Greater Portland · Cumberland & York Counties

Co-hosting that knows the coast from Cumberland to York.

Salt & Cedar runs short-term rentals along the southern Maine coast — onboarding, guest messaging, cleaning coordination and turnovers, handled by someone who works this shoreline every week.

How it works

The route from first call to first turnover.

Four stops along the way. Take the whole route, or step on at the one you actually need.

  1. 1

    Onboarding & listing setup

    We get the listing set up properly: the write-up, house rules, guest instructions, pricing approach and calendar — so the first booking starts on the right foot.

  2. 2

    Full co-hosting

    Day-to-day running of your listing: guest messages, calendar and pricing management, screening requests, and handling the things that need someone local.

  3. 3

    Guest services & cleaning

    Cleaning and guest services coordinated between stays, so the turnaround happens without a phone call landing on you.

  4. 4

    Turnover management

    Between every stay: cleaning scheduled, linens and supplies tracked, and the space reset and checked before the next arrival.

Rates

Rates, in plain numbers.

No tiers buried in a PDF. These are the starting rates — the final number depends on your property and how much you want handled.

Service area

Greater Portland — Cumberland & York Counties.

We work one stretch of coast, from the top of Cumberland County down through York. That's the whole point: the person answering your guest messages knows the road to the property, the cleaning crew on it, and what a Saturday turnover looks like in July.

Just outside the two counties? Mention it on the call and we'll tell you straight.

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

Ready before the door code goes out
What does a co-host actually do?

Everything between a guest booking and the next clean: guest messages, calendar and pricing, screening requests, cleaning coordination and turnovers. You keep ownership and the final say.

Do I keep control of my listing?

Yes. It stays your listing, your property and your calendar. We work inside it, and you can see what we're doing at any point.

How does the 18% work?

Full co-hosting starts at 18%. The exact number depends on the property and how much you want handled — we go through it on the 15-minute call, before anything is agreed.

Can you just handle turnovers?

Yes. Turnover management is $65 per turn, and guest services and cleaning coordination start at $175 a month. Plenty of owners start with one piece and add more later.

How quickly can we start?

Onboarding and listing setup comes first — a one-time $475. Timing depends on your calendar and how ready the property is, so we'll talk it through on the call.

Do you work outside Cumberland and York Counties?

Those two counties are the home patch. If you're just over the line, mention it on the call and we'll tell you straight.
