I started managing vacation rentals as a side gig to my fulltime career. Over the years I have been able to design a standard for management like no other. When you hire Watchful Eye Caretaking & Property Management, LLC you hire experience. I didn't start this during Covid. I will be here after the novelty has worn off for the people that did. I am honest and upfront. I have worked hard to get where I am. The owners of properties I manage become like family. I get birth announcements, wedding invitations etc. If you want someone that can handle everything related to your short term rental give me a call. I will not manage properties that the owners want to manage and just have me available for guests and set up cleanings. WE ARE NOT A CLEANING SERVICE! I hire my own cleaners and train them and they only clean houses I manage so if its a cleaning service you are looking for I am not for you.

Great stay! Clean, quiet, private and beautiful. The property accommodated two couples and a service dog comfortably. Host communicated well and replied quickly. Will definitely be back again! Thank you Kim!

Kimberly's house was so wonderful! It looks like the house is newly renovated. Perfect everything, comfortable beds, great kitchen, couch was awesome. Location is lovely. It feels so remote but just outside of town. And a babbling brook to soothe the stress away! We used the fire-it and the bbq. Kimberly had wonderful communication throughout the whole process. Would book here again! Thank you!

Great house and in a beautiful setting! Close to store and town.

We really enjoyed our stay and found the house to be quite comfortable, homey, and well-organized. Additionally, it was just a few minutes walk to the stores in town but in a quiet location out in the country with a nearby brook providing soothing sounds that could be heard from the house.
