Blue Maple made all the difference in my rental’s success

Since purchasing the property in August 2020, Zvi and Alex have seen consistent returns that exceed their expectations. Even as the market has normalized from the peak years of 2021-2022, the property continues to perform as a viable investment quarter after quarter.

We invested about $15,000 in flooring and furniture upgrades, hoping to at least cover our costs. While winter can be slow, since partnering with Blue Maple we’ve seen significant revenue growth. Last month, we even cleared the mortgage by over $1,000—turning what used to be a break-even situation into real profit, which was incredibly exciting for us.

“Out of all our rental properties, this one is, in the best way possible, the least thought about—least stressed about.”

From Overwhelmed to Thriving: Blue Maple Made It Easy

Having a local, on-site presence is key—owners see the value in having someone nearby to handle issues quickly and keep the property in top shape. Our bookings and monthly revenue have increased, making it a solid investment we truly enjoy, with promising long-term growth.

Every time we went up, there was something broken… We were not being able to enjoy our time. We were fixing things. And we felt very bad about the guests that had experienced not optimal working areas in the house. 

While we’ve always been proud of our short-term rental, managing it used to be a daily stress—constantly messaging guests and fixing issues. Now, with Blue Maple handling the day-to-day, we’re still involved but without the constant effort. 

With Blue Maple, I get 5-star reviews without overspending

Before Blue Maple, when we had a negative review, it was mainly about cleanliness or bed sheets… Now reviews cite the cleanliness of the house. That’s very important.

We’ve been very pleased with the increase in positive reviews specifically praising the cleanliness of the house, which was a common issue before partnering with Blue Maple. They’ve helped improve the overall guest experience by addressing those concerns. 

Month-to-month expenses… have gone down. I was just buying the first thing that came up on Amazon… I wasn’t price researching. By switching to smarter, bulk purchasing of supplies like toilet paper and shampoo—rather than buying the first items available online—our monthly expenses have decreased, leading to higher profitability. 

Modern vacation rental management.
