The Vacation Rental Industry

Vacation rentals come fully furnished and are individually owned investment properties like condos, villas, and homes that get rented to visitors. Destinations vary from ski areas, beaches, national parks, locales off the beaten path, and many other places that offer desired vacation experiences.

Guests that rent from a property management company get to experience the benefits of a traditional hotel stay with additional amenities, services, and an inherent value that remains unmatched. 

Prior to COVID-19, the vacation rental industry had already been booming in recent years with VC investments from hospitality companies and large multi-location companies buying up smaller companies. Since 2020, guest demand for private vacation rental properties has taken the profitability of the vacation rental industry to new heights. There are 7.7 million second homes in the United States and 7% of households in the U.S. own one.

Why SkyRun

SkyRun not only provides all the tools you'll need to run a successful vacation rental business but also saves you time and hassle to get you quickly up and running with a profitable portfolio of properties. How does SkyRun do it?

• SkyRun provides a professional, easy-to-use hosted website where you load your properties. From your websites, guests can book direct, which will drive higher profitability versus relying on third-party booking sites (which lower your commission).
• You'll get a backend system to run everything, including tracking all reservations, charging credit cards to your merchant account, running owner accounting/statements, tracking work orders, running cleaning and management reports, and more.
• Homeowners appreciate having a user-friendly owner portal where they can track and make their reservations, and view past statements/tax info.
• You'll get your own location owner portal where you have access to all SkyRun documents and information. Each franchisee also has their individual area of the portal to store their documents. 
• SkyRun has strong connections to a large network of wholesalers, who are others that work to book your properties for you, like Airbnb and Vrbo.
• SkyRun provides expertise on how to improve your marketing to owners and guests, including how to rank high on google and how to get listed on other booking websites like Orbitz and Expedia (worldwide).
