  • We manage:

    Houses and apartments for short-term rentals.

    Villas

    Hotels.

    Vertical and horizontal properties.

  • We use smart extensions to collect our monthly commission.

    We offer a dynamic fee structure, with a management percentage varying between 0% and 30% per month, adjusting month to month within this range. Our goal is to maximize your earnings, adapting to the season and demand to ensure you get the highest possible return on your property.

  • The commission is the consideration of 0-30% of the gross monthly revenue generated by the property. THE OWNER will receive 80% of the gross monthly revenue, less the costs associated with the operation of the property, which will be detailed month by month in an invoice.

    If cameras are installed during our management (which is very likely), who owns the camera?

    The camera, being part of the property's equipment, remains an asset of the owner. For this reason, said investment is naturally assumed by the owner.

    If the property needs maintenance repairs, whether corrective or preventive, who is responsible for the expenses? Vancasta supervises and coordinates the necessary repairs to ensure the good condition of the property. However, the costs of the repairs are the responsibility of the owner, since said improvements directly benefit his assets, at least in commission/management contracts, a very different case from Sublease contracts where Vancasta assumes said expenses.

  • The cleaning cost is covered by the guest, since this value is included as part of the total rate at the time of booking. It does not matter if said value can be public or hidden at the time of booking, it is still assumed by the guest as part of the experience to be received.

  • In a commission-based agreement, Vancasta only manages the property on behalf of the owner, so operating costs are the owner's responsibility. In a sublease agreement, Vancasta operates the property directly and assumes the expenses, as it generates income as the primary tenant.

  • Our service covers the entire administration: from managing reservations and communicating with guests to coordinating cleaning and maintenance services.

  • Booking management and communication with guests to ensure a smooth experience.

    Coordination of cleaning and maintenance services (preventive and corrective) to keep the property in optimal condition.

    Supervision of inventories and supplies needed for each stay, such as bed linen, towels and toiletries.

    Creation and/or optimization of your listing: From the presentation of the property with professional photography, advice and implementation of interiors, intelligent revenue management, to operational processes.

    Management of reviews and guest feedback to continuously improve service and maintain high quality standards.

  • We coordinate cleaning and maintenance services, although we recommend that the owner provide 1-2 reliable contacts for each service, and it is expected that the property will be delivered without any impacts related to preventive and/or corrective maintenance, nor cleaning and painting.

  • Mathematical analyses are performed based on the results of intelligent applications that use algorithms to analyze this data.

  • We conduct regular inspections and collect feedback data from guests in their reviews to ensure the property is kept in top condition.

  • Yes, as a property owner you have control over the availability of your property. You can block dates when you prefer not to host guests.

  • We manage reviews proactively, responding to feedback and taking steps to continually improve the service, always focused on maintaining a high satisfaction rating. In addition, it is one of the sources we use for data purposes and operational improvements.

  • We can advise you on the process to achieve the required quality standards, ensuring an optimal experience for guests whether the management is yours or ours. Click here to find out more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Operating Philosophy for Short-Term Rental Properties

Vancasta’s Short-Term Property Management Philosophy

Our approach is based on the standardization of good service, also known as ‘‘Excellence in hospitality’’ which consists of: Personalized service, High standards, Attention to detail, Feedback and continuous improvement, this means that at Vancasta, we differentiate ourselves from other hotel, short-term rental and vacation apartment operators because we believe in a realistic and consistent standard of good service. We understand that perfect service does not exist; On the contrary, it is nothing more than a utopia, to affirm the contrary would be to ignore the WIDE diversity of expectations of each guest, and even human nature itself, and clearly demonstrates a lack of knowledge of said diversity and lack of exposure to customer service. However, this should NEVER be a limitation to delivering a sustained and highly demanding quality service and we also want to have owners who believe in said standard. This means that, regardless of each guest's individual perception, the standard we offer is solid and consistent. Contact us.

At Vancasta, we offer comprehensive property management, focusing on optimizing every aspect of your property through a service that ranges from accounting to the management of horizontal property lease contracts. In an ever-changing market, our vacation rental and homeowners' association solutions not only comply with the law and regulations of the Ministry of Housing, but also adapt to the demands of tourism and investment in Colombia and Mexico. Through our software and mobile application, we provide real-time access to your property information for informed decision-making.

Vancasta - Admission Standards for Managing Your Properties

At Vancasta, we are focused on offering quality stays. We firmly believe that there are basic and fundamental standards to follow in the stay and experience of guests, regardless of the luxury level of the property.

If your property has problems such as pests, lack of maintenance or painting, neglected garden areas, unsafe locations, inadequate staff or lacks basic cleaning supplies, we ask that you do not contact us, as these aspects violate our quality policies.

We are a brand, being part of our portfolio carries our last name, and we want to be well represented. Anyone can be part of the portfolio that we manage as long as they maintain our operating philosophy, the standard of excellence. This standard can be offered in any property, whether it is luxury or a simple property.
