You’ve probably noticed that there’s no shortage of vacation rental managers out there. National companies with slick apps. Localish outfits with flashy promises. But just because someone says they’ll “take care of it all” doesn’t mean they’ll take care of you.
At Cottage Connection, we believe in doing things differently. We’ve been managing homes in Midcoast Maine since 1993, and we’ve learned a thing or two about what really matters: personal service, quality over quantity, and relationships built to last.
Experience You Can Count On
Between our small team, we have over 75 years of combined industry experience. We know what works in this market and, just as importantly, what doesn’t. That means:
- We don’t chase unrealistic income projections pulled from other states.
- We don’t pack your calendar with short stays that wear your home down.
- We don’t hide fees in your end-of-season statement.
We do believe in honest conversations, thoughtful guest screening, and long-term care for the homes in our program.
A More Personal Approach
When you work with Cottage Connection, you’re not just a name on a spreadsheet. We know your home. We know your goals. And we’re here when you need us; by phone, by text, by email, and in person.
We’re not a call center. We’re not a chatbot. We’re real people who live and work right here in Midcoast Maine, and we treat your home as if it were our own.
No Surprises, Just Support
We charge a flat setup fee up front because the hours we spend preparing your home, coordinating with vendors, writing listings, photographing your space, and setting you up for success matter.
Other companies skip that step, but often make up the cost later with vague service charges or other add-ons. That’s not our way.
We also:
- Conduct safety evaluations and inspections regularly
- Communicate openly about guest feedback and home needs
- Use professional photography to help your home shine
- Maintain a homeowner portal for easy access to real-time info
- Send regular newsletters and updates
The Difference Is Clear
We’re proud to have the best reputation in the region, not just because we’ve been here the longest, but because we do the work the right way. Carefully. Thoughtfully. Consistently.
If you’re looking for a manager who will protect your home, delight your guests, and be there for the long haul, let’s talk.
We’re Cottage Connection. Real people. Right here. Ready when you are.
