STR Management is a full-service short-term and vacation rental management company serving Austin, Lakeway, Lake Travis, Westlake, and Volente since 2014. We manage 200+ homes and have paid owners more than $14 million. A dedicated revenue manager runs daily dynamic pricing, and our homes earned 8% more per available night than comparable homes run by other professional Austin managers in 2025 and 15% more so far in 2026, according to Key Data. Guests book our homes on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Marriott Homes & Villas, Hopper, Google Vacation Rentals, and our direct booking site, AustinVacay.com. Every owner gets a dedicated owner success manager, and our cleaners, handymen, and field operations staff are employees, not contractors. We also manage medium-term and long-term rentals, though short-term rentals are our specialty.

Frequently Asked Questions

STR Management is a full-service vacation rental management company founded in 2014. We serve Austin, Lakeway, Lake Travis, Westlake, and Volente with our own team of employees, including in-house cleaners, handymen, and field operations staff, so turnovers, inspections, and on-the-ground issues are handled by people on our payroll.
Do you manage short-term, medium-term, and long-term rentals?
Yes. Short-term rentals are our specialty, and we also manage medium-term stays (30+ nights) and long-term rentals, so owners can shift strategy as demand changes.
What’s included in your full-service management?
Every owner gets a dedicated owner success manager. We include dynamic pricing run by a dedicated revenue manager; listings on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Marriott Homes & Villas, Hopper, Google Vacation Rentals, and our direct booking site, AustinVacay.com; 24/7 guest communication; in-house cleaning with an inspection with every clean; custom, high-quality linens; maintenance by our own handymen; smart lock integration; and clear owner reporting.
How do you maximize revenue and performance for owners?
A dedicated revenue manager tunes pricing daily for seasonality and Austin events, and we list each home on more booking channels than most managers.

Can you help with compliance, including local taxes and Austin requirements?
Yes. We handle your City of Austin short-term rental license and renewals, and we collect, remit, and report hotel occupancy taxes on every taxable booking, including direct bookings.
How much does STR Management charge?
Our management fee is 20% of rental revenue, or 25% for homes we estimate will earn under $35,000 a year, with no upfront fees. Our full pricing, including cleaning and linens, is published on the Pricing page of our website.
