Weekly Visits
A 12-month lease can hide damage for a year. We inspect your home after every checkout—often multiple times a week. We catch issues immediately, keeping your principal residence in showroom condition rather than slowly depreciating.

Who We Are
YOUR LOCAL PARTNERS IN HOSPITALITY
Vancouver Island is more than where we work. It’s our home. We’re Kris and Rob, the founders of Rest Coast. We built this boutique agency on a simple conviction: property ownership should be effortless and guest stays should be iconic.
By combining cinema-grade marketing with tech-forward operations, we bridge the gap between high-yield investment and local hospitality. With a little oversight from Gertie (Chief Morale Officer) and Emmett (Head of Security), we handle the details so you can enjoy the rewards of a top-performing destination.

Frequently asked questions
Who handles the cleaning and turnovers?
We partner exclusively with professional cleaning companies. Rest Coast handles the hiring, scheduling, and quality validation. We act as your eyes and ears on-site, ensuring every turnover meets our high hospitality standards before the next guest arrives.
Do I need to provide my own photos?
No. One of our core advantages is our extensive investment in professional-grade media hardware. We combine high-end photography with AI-powered image optimization to ensure your property looks better than anything else on the map, commanding higher nightly rates and superior search rankings.
Can I still use my home for myself or my family?
Absolutely. It is your home and your calendar. Unlike traditional rental models, you have total flexibility to block off dates for personal use or family visits whenever you choose. We work around your schedule.
How do you navigate BC’s short-term rental laws?
We specialize in compliant STR operations. We focus on principal residences—helping owners coordinate rentals for their entire home (within provincial limits) or for secondary suites and carriage homes while they reside in the primary unit.
Is short-term rental safer than a long-term tenant?
In our experience, yes. With STR, professional eyes are on your home weekly. Guests are screened and reviewed by the community, and platforms like Airbnb offer robust damage protection. Your property is maintained in "show-home" condition year-round.
How do you handle routine maintenance or repairs?
We don't just wait for something to break. We conduct regular walkthroughs of your property to ensure everything is in top shape. If a repair is needed, we coordinate with trusted local tradespeople to get it fixed quickly, keeping your home guest-ready at all times.
Do I lose control over my property decisions?
Not at all. You maintain final say on everything from nightly pricing to house rules and photography. We act as your expert guides and co-hosts, using professional software like OwnerRez to streamline the process while you keep the keys to the kingdom.
What happens if there is an emergency at 2 AM?
That is exactly why we are here. As your local host representatives, we are the first point of contact for guests. Whether it's a lockout, a noise complaint, or a maintenance issue, we handle it immediately so you don't have to.
How do you prevent parties and disruptive guests?
We prioritize the peace of your neighborhood. Through platform guest screening and the use of professional tools like OwnerRez, we ensure that only high-quality, reviewed guests stay in your home. We maintain a strict no-party policy to protect your property and your neighbors.
How do I track how my property is performing?
Transparency is key to our partnership. Using professional-grade software, we provide you with clear, detailed reporting on your occupancy rates and revenue. You’ll have a full view of your success, making everything from performance tracking to tax season simple.
What happens if a guest causes damage?
Safety is our priority. We leverage the host damage protection offered by platforms like Airbnb (AirCover), and we coordinate with you to ensure your home has the proper short-term rental insurance coverage for total peace of mind.
Are you a licensed property management company?
Rest Coast is a boutique hospitality and short-term rental coordination service. We are not licensed for long-term property management under the Real Estate Services Act.
