ZenBreak Vacation Rentals FAQ for Homeowners

Having travelled the world and lived in many countries where they have owned multiple properties. Our founders were always frustrated by the struggle and the amount of work they faced to rent their properties. When they did it on their own, the headaches to have to manage many calendars was unbearable. When they hired Vacation Rental Companies, they felt like they hired a robot to manage their properties. It is then that they decided to enter the market and bring one special element to the equation: the Human Factor. ZenBreak is born from the desire to provide outstanding direct service coupled with amazing technology. At ZenBreak, we are big fans of technology as it helps reduce errors and increase efficiency. However we also believe in the human touch. Any time our owners have a problem or a question, they are one phone call away to talk to one of our agents. We understand that each vacation property is different, and we threat each of them as if they were our own. The majority of companies will charge 30–50% of an owner’s rental income in exchange for providing a “full-service” management solution. Our personal approach to vacation rental management comes with an industry-low booking fee of just 15%.

Our goal is to deliver the maximum income to our owners for their rental properties. Here’s what to expect from ZenBreak:

ZenBreak is a vacation rental property manager, and companies like AirBnb and booking.com are listing sites. We also provide a listing service where we always offer the best online price. Don’t worry, we absorb the difference with the other listing websites. We also help you book your home while other sites are just a place where you can advertise your property to be rented. We actually partner with sites like those (around 50+ in total) to market your house to the widest audience possible.
