Essential Services We Provide

24/7 Guest Communication

Never take a guest's late-night phone call. We handle the communication before and during the stay.

Cleaning & Laundry

Don't worry about whether your home is prepped. We hire, train, and coordinate with cleaning professionals.

Repairs + Maintenance

Squeaky bed. Water leak. Overgrown lawn. We coordinate with maintenance professionals to make sure your property is always in top-shape.

Revenue + Occupancy Management

A full calendar at $300 per night is not the same as a full-calendar at $400 per night. We use 3rd party software to optimize rates based on daily demand changes.

Continuous Listing Optimization

Airbnb and VRBO constantly make changes in their algorithms. We work to get the listing high in the search results, which requires continuous tweaking and refining.

Custom Digital Guidebook

Guests have a lot of questions. We love helping them and create a unique guidebook for your property to enhance the guest stay and address questions they may have proactively.

We Do Things Others Can't

Direct Bookings

It's nice to have a site to direct contacts, advertisements, and return guests to. We can create and maintain a site where guests can book direct and save on fees.

Retention Marketing

Your best customers are those who have already stayed with you. We can set up processes to stay in contact with past guests via email and social media and encourage rebooking.

Photos Unlike Anyone Else

We work with only the best photographers to tell the story of your property. Using unique staging and lifestyle photos, your home will come to life and jump off the page to future guests, stopping the scroll on all travel websites.

Case Study: The Elective

This stately plantation style home is located in a serene setting, but in a market where the average revenue is $$26k per year. We consulted with the owners on the front end with design, amenities, furnishings, set up, and had professional photos taken. We also set up a strategic pricing strategy to balance occupancy and revenue and we listed the property on other sites (not just Airbnb). The results are astounding!

2023(launced in late May): $7,428/mo

2024: $62,000 Booked in 2024 so far

Projected (2024/Airbnb, VRBO & Direct): $9500/mo

Guests Will Love Your Properties

We have received 4.9 out of 5 stars from the properties we host.

Everything about this vacation stay was incredible from the chicken coop with hens laying fresh eggs for breakfast to the peaceful wooded setting. The barn studio is exceptionally equipped and if you're an animal lover like I am, Snickers the barn cat will make you feel right at home. The best place we've ever stayed!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a boutique company like Basecamp?

Short-term rental investing is not passive. It's often said that it's 20x more work to manage a short-term rental than a long-term rental.

Whether this is a second home for your family or strictly an investment property that produces an income stream, homes need care and attention. Working with a professional small business will give you peace of mind that everything will be cared for and ready when you or your guests come visit.

What are your fees?

We believe in simple and transparent pricing.

1) Set-up Fee (typically $1500-3000): This covers all the upfront work required to get a property prepped and ready for optimal performance. This may include travel, physical space prep, coordinating professional photography and video content, listing creation, direct booking set up, social media setup, ad preparation, etc.

2) Booking Management Fee (25% of gross rental income): We only make money when you make money which is a great model because it jointly incentivizes us to help the rental property succeed. We will track booking revenue and invoice you once per month.

3) Monthly Retainer fee ($199 per month): We don't believe in annual contracts and want to earn the privilege to support you every month. This retainer fee is our standard monthly fee to be personally available to you 24/7. This could be answering questions you have about the property, reviewing performance, or even consulting on other investments you want another opinion on.

Can I work with you if I'm already under contract with someone else?

Yes, most contracts have an end or cancel clause. We can look at that with you and strategize the best way to end your current contract with the least hassle and lost revenue.

Which areas do you service?

We primarily focus on the Upstate of SC, Lake Hartwell all the way into GA, Blue Ridge GA area, Western NC, and the Carolina Coasts. No matter where you are investing, we have the tools and expertise to advise you on how to maximize your rental revenue.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No, our partnership agreement has no term length. The relationship can be ended by either party with a written 30-day notice.

How do you find local cleaning and maintenance support?

In all of our markets we have a thoroughly vetted and efficient team in place for all of your property needs. We have systems and processes in place for managing these support teams to ensure high-quality work.

Do you allow pets at the homes you co-host?

This is up to the owners. In properties we own, we allow pets and have processes and resources in place to handle pet-specific issues, including arrangements with cleaners. When we perform our property analysis for you, we will look at the market and the property characteristics and advise you whether it's a good idea to allow pets. We have seen that it generally does help drive more bookings to allow pets.

How do you manage supplies?

We will inventory and manage them for you, so this is not something you need to think about.

Do you create or manage our direct booking site?

We have created and manage a direct booking site which can be a great way to reduce fees and maximize ROI on off-platform marketing. We target market past guests using email campaigns that drive them to this direct booking site.
