PRO TIP: Smart locks, backup plans & the power of recordings

Want to avoid stressful late night (or any time) messages and calls about property access issues and appliance/electronic challenges from guests? Take the time to record and document exactly how your smart lock works since it might be a completely new experience to someone else - never assume guests know everything that you know. This same recommendation applies to every electronic device or appliance that a guest has to interact with - we’re talking everything from an electric fireplace and Roku TV to the oven, stove, and washer/dryer setup. Once you’ve created your set of recordings, store them in a YouTube playlist or in a central location like a Google document where you can grab a link quickly to share with a guest in need. We’re committed to finding ways that reduce potential stressors and anxiety-driving factors, while ensuring that everything in a property is streamlined and as simple and convenient as possible.

How to prepare your Michigan rental for peak summer season!

Summer is the most important booking window for many short-term rentals in Michigan. The highest-performing properties aren’t scrambling when summer arrives, they’re ready well before peak demand hits.

BEFORE PEAK SEASON:
*Inspect the roof, gutters/downspouts, grading/drainage, decks, railings, walkways, exterior lighting, hose bibs, outdoor furniture, grill, and any exterior paint or trim damage
*Service the HVAC, replace filters, confirm proper cooling, check ceiling fans, test remotes, plumbing, and appliances
*Schedule maintenance for septic systems and wells
*Confirm safety items like smoke detectors and fire extinguishers
*Address small fixes that could become bigger problems mid-season
*Mosquito control starts with eliminating standing water in gutters, buckets, toys, planters, tarps, birdbaths, pool covers, and low spots in the yard
*Schedule regular pest control treatments
*If your property is near lake access provide beach flag information and where guests can check beach/wave conditions

REFRESH YOUR LISTING BEFORE DEMAND PEAKS:
*Update photos to reflect seasonal outdoor spaces
*Highlight summer-specific amenities like grills, patios, fire pits, pools, lake access, sunsets, family gathering areas, string lights
*Review your description to ensure clarity and accuracy, especially regarding heated pools, air conditioning, rules for outdoor fire use, quiet hours
*Confirm house rules and parking details are easy to understand

SET PRICING AND MINIMUM STAYS STRATEGICALLY:
Summer demand in Michigan can fill calendars quickly, but pricing too conservatively can leave significant revenue on the table. At the same time, overly aggressive pricing can lead to gaps that are difficult to recover later.

A thoughtful summer pricing strategy includes:
*Reviewing local demand patterns and events
*Setting minimum stays to reduce gap nights and increase revenue
*Adjusting rates proactively rather than reactively

At Mango Vacay LLC, Bruce and Liz are a husband-and-wife team passionate about providing a more refined, hands-off approach to Airbnb and vacation rental management. 🌴

We built Mango Vacay for property owners who want more than basic oversight — they want a trusted partner focused on exceptional guest experiences, thoughtful property presentation, and strong long-term performance.

Our work is centered on helping owners step back from the day-to-day while we manage the details with care, professionalism, and intention. The result is a well-cared-for home, stronger revenue potential, and the kind of five-star guest experience that builds a lasting reputation.

We are best aligned with owners who are ready to entrust their property to a professional management partner, want to increase revenue, and value the level of presentation, upkeep, and guest care required to consistently earn five-star reviews.

If that sounds like the kind of partnership you’ve been looking for, we’d love to connect.
