About the role
We’re looking for a hands-on, dependable Property Caretaker to help us keep a portfolio of vacation homes in the greater San Luis Obispo area guest-ready, well-maintained, and meeting Company standards. You’ll serve as the responsible point of contact for a designated set of homes, work directly with owners and guests to resolve issues, and partner with regional leadership and Local Operations Managers to deliver an exceptional experience at every stay. This role blends light maintenance and field work with strong communication and ownership of your portfolio. You thrive when no two days look the same, you’re comfortable troubleshooting on the fly, and you take pride in homes that look and run beautifully.
What you'll bring
- Prior experience in property management, vacation rentals, hospitality operations, facilities, or a hands-on maintenance role.
- Comfort performing light maintenance — appliance and Wi-Fi/cable troubleshooting, minor plumbing, basic HVAC checks, and general home repairs.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Technical comfort across laptops, tablets, and mobile devices
- ability to learn property management and ticketing systems quickly.
- Excellent time management and the ability to switch tasks frequently without losing momentum.
- Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation for travel between properties.
- Prior housekeeping or vacation rental experience.
- Familiarity with the greater San Luis Obispo market and local vendor network.
- Trade or technical training (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) is a plus.
- Owner- and guest-first mindset with genuine pride in property condition.
- Strong attention to detail and follow-through.
