Raised Oak Island vacation home at sunset, managed by Salty Girls

A partnership, not a contract

We work alongside our homeowners.

Every homeowner needs something a little different. Maybe it's better communication, stronger property care, more creative marketing, or simply a better experience than you've had elsewhere. We start by learning what matters most to you.

We're small on purpose. Growth for us isn't about managing the most homes; it's about managing homes well, with hands-on local oversight and a direct line to the owner, never a call center.

“You bring the home. We bring the systems, marketing, and guest experience.”

Optional add-on

The Salty Girls Linen Program

Hotel-quality linens, handled for you.

Opt in to our in-house linen program and skip buying, storing and replacing linens. It's one of those little details guests notice, and it gives your home that boutique feel.

  • Hotel-quality sheets and luxury bath towels
  • Every bed freshly made by our professional cleaning team before each arrival
  • Fresh bath towels folded and placed on each bed
  • A signature Salty Girls blue-and-white striped beach towel for every guest

The guest experience

Details guests remember

Thoughtful touches lead to better reviews, and better reviews lead to more bookings.

  • A welcome basket with custom Salty Girls coozies and local treats
  • A custom house guide, sent before arrival and printed in the home
  • Boutique signage: Wi-Fi, house rules, checkout and emergency info
  • Thoughtfully stocked home essentials for a comfortable, worry-free stay

Transparent pricing

No nickel-and-diming

Every home is different, so pricing depends on your home's size, sleeping capacity and the services you choose. Your fees are simply:

  • The agreed-upon management commission
  • Any optional services you select, such as our Linen Program, per-reservation stocking and monthly trash service

That's it. No administrative fees, no surprise charges, and no markups on vendor invoices. We'll walk through everything with you up front.

How it works

Getting started is simple

  1. Let's talk

    We'll discuss your rental goals, provide a personalized rental revenue projection, and walk through your property to determine the best strategy for your home.

  2. Property setup

    Our professional photographer captures photography and videography, and we create and optimize your property's vacation rental listing.

  3. Owner setup

    Complete your owner information form, set up ACH payouts, and gain access to the Hostaway Owner App.

  4. Go live!

    Your listing launches with dynamic pricing, and you can follow every booking and monitor your property's performance through your own owner portal.

We got it.

Thank you! Our local team will review your property and follow up personally.

Homeowner FAQ

Good questions

How involved can I be as an owner?

As involved as you'd like. Some owners prefer a fully hands-off experience, others like staying connected. We tailor communication to you.

Can I block dates for personal use?

Absolutely. Let us know the dates, or block them yourself from your owner portal.

How are payouts handled?

Monthly by ACH, with a detailed statement showing income, expenses and reservations for the period.

How is maintenance handled?

We coordinate vendors and our in-house maintenance team. Invoices are paid directly by you, never marked up by us, so costs stay transparent and lower.

Do I need to provide linens?

Each home needs two full linen sets and towels for maximum occupancy, or you can opt into our Linen Program and we'll take care of it.

Do you require guest security deposits?

It's your choice. Some owners require a refundable deposit, others rely on platform protections and guest agreements. We'll decide together based on your home.

What happens if a guest damages something?

We document and manage damage claims through the booking platforms and guest agreements, notify you right away, and help coordinate the fix.

Your coast. Our care.
