It is an amazing concept with a corporate team that needs a massive revamp
The concept of being the "Hilton" of vacation rentals is huge. It will be the way to grab market share in an industry where the largest company only hold 1% of it.
The corporate team does not understand how to organize and execute this vision. There is a poor corporate culture of "we don't have time" and bad communication. The departments are stove-piped and disjointed without a leader to coordinate them cross-functionally. There is a lack of accountability and an abundance of defensiveness
NoNegativeDisapprovesLots of potential left on the table
The concept is incredible. There is an opportunity to revolutionize vacation rental travel similar to how brands like Hilton and Marriot do it. By building an excellent brand and creating a rewards program partnered with Credit Cards, we can make it easy for guests to want to stay with us. The local operation / ownership provides a key opportunity for creating an incredible guest experience. This can be the perfect balance of the resources of a national brand and the feel of a mom and pop shop style business.
The corporate leadership and team is lagging significantly. There needs to be significant material change to get the franchise back on track

The business has potential but the management team does not understand the problem they should be solving.
The inconsistencies with grand welcome and services offered. Corporate does not understand the our core business model or theirs. They are quick to make brush decisions and often are not on the same page. The interactions between the franchisees and franchisor are hostile, and the franchisor is never held accountable for their mistakes or missed deadlines, leaving the franchisees with the bill and clean up, whether it is guest-related or owner-related. Guest service is a broken system; employees are corporate and will mislead and withhold information.
