meeting the guests, a walk through the property and availability during the stay. A host in Crikvenica, not a call centre.
04
Cleaning and linen
Turnaround between guests, bed linen and towels, consumables. Small repairs by agreement with you.
05
Registrations and paperwork
eVisitor registration for every guest, tourist tax, the guest book. Help with categorisation if the property is still being prepared.
06
Reporting
Monthly: nights, income, costs, occupancy and what we suggest for the month ahead. One document, nothing invented.
What working together looks like
1
Visit and estimate
We come and look at the property and put together a rough estimate of its income potential. Based on location, capacity, facilities and demand. The estimate is not a promise of income, but a basis for your decision.
2
Contract and setup
The fee model, the term and the notice period in writing. Then photos, listings and the rate card.
3
Season
We run the guests and the property. You get the report and can block dates for yourself.
4
Settlement
Payouts on the agreed rhythm and a season review with a proposal for the next one.
Fee
Per property
A percentage of the rental income earned. No monthly subscription and nothing charged for empty dates. We agree the figure for each property separately.
Contract
By agreement
The term and the notice period are set out in the contract, and depend on the property and the model of cooperation.
Area
Kvarner
Crikvenica, Selce, Dramalj, Jadranovo and Novi Vinodolski. We do not go further because we could not keep up.
Is handing the property over worth it
Most owners on this coast do not lose money on price but on empty dates and poor photographs. A property listed on a single portal, with a rate card that never changes through the season, sits empty in June and September, the months when Crikvenica does well, because the sea warms up early and stays warm to the end of September.
The second item is time. The average guest sends three to five messages before booking and expects a reply within hours; in summer that means a phone in your hand from eight in the morning to ten at night, every day. If you live in Zagreb or in Germany, arrivals and key handovers are the next problem.
The fee pays for itself when the difference in occupancy and price covers the percentage, and in practice that shows in the first full season. If we judge that it does not pay off, we will tell you at the visit and will not take the property on.
Common questions from owners
For a specific property, send us the address and the capacity.
I don't speak Croatian. Is that a problem?
No. The contract, the statements and all correspondence are in English.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. You block the dates you want and they're never offered. Just let us know before the season starts. July dates sell in January.
What if I don't have the categorisation certificate?
We'll take you through the process. At no separate charge if we're managing the property.
What does the contract look like?
On request.
What can I realistically earn?
On request.
Do you take on properties outside Crikvenica?
We work between Jadranovo and Selce. Nothing further out. We couldn't be there in half an hour, and that's the whole point.
Income estimate
Send us the details of the property
The address, the capacity and a few phone photos are enough. We reply with a rough estimate of the income potential and a suggested rate card.
