Investing in a vacation rental on beautiful Vancouver Island is an exciting and lucrative opportunity. Imagine owning a vacation rental in a sought-after resort community, surrounded by ocean and mountain views, beaches, parks, and west coast nature. Plus, enjoy access to resort amenities like pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, and fitness centres.
For U.S. investors, managing a short-term or vacation rental from afar can feel overwhelming, especially when the rules and regulations constantly change. That’s where Lemon Tree Housekeeping comes in. Our expert team is highly trained on short-term rental bylaws both at the municipal and provincial level, and offers full setup and design services for owners who can’t be on-site to prepare their property for guests. As a trusted, locally owned company, we provide full-service vacation property management in Qualicum Beach, Nanaimo, and Victoria. From guest communication to professional cleaning and maintenance, we handle every detail, so you can enjoy the rewards of your investment without the stress.
Staying on top of BC’s strict short-term rental laws is one of the biggest challenges for both U.S. investors and local property owners. Many cities now require business licenses, approval letters, and proof of primary residence for Airbnb and Vrbo hosts. With years of experience in vacation rental management, Lemon Tree Housekeeping makes it easy to navigate these requirements. We stay up to date on regulation changes, taking the guesswork out of local rental rules so you can focus on enjoying your investment.
We assist our clients with obtaining the correct business licenses, property insurance, and ensure your property is registered as per the new provincial legislation. For investment condos at resorts, we have a strong understanding of the strata bylaws and the steps that must be taken to ensure compliance. Plus, our team offers valuable insight into the local market, helping you develop effective pricing strategies and advising on vacation home insurance.
Guests expect a spotless and well-maintained space when booking a vacation rental. Our Airbnb management team makes sure your property is in top shape between stays, giving guests a five-star experience. We do more than just basic cleaning—we handle full setup and design, deep cleaning, property management scheduling and overseeing services, and restocking of supplies, toiletries, and inventory. We also do inspection and damage reports to catch problems in a timely manner, keeping your property in great condition.
