phinstotheleft is on a distinguished road
Seems to me that you would want to satisfy your renters and make sure that the condo is ready to make their vacation memorable for the right reasons. And to be available to answer questions and concerns of your renters. If you have a cleanliness issue in your unit then you have a vendor issue that needs to be addressed. You can't just charge fees and not be accountable. Owners are quick to withhold a deposit and less apt to make a renter whole.

You are obviously dipping from both sides of the well by allowing Oaseas to rent your unit and market it yourself. Don't hide behind Oaseas. There should be no difference in service, both of you are renting out a unit at the Shores of Panama. Oh sure, they may offer a free round of Goofy Golf, but that's not a $400 difference. Let's remember, an amenity fee is included in Oaseas charges and what the owner charges.

Oaseas was managing last year. We'll see what a difference a year makes. I'm curious to find out if I can drink a beverage with my feet in the pool and if I still have to be out at the pool at 6:30 am to get a lounge chair? (I know the answer to that question) Oaseas markets that "magnificent" pool deck pretty hard. It's unfortunate that there are only enough lounges for four or five floors of twenty-three at the resort.

Anyway, you sound like you are a caring owner and not one that owns twenty units at every resort looking to make a quick buck.

I hope my stay is enjoyable. Either way it goes, I will post a comment for the others on this site.
