VRS291 - Preparing for a Long Hot Summer Of Vacation Rentals

We are two days away from the real start of our high season and as ever, kicking off with a bang – the Canada Day weekend. For many of our properties the rentals starting this weekend are the first of the season, and from here on they will be back-to-back. To get ready for the next 9 Saturdays of 150+ families checking in, we need to make sure we have all our ducks in a row, systems are prepped and someone will be on-hand to deal with any issues that might arise.
