“What’s your management fee?”
It’s one of the most important questions homeowners ask us. But to tell you the truth, Vacasa fees aren’t the same across North America—and that’s good news for you.
Although Vacasa manages homes in markets across North America, local teams and vacation rental experts are the heart of our company. And a part of being a truly local, full-service vacation rental manager is creating a fee that makes sense for your market in particular (not one 1,000 miles away).
So what are Vacasa fees in your neck of the woods? The best way to find out is to ask your local expert. Talk to us for both a personalized management fee proposal and an estimate of how much you could earn per year.
Our mission is simple: to make it easy, profitable, and enjoyable to own a vacation rental. So while Vacasa fees might not be the lowest on the market, our truly unique service can bring more value into every aspect of owning your home (without cutting corners, as lower-priced alternatives might).
So, our core services are covered by both a tailored management rate and guest fees—because why should you be nickel-and-dimed for the essentials? Our fees provide:
Vacasa was created for vacation home owners by a vacation home owner, so we know how important it is to rent hassle-free. But it’s just as crucial to maximize your property’s earning potential. And those earnings are likely to grow: Vacasa homeowners earn 20% more* on average in their second year with us than their first.
Vacasa fees are an investment in shared success—we only make money if you do. So, we pledge to go above and beyond to earn you more not only in the short-term, but in the long-term, too.
We’re focused on providing the highest possible revenue for our homeowners, while making every aspect of the vacation rental experience effortless. Here’s what’s included in the cost of our full-service management.

These fees help us create a smoother-than-smooth guest experience—and cover extra cleaning to keep your home in top condition.
To capture maximum revenue for every home, we also make our properties available through third-party channels (such as Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.), some of which charge an incremental fee to guests.
Vacasa was founded on the belief that every vacation rental owner deserves both professional home care and strong financial returns. So we make it easy for you to invest in vacation—see what's possible with the right partner on your side.
The best way to know for sure how much a manager will charge? Ask them. At Vacasa, we’d be happy to give you a quote and a run-down of all the essentials our comprehensive management covers (with no obligation on your end).
When shopping for vacation rental management, anticipate “you get what you pay for” to apply. If management rates seem surprisingly low, there’s a likelihood that the deficit is being made up for elsewhere, or the services are not comprehensive. Management rates may also vary by local market—the going rate for vacation rental management in Seattle might not be the same as it is in Miami.
While you can anticipate management rates of anywhere between 10% and 50% of your revenue, keep in mind that not all vacation rental managers have the same services—or charge for them in the same way.
The best way to make the most of your vacation home is by renting it to vacationers. And the simplest way to rent it is by trusting a full-service vacation rental manager (like Vacasa) to cover the booking, marketing, housekeeping, and more.
Some people enjoy doing the entire process themselves. But they’ll also be the first to tell you it’s a 24/7 job. So as you consider hiring a vacation rental manager, think about your lifestyle, your future plans, and your present obligations. Then, consider how those factors might impact your vacation rental goals.
Should you find that a full-service manager sounds like your best bet, connect with a local Vacasa expert to talk. They’ll show you how we can maximize your earnings while minimizing interruptions to your daily life—and give you an estimate of your home’s revenue potential.
Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer to the question “Which vacation rental manager has the lowest fees?” It’s like comparing apples and oranges: not all vacation rental managers provide the same services, or can deliver on tasks like marketing your home at the same level of success.
While you’ll find that most vacation rental managers charge between 10% and 50% of your revenue, the level of management, your profits, and the type of additional fees vary. Sometimes, paying a slightly higher management fee can mean better outcomes than hiring a marketing-only manager or a nickel-and-diming discount service.
So to find a reasonable management rate, it’s best to shop around and get a sense of what you need first before going with what at first glance seems to be the lowest fee.
