… Liz and Mark do a great job for us! They are both very helpful and always responsive to any questions or anything we need and that’s important to us as we are rookies at this rental thing. Should anyone ask I always recommend dunes properties as a result.

To provide the highest level of transparency, we do not employ maintenance or housekeeping personnel. This allows our team to negotiate better pricing for clients without a potential ‘conflict of interest’. Many new vacation rental owners are enticed by the idea of "in house” services offered by other management companies. 

Most home owners keep private linens in a locked owners closet for personal use. For vacation guests, linens are provided by 3rd party companies and built into housekeeping costs. This keeps home owners from having to buy and replace linens frequently.

Only a signature is required to get started. We have found many property owners worry about changing to a new management company. At dunes properties, we make the transition seamless and simple for clients joining us from other companies. Existing reservations are honored so no income is lost. The change is easy and quick!

Not at dunes properties! Our vacation rental division was created for our clients’ needs. Some management companies go as far as charging their clients to visit. At dunes properties, we offer an open schedule with minimal restrictions.
Before the internet, using a large management company meant a larger marketing budget. This is no longer the case. Now, small to medium sized companies can often provide more attentive service while enjoying the same marketing reach as larger companies due to the power of the web. At dunes properties, we recognize this change in the vacation rental landscape and interview all new clients to verify we only offer qualifying properties as vacation rentals. This keeps our community small while attentive and provides clients and guests with the highest level of service.

Your bottom line. With over 30 years of experience, the highest rating in the state, and a tech-savvy, energetic team, our clients boast the biggest perk with dunes is the bottom line as well as the attention and care their homes and guests receive. We are focused on providing the highest rental income for each client, not the highest number of clients. Be wary of offers such as complimentary TVs and cleanings.

Properly organizing and administering your vacation rental business requires a great deal of time and attention. We handle every aspect of the rental process from a guest’s first call to his or her day of departure. We also provide monthly accounting of income & expenses as well as satisfaction of state and local requirements for short term vacation rentals. This service covers the administration of your rental business. A percentage of rental income is retained for this service. Percentages are property specific and based on the features, location, size, and age of each property. This provides a fair representation to all clients. Please contact us for your personalized rate.

Reaching potential guests is a top priority, and we provide aggressive marketing strategies for our community of property owners. By harnessing the power of the web, print, email campaigns, Google search, and a guest database built over the past 25+ years, "the dunes difference” marketing service provides our owner community with excitingly strong revenue year after year. This service is $360 annually and provided to all new vacation rental owners as community marketing.

Our Property Care service includes routine inspections by your primary, licensed property manager to verify maintenance, security, and safety of your home. Although often ignored by "big box” management companies, this foundation to our program offers peace of mind to clients. We also offer one of the best property-to-manager ratios on the Charleston Coast. This translates to better care, better communication, and lower long term maintenance costs for clients.

We do not charge surplus or "markup maintenance fees” to clients for necessary property maintenance & repairs. Costs for maintenance and repairs are exactly as billed by the 3rd party provider without extra fees, exactly like advertising or cleaning. This approach as well as our trusted relationship with our vendors, allows us to negotiate reduced costs for clients while focusing on increasing rental income. Repairs and maintenance invoices and costs are presented monthly on your owner statement. Invoices are included.

Ultimately, your vacation guests are the source of all your income. Most cleaning costs are collected directly from guests to not burden you. We have the ability to build the cleaning fees into the base rent as our research shows tacking on too many fees is a top reason why guests book somewhere else. Any additional housekeeping expenses, such as touch ups and deep cleans are displayed on monthly statements so our clients are aware of what amount is being charged for the service. We believe this approach provides the highest level of transparency for clients and the best sales strategy for vacation guests.
