Fully managed, intentionally local. Listing setup and optimisation can be provided nationally; our full management service stays close to home so we can maintain the standard ourselves.
Owners stay in control
Dates, visibility and key decisions remain yours.
Standards before scale
We only take on homes we can manage properly.
Data with local judgement
Technology informs decisions; experience shapes them.
A record owners can examine
Performance is measured, not assumed.
We look at occupancy, ADR and RevPAR together. That helps us fill the right nights at the right price, rather than chasing occupancy or headline rates in isolation.
KEYDATA · 2026 ON-THE-BOOKS POSITION
Stronger occupancy is converting into stronger RevPAR.
The current portfolio snapshot sits ahead of the Direct (Ormesby) benchmark on adjusted paid occupancy and adjusted RevPAR. The portfolio ADR is lower, so the result is not being created by simply charging more per night.
Full calendar year 1 January–31 December 2026, as booked at 11 September 2026. Portfolio and benchmark definitions follow the supplied KeyData exports. A dated snapshot, not a revenue guarantee.
Airbnb performance for all listings, 1 January–10 September 2026; last updated 10 September 2026. Comparison wording follows Airbnb’s “similar listings” view.

ONE ACCOUNTABLE LOCAL OPERATION
The details are where management earns its fee.
Good hosting is not one big task. It is hundreds of small decisions made consistently—from the listing and nightly rate to the final check before a guest opens the door.
Position and price
Listing setup, photography direction, search-led copy, channel distribution and responsive pricing across Airbnb and Booking.com, with Vrbo available where appropriate.
Host every stay
Prompt guest communication, clear arrival information, local recommendations and practical support throughout the stay.
Reset to STR standard
Specialist changeovers, linen, presentation and quality checks from a team with deep cleaning experience—including more than 15 years for some team members.
Report and improve
Monthly visibility, review monitoring and data-led adjustments using Lodgify, Beyond and KeyData, interpreted through local operating experience.
READY FOR THE FIRST GUEST
We help you understand what the property needs.
The start should feel supported, not intimidating. We review the home with you, explain the practical and safety requirements, identify gaps and help coordinate the right specialists where needed.
Property readiness review
We look at presentation, sleep quality, equipment, maintenance resilience and whether the home can consistently meet guest expectations.
Clear compliance roadmap
We help organise the evidence and actions commonly needed before letting, including fire, electrical, gas and water-safety considerations where applicable, insurance and emergency information.
Operational setup
We create the listing, guest journey, house information, linen plan, changeover specification and reporting routine before opening the calendar.
The owner remains responsible for legal compliance; our role is to help make the requirements understandable and the operating plan practical.
OUR FIT STANDARD
We do not take on every property—and that is deliberate.
Guests trust the Norfolk Seaside Escapes name. Owners rely on us to protect their property. We therefore only accept homes where we believe the location, condition, investment plan and owner relationship allow us to deliver well.
- Within our local operating reach
- Capable of meeting a high guest-ready standard
- Maintained proactively, not reactively
- Owned by someone who values clarity and quality

- Non-urgent property costs discussed first

A BETTER FIT STARTS WITH AN HONEST CONVERSATION
Is your East Norfolk holiday home right for our managed portfolio?
Tell Colin where the property is, how it is currently used and what you want management to achieve. We will be straightforward about whether we are the right fit.
Useful answers Before we speak.
Do you manage properties anywhere in the UK?
Listing setup and optimisation can be delivered nationally. Full management is intentionally local to Scratby, Caister-on-Sea and Hemsby, with selected nearby East Norfolk coastal homes considered.
Which booking channels do you use?
Airbnb and Booking.com are the principal channels represented in our current performance evidence. Vrbo is available where it suits the property and audience, but we do not present it as a proven source of our current bookings.
Will you take on any holiday home?
No. We assess location, condition, guest appeal, operational resilience and the owner’s willingness to maintain the required standard. Selectivity protects guests, owners and the reputation attached to every listing.
Can I still use my property?
Yes. Owners retain calendar access and can block dates for personal use. We will explain any revenue impact so the decision remains informed and entirely yours.
What happens before the listing goes live?
We agree the property standard, work through readiness and safety requirements, set up operations and reporting, prepare the listing and create the guest communication journey before opening dates.
