Vacation Station has been

Full Service Property Management
Thank you for your interest in Vacation Station's rental program.
Selecting the best vacation rental management company is a very important decision.
A wise choice will provide you with years of enjoyment, maximum financial returns
and peace of mind. Choosing a company that is not service oriented, lacks focus,
is disorganized, and has a poor marketing plan may jeopardize your valuable
real estate investment and cause the loss of thousands of dollars in revenue
as well as create unnecessary expenses. We appreciate your consideration of
Vacation Station as your property management company. Please don't hesitate
to call or stop by our office. We're happy to provide you with a free property
analysis and a home owner information package. See what current owners have
to say about our program in the "Owner Testimonials" section to follow.
Unmatched
Financial Returns.
No management company in Incline Village out performs our average
annual gross revenue per unit. According to market share results by the Reno/Sparks
Convention Authority (room tax authority), Vacation Station captures over 20%
of the vacation rental market share in Incline Village/Crystal Bay. Since we
are the second largest lodging provider in Incline Village, Vacation Station
also books a major percentage of the total vacation rental revenue. With an
average annual sales growth exceeding 10%, and some years up to 27%, property
owners on our program receive excellent financial returns on their investment.
Guest
Satisfaction
Vacation Station makes every effort to ensure that our guests'
expectations are consistently exceeded. We accurately represent our properties
to our guests and help them select properties that fit their requirements. We
also furnish them with the confidence that, no matter what unit they choose,
they will check into a clean, comfortable, well-maintained unit. We immediately
respond to any needs or concerns, while providing friendly professional service.
According to our statistics, 65% of our rental revenue is from repeat guests
and word-of-mouth referrals. Our comment card data indicates that over 99% of
our guests would recommend Vacation Station to a friend, and many say they already
have. The staff at Vacation Station is proud of these accomplishments as they
show that by providing the best possible vacation experience, our guests consistently
return year after year.
National
Marketing Program
Extensive and consistent marketing is a key component to obtaining
continued growth, high occupancy rates and rental revenue. No other vacation
rental company in Incline Village spends as much per unit to market their properties.
We utilize the most effective marketing sources and techniques available. By
identifying our customers and using demographics to effectively target them,
we reach millions of potential guests and generate thousands of calls per month.
Our marketing program utilizes many forms of media including: Ads placed in
major national and northern California newspapers reaching 8,138,769 readers
per issue, advertisements in major national magazines such as VIA that reach
5,160,123 readers monthly, the Hotel Travel Index (an international resource
for travel agents) used by 83,005 agents per issue (many of whom repeatedly
book their clients in our properties), seasonal travel publications, distribution
of approximately 10,000 property listing brochures per year that describe and
showcase our rental properties, regional reservation centers such as Incline
Village/Crystal Bay - Go Tahoe Central Reservations and the RSCVA Central Reservations,
local brochure distribution,
a large backlit monument sign adjacent to the entrance of the Hyatt Regency,
creating hundreds of thousands of impressions each year, local newspaper display
ads reaching 36,720 readers per issue, trade and membership affiliation directory
listings, ski area brochure lodging listings, many referrals from local real
estate agencies, corporate executive retreats (i.e., Volkswagen of America
and
Capcure, Inc., etc.), the Hyatt Regency and special event planners. For many
years Vacation Station has been refining and expanding a successful marketing
program which ensures that your vacation rental produces the highest possible
revenue, occupancy and upscale clientele.
Internet
The internet has become a critical marketing resource for reaching
potential guests globally. As a cutting edge company, Vacation Station's website,
vacationstation.com provides guests with extensive and up-to-date information,
professionally photographed units and the resources to help plan the perfect
Lake Tahoe vacation. Our website enables millions of potential guests to conveniently
view your property and streamline the decision making and booking process.
Guest
Comment Cards
Included in each guest arrival package is a comment card. Each
month the completed cards are compiled and reviewed by the entire staff. Any
deficiencies are noted and promptly corrected. The cards are then filed by property
and available for homeowner review. Guest comment cards continue to be an important
resource for improving your property and our services.
In-House
Housekeeping
Vacation Station is the only Lake Tahoe vacation rental firm to
have its own in-house housekeeping company. Housekeeping is the single greatest
obstacle faced by all vacation rental companies. Often vacation rentals are
inadequately cleaned and maintained after each booking and gradually the cumulative
effect of such poor follow up can jeopardize your valuable real estate investment.
Housekeeping subcontractors are profit oriented, are spread between various
clients and their employees lack hands-on training and supervision. The only
way we have found to obtain the high level of cleanliness, presentation and
maintenance that we require was to start our own company dedicated solely to
our rental properties. Our passion and goal is to achieve high guest and property
owner satisfaction. We accomplish this through immaculately clean properties,
presentation, use of high quality linens and towels, maintenance, stocking and
a well-organized, highly trained and supervised field staff. We have our own
laundry facility and our staff uses only company cleaning supplies and equipment.
Profit is not our primary concern. Your property will never look so good!
Unique
Guest Benefits
Vacation Station strives to make each of our guests' Lake Tahoe
experience a special one. We believe that each vacation rental should have everything
the guest needs, including our unique personalized touches. When the guest arrives,
the porch light is on and the property is at a comfortable temperature. A custom
in-room guest directory welcomes the guest and answers any questions they may
have. Our guest arrival package is full of useful brochures, coupons and local
guidebooks. The bathrooms are equipped with elegant Glen Eden amenity baskets
and large, beautifully arranged towels, Lake Tahoe designer hand and body soaps,
lotion, shampoo and a generous supply of toilet paper and facial tissue. Beds
are made up with high quality linens and are artistically arranged. The kitchen
is supplied with fresh ground regular and decaf coffee, paper towels, dish soap,
detergent, extra trash bags, a scrubber sponge and light bulbs. In the fireplace
is a convenient duraflame log for instant mountain atmosphere. We provide everything
for the perfect Lake Tahoe vacation.

in Vacation Rentals

Station started in the emerging vacation rental management business. Unlike
many real estate companies who handle rentals on the side, we have always specialized
in the vacation and long-term rental business. Another key to our success is
that we exclusively represent high quality and well-maintained properties. Our
use of innovative systems, cutting edge technology and our dedication to detail,
honesty and integrity has made us the largest property management company and
has earned Vacation Station a long-standing reputation as Incline Village's
premier vacation rental company.

different areas of property management such as reservations, owner and customer
relations, accounting, marketing, housekeeping and maintenance, while effectively
working as a team. We are proud of our staffs' longevity and dedication to excellent

Personalized
Homeowner Service
Our goal at Vacation Station is to provide you with responsive,
professional management services. We strive to build long-term working relationships
with our homeowners by tailoring our services to meet your individual needs
and objectives. Our service is based on being reliable, responsible and consistent
so that you can rest assured your interests are being looked after.
Monthly
Statements
We provide detailed and
accurate monthly statements prepared by our Certified Management Accountant.
These include rental activity and income, itemized expenses, occupancy statistics
and a year-to-date profit and loss. Statements and checks are mailed on the
first business day of each month along with a copy of our newsletter. We offer
a bill paying service that pays expenses such as mortgage, utilities, insurance,
property taxes, homeowner dues and maintenance. Payments can also be directly
deposited into your bank account. Vacation Station provides you with up-to-date
information and services that make your vacation rental ownership convenient
and hassle free.
Computer
Network
Vacation Station utilizes
state-of-the-art computers and property management software specifically designed
and customized for our business. The software helps us efficiently manage every
detail, including reservations, availability, rates, accounting, housekeeping,
maintenance, reporting, marketing statistics and forecasting. This efficiency
enables us to increase our sales volume while maintaining a high level of service,
which translates into increased owner revenue.
Homeowner
Newsletter
Each month you will receive
our newsletter, the "Scoop", with your statement. Its focus is to communicate
to our homeowners the direction of the company, changes in terms and policies,
marketing, technology, tourist trends, tips on increasing rental income, ways
to upgrade and maintain your property, etc. Also included is the owner calendar
to facilitate reserving owner property use. To ensure that homeowners receive
the best possible service, we provide an owner comment card to help communicate
any questions, comments, concerns and testimonials you may have. We look forward
to hearing from you.
Long-Term
Leases
Vacation Station also offers
mid and long-term lease management. This service is beneficial to property owners
who want consistent income for a specified period of time. Term leases are also
a great way to continue an income stream during slow seasons. The commission
rate is lower for six month or more leases so you can net higher returns. Our
long-term department is solely dedicated to managing long-term properties. This
department handles all details of the rental including credit and reference
checks, lease preparation, legal aspects, move-in and out inspections, cleaning,
rent collection, maintenance and advertising of the property. We take care of
all the details so that you have a hassle free experience and peace of mind.
Homewatch
Vacation Station has a service
specifically designed for absentee owners who would like their property inspected
each week to assure no problems arise such as frozen pipes, vandalism, failed
heating systems, leaks, etc. We will also turn the heat up on the day you arrive.
We meet service men, issue keys and confirm that work is completed before payment
to subcontractors is made. Vacation Station acts as your professional liaison
for your investment property. When you arrive there will be no unexpected surprises.
We appreciate your consideration of Vacation Station as your property
management company. Please don't hesitate to call or stop by our office. We
would be happy to provide you with a free property analysis and a homeowner
information package.
Sincerely,
THE STAFF AT VACATION STATION
