About Us

Making Hosting Simple, Profitable, and Worry-Free

Cohost Advantage helps property owners across Western Massachusetts and New England enjoy the rewards of short-term rentals—without the stress.

What We Do

We are a dedicated cohosting and property management team specializing in Airbnb and vacation rentals. From guest communication and turnovers to pricing and listing optimization, we handle the details so you can enjoy more time—and more income. Whether you live nearby or out of state, we make hosting effortless and professional.

Our Story

After cohosting more than ten properties on Airbnb for the past six years, we have learned how challenging it can be for some property owners to keep up with guest messages, cleanings, and pricing. We also stay in Airbnbs and Vrbos during our own travels, giving us firsthand insight into what guests appreciate most and where hosts often fall short.

As a family-owned and operated business, we built Cohost Advantage to give owners a trusted, local partner who understands both the guest experience and the host’s goals. Our hands-on approach, clear communication, and proven systems mean your property is in expert hands.
