STR Management Company Calgary

Q: Do I need a licence for a short-term rental in Calgary?

Yes. The City of Calgary requires a short-term rental business licence, and the tier depends on your listing count. We handle licensing and compliance for the properties we manage.

Vacation rental management, done for you

One unit. Every platform. Fully run.

A short-term rental is not a listing you post once. It is an operation that runs every day. Price it wrong for a weekend and you leave hundreds on the table. Miss a checkout clean and you buy a bad review.

We run the whole thing. Your unit goes on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, priced daily and cleaned on schedule. You furnish once, you own the furniture, and you stay hands-off. Across 32 Calgary units we hold an 88%+ booking rate at a 4.75 average across 1,774 reviews.

The system

The four-part engine: research, list, produce, distribute.

Every paid unit runs the same four steps. Skip one and revenue leaks. This is where 90% of self-managed owners break the chain.

1

Research

We model your unit's earning range and set the nightly strategy by season, event, and demand.

2

List

Staging, photography, and copy built to rank. The first three photos do the heavy lifting.

3

Produce

Guests, cleaning, and maintenance run to a premium standard on every single stay.

4

Distribute

Listed and synced across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com so nights fill from every channel.

Cleaning and maintenance

Guest-ready on every turnover.

Cleanliness is the single biggest driver of your rating, and your rating drives your ranking. Every checkout triggers a professional turnover with fresh linens and restocking, scheduled around bookings so the unit is never caught unready.

Owner reporting

One number, every month, no spreadsheets.

You should not have to reconcile a booking platform to know what you made. We do that for you.

Clear monthly report

Booked nights, occupancy, gross revenue, and your 75% payout laid out plainly. You see exactly what the unit did and what it earned.

One payment to you

Your share lands in your account each month. No chasing platforms, no waiting on multiple payouts across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.

Full transparency

Revenue and occupancy are open to you at any time. When we win you win, so the numbers stay on the table.

Location drives the number

Which Calgary neighbourhoods perform.

Not every address earns the same. Short-term demand in Calgary concentrates where guests want to walk to what they came for.

Downtown

Business travellers, event crowds, and walkable access to the core. Steady weekday demand that most residential neighbourhoods never see.

Beltline

Nightlife, restaurants, and Stampede-season surges. Strong weekend and event pricing, with a young guest base that books last minute.

Near the river and venues

Units close to the Bow River pathways, the Peace Bridge, and major event venues pull leisure guests and premium nightly rates.

Answers

Short-term rental management, explained.

What does a short-term rental management company do?

We run the full engine on your unit. Research and pricing, listing and distribution across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, guest communication, cleaning and turnovers, maintenance coordination, and monthly reporting. You furnish once and stay hands-off from there.

Which platforms do you list on?

Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, synced so the same night can never double book. Distribution across platforms fills nights that a single listing would miss, which is part of how we hold an 88%+ booking rate across 32 Calgary units.

How do you handle cleaning and maintenance?

Every checkout triggers a professional turnover with fresh linens and restocking, scheduled around bookings so the unit is always guest-ready. Maintenance is coordinated by us. You do not chase cleaners or trades, and the cost of coordination sits inside our 25%.

What reporting do owners get?

A clear monthly report showing booked nights, occupancy, gross revenue, and your 75% payout. One number lands in your account each month. No spreadsheets to reconcile and no guessing where the money went.

Do I need a licence for a short-term rental in Calgary?

Yes. The City of Calgary short-term rental licensing rules require a business licence, and the tier depends on your listing count. We handle licensing and compliance for the properties we manage.
