Full-Service Vacation Rental Management

Your property. Our priority.

We manage the rentals, the guests, and the details — owners stay in control of their property, their money, and who manages it. Blue Granite Experiences takes on a limited number of new management homes in each market, which keeps the team hands-on with property care, guest experience, content, and performance.

The Owner’s Standard

Three promises that matter

No long-term contracts.

Leave with 30 days’ written notice and no cancellation penalty. The work, not a lock-in, is what should keep an owner with Blue Granite.

No third-party service markups. Ever.

Outside vendor services are passed through at actual cost, with the original invoices included in the owner’s statement. If an undisclosed markup is found, Blue Granite refunds twice the markup.

Live in 7 days after home readiness.

Once your documented home-readiness sign-off is complete, we’ll make your listing live and bookable within 7 calendar days — or, if we miss that deadline for a reason within our control, we’ll waive our 25% management fee for the first calendar month with qualifying completed paid stays. Eligibility and documented exclusions are set out in the written management agreement.

One straightforward management rate

Based on completed stays, after nightly discounts and before booking-channel fees. No percentage charged on cleaning, lodging taxes, refundable deposits, or pass-through service expenses.

No onboarding fee. No portal fee.

There’s no fee to get started and no separate charge for owner portal access.

Photography, on us

Qualifying listings receive Blue Granite-paid professional photography, aerial imagery where feasible, and floor plans when existing materials don’t meet marketing standards — existing strong visuals are used as-is. No reimbursement is sought for Blue Granite-paid photography if an owner leaves.

Before you sign

Two ways to get a free property review

For properties that fit our management scope, pick the review that matches your situation. It’s yours to keep whether or not you hire Blue Granite.

If you self-manage

Listing Opportunity Review

We look at your listing’s photos, positioning, rates, open calendar dates, reviews, and channel mix, then hand you three to five practical opportunities.

If you already have a manager

Fee & Markup Check

Share a few recent owner statements. We identify unclear charges and questions worth asking — a read of what’s visible, not an allegation about your current manager.

Who’s behind Blue Granite

Hospitality is in our blood.

We’re Keegan and Sean. Before Blue Granite, that meant working in kitchens and personally hosting thousands of guests. That same hands-on standard carries into every property we manage, including the ones we operate ourselves — we manage every property the way we’d want our own managed.

It’s also why we only take on a limited number of new management homes in each market: it keeps us personally involved with every property we manage.

Common questions

A few things owners ask first

What does Blue Granite Experiences charge?: A flat 25% of gross nightly rental revenue on completed stays. No percentage on cleaning, lodging taxes, refundable deposits, or pass-through vendor expenses.
Are there onboarding or software fees?: No. There’s no onboarding fee and no separate fee for owner portal access.
What if an owner wants to stop working with Blue Granite?: Leave with 30 days’ written notice and no cancellation penalty. Blue Granite provides a cooperative transition of future reservations and property-specific records and marketing materials to the owner or their new manager, with no new management commission on stays after service ends — subject to each booking platform’s own rules, since some platforms don’t allow moving reservations between host accounts.
How does an owner know vendor costs aren’t marked up?: Every third-party service charge is passed through at actual cost, with the original invoice included in the owner’s statement. If an undisclosed markup is found, Blue Granite refunds twice the markup.
Can an owner still use their own property?: Yes. Owners can block available dates for personal use with no owner-use booking fee. Any required cleaning for that stay remains a separate, disclosed cost.
When and how does an owner get paid?: Direct deposit is targeted by the 10th of each month for the prior month’s completed stays, subject to cleared funds and reconciliation. Owners also have their own Hostaway login for their calendar and statements.
Who approves repairs?: The standard non-emergency approval limit is $500 (a property-specific amount can be set together). Emergencies follow an agreed response policy.
Who owns the Airbnb listing?: The owner does. Our standard is to keep the listing in the owner’s own Airbnb account, with Blue Granite managing it through the owner’s authorization — the listing and its reviews stay tied to the owner’s account. Existing guest obligations and each platform’s own rules apply, and not every reservation can move between host accounts.
