We host for you.
Our professional Airbnb hosting services save you time, elevate guests’ experience and maximize your earning potential – a win / win for all.
Our story.
Hi, I’m Doug (and that’s my mom). I‘m a seventeen year resident of Asbury Park and founder of ShoreBnb Hosts. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with this community and the shore lifestyle where I found myself regularly hosting family and friends. They encouraged me to convert part of my two-family home into an Airbnb rental and I gave it a try. I learned that the income was impressive but the process of hosting was quite demanding. I earned a perfect 5 ⭐️ overall rating - but questioned how this could be balanced with work and other responsibilities. That’s when I realized a service like ShoreBnb Hosts is needed. So as Asbury’s top rated Super Host, I now offer experienced hosting service to my friends and neighbors.
Our purpose.
Home rentals are a great way to earn additional income and short term listings through Airbnb can be lucrative. The downside: it’s a lot of work. Airbnb hosting requires a bigger time and effort commitment than many realize. Balancing this with professional, family and social obligations can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in:
Our services.
Standard package includes the following:
-
We’re the hosting experts but you’re the property owner and you’re in charge. Before we can engage in any hosting activities we must first meet to discuss your objectives and preferences as well as understand any potential restrictions. We’ll want to gather as much information as possible and ensure that we are all starting off on the same page.
-
As we all know, pricing at the Jersey Shore is highly seasonal. But rates should also vary by the month, day of the week, holidays, special events and sometimes even weather forecasts. We stay on top of these variables and adjust pricing accordingly so as to maximize your revenue.
-
One of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks for Airbnb hosts is responding to the many inquiries from prospective guests. “Are the dates we want available?” “I know the rules say NO pets, but can I bring my well behaved pet?” “Could you offer a discount?” The list goes on and it’s important for hosts to reply to every single one of these inquiries on a timely basis. Not only is it key to winning the guest’s business, but Airbnb tracks response times and penalizes late responders. We’ll take care of these communications so you can instead do literally anything else!
-
Sure, you can leave your keys in a lock box but nothing replaces a warm personal greeting upon arrival. We will ensure that your guests feel welcomed, provide a short house tour and point out any special amenities or features you may offer. We find this goes a long way toward boosting guest ratings and reviews. Plus, this personal touch also tends to encourage more respectful behavior towards your home.
-
Sometimes guests have questions, requests or concerns about the rental after they’ve checked-in. We encourage them to reach out to us in these instances and we’ll do our best to address their needs. If it’s an issue we cannot resolve then we’ll get in touch with you on the guest’s behalf.
-
The cleanliness of your rental is absolutely essential to any successful Airbnb. It’s also critical that housekeepers arrive when called upon for a rapid turnover between guests. We work with an excellent and reliable cleaning service (I trust them with my own home!) and we will take care of scheduling their arrival to ensure that your rental is always ready for your next scheduled guests.
Deluxe service options:
-
In addition to all of the services above, ShoreBnb can provide guests with an “elevated” experience which will ensure that your rental truly stands out. A complimentary bottle of wine, for example. Cold sodas waiting in the fridge. A local restaurant/activities guide. A beach bag with sunscreen and towels. Decorating for birthdays /anniversaries.
Why do this? Because these are precisely the extra touches which can make your rental - and someone’s vacation - truly special. You’ll be able to charge higher rates and further boost your income while attracting more discerning guests who are typically gentler to your home. Once again, its a win -win!
-
We’re talking about replacing bath towels, shower curtains, bed sheets and pillowcases, for example. We’ll ensure houseplants are cared for and refreshed periodically so that your rental is always looking its best. (Furniture, carpet, bed comforters, larger items not included)
-
This is where the Airbnb hosting experience all begins, and it’s no small task. It requires high quality photos, meticulous attention to detail and a good helping of marketing savvy. We actually recommend you attempt this on your own since some key decisions (i.e. house rules and hosting policies) are best made by the property owner. However, if you need us to take the lead then we are here for you.
