STR Management

Austin Airbnb & Vacation Rental Management

STR Management is a locally owned, full-service short-term rental management company caring for 200+ vacation rental homes in Austin, Lakeway, Lake Travis, Westlake, and Volente. We have managed Austin short-term rentals since 2014, and guests book our homes on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Marriott Homes & Villas, Hopper, Google Vacation Rentals, and directly at AustinVacay.com, our own booking platform.

We handle the day-to-day for owners: dynamic pricing, guest communication and screening, in-house cleaning and linens, maintenance, City of Austin STR license renewals, hotel occupancy taxes, professional photography and a 3D tour, and monthly owner reporting. Our management fee is 20% of gross rental revenue (25% for homes we expect to earn under $35,000 a year), with no upfront fees (see pricing).
