How much does vacation rental management cost in Georgia?
Chādy's Georgia vacation rental and short-term rental management fee is 18–25% of gross rental revenue, depending on market and service selection. Mid-term rentals are 15–18% and long-term rentals are 10–12%. No hidden fees. 90-day commitment, then month-to-month — never long-term contracts.

How fast can my Georgia vacation rental go live?
Most Georgia properties launch within 2–4 weeks — professional photography, listing creation, dynamic pricing setup, city/county permit filing support, and distribution across 30+ platforms including Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com. Timeline varies by jurisdiction (Atlanta + Savannah tend to run longer than Blue Ridge and Tybee).
Does Chādy handle Georgia STR permits?
Yes. We manage the local short-term rental permit process end-to-end across every GA market we operate in — Atlanta STR license, Savannah STVR certificate, Tybee Island STR permit, Blue Ridge/Fannin County registration, Helen, Glynn County for St. Simons, and more. Initial application, zoning verification, annual renewal, and compliance updates handled for you.
Are short-term rentals legal in Georgia?
Yes, but rules are set city and county by city and county. Atlanta, Savannah, Tybee, Fannin County (Blue Ridge), Glynn County (St. Simons), and Helen each have their own permit, zoning, and density rules. Chādy validates eligibility before listing and handles the full permit process for each jurisdiction we operate in.
Do you also manage mid-term and long-term rentals?
Yes. While vacation rental management is our primary service (18–25%), we also manage mid-term rentals for corporate-relo and traveling professional stays (15–18%) and long-term 12-month leases (10–12%).
Do I still control my Georgia property?
Yes. Owners retain full ownership, set blackout dates, and can use the property personally at any time.
What's included in full-service Georgia vacation rental management?
Dynamic pricing, 30+ platform listings (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and more), 24/7 guest communication, hotel-quality cleaning, maintenance coordination, professional photography, city/county permit handling, GA DOR + local hotel-motel tax filings, and monthly owner reporting.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Chādy operates on a 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month.
How is Chādy different from national vacation rental management companies in Georgia?
Chādy is a boutique hospitality operator — not a national call center. Local boots-on-the-ground ops teams in every GA market we operate in, boutique property counts per manager, 90-day initial commitment (no 12–24 month lock-ins), 18–25% STR fees, and a 4.9-star average across 4,000+ guest reviews. Full-service management across a multi-state luxury portfolio — not a volume play.
What taxes do Georgia vacation rental hosts pay?
Every Georgia short-term rental host owes Georgia state sales tax, local-option sales tax, and a local hotel-motel excise tax on each booking (typically 5–8% depending on city/county). Chādy registers your property with the Georgia Department of Revenue and local tax authority, collects the taxes automatically through Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, and remits them on schedule — so you stay compliant and audit-ready.
Which Georgia markets have the highest vacation rental revenue?
St. Simons Island and Sea Island lead on luxury revenue thanks to Cloister-adjacent coastal demand. Savannah Historic District commands premium year-round ADR. Blue Ridge drives strong 4-BR hot-tub cabin revenue. Lake Oconee is a luxury lake + golf market, and Atlanta Buckhead/Midtown captures corporate and event demand. Best fit depends on bedroom count, guest segment, and local permit zoning — Chādy validates eligibility before listing.
What drives Georgia vacation rental demand year-round?
Georgia STR demand is market-specific. Savannah peaks at St. Patrick's Day + year-round tourism. Blue Ridge peaks in fall leaf season + summer river months. Coastal markets (Tybee, St. Simons) peak summer. Atlanta follows convention + sports + SEC football cycles. Athens is driven almost entirely by UGA football weekends. Chādy's dynamic pricing engine calibrates rates to each market's unique demand drivers in real time.
How do I switch Georgia property managers without losing bookings?
Switching Georgia property management companies is common and low-risk when handled correctly. Chādy runs a full transition: listing migration, review history transfer strategy, calendar handoff, guest communication continuity, and city/county permit re-registration if needed — completed end-to-end in under 30 days. Existing bookings stay honored, your listing URL + review count is preserved where platform rules allow, and the new season launches on Chādy's dynamic pricing engine and 30+ OTA distribution.
Is Chādy an Airbnb Superhost?
Yes. Chādy operates as a Superhost across the Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida portfolio, maintaining a 4.9-star average across 4,000+ guest reviews.
