All properties are now operating in Guesty, improving consistency across pricing, calendars, reporting, and distribution as we prepare for a busy summer season. A unified inbox allows our team to manage all guest communication in one place, helping improve response times and reduce communication gaps across channels.
Guest messaging and operations continue to be supported by Breezeway, now with enhanced integrations and functionality. These improvements help create a smoother guest experience from booking through stay while strengthening housekeeping and maintenance coordination behind the scenes during peak travel periods. |

Did you know MBG’s Airbnb account holds Superhost status with an impressive 4.91 overall rating across more than 5,300 reviews? These strong performance metrics play a key role in boosting guest confidence and conversions for your property, and we’re proud to consistently deliver at this high level. Even more impactful, over 68% of MBG’s properties are marked as Airbnb Guest Favorites, reflecting a consistently high standard of guest satisfaction across stays. This designation helps properties stand out in search results, increase booking confidence, and reinforce the quality guests can expect.
Vrbo has introduced an important update to its Premier Host program, shifting from account-level recognition to a unit-level designation. This means each individual property must now independently meet defined performance standards—including guest reviews, booking acceptance, cancellation rates, and stay volume—to earn and maintain Premier Host status.
Manzanita Beach Getaway already has qualifying properties earning Premier Host status, with additional listings being awarded month over month as performance thresholds are met. Our team is actively focused on growing the number of awarded properties through continued improvements in guest experience, response times, operational consistency, and review performance. Because qualifications are reviewed on an ongoing basis, Premier Host status will continue to evolve across the portfolio as each home’s performance is evaluated independently. |
| 🌐Marketing |
|
We’re focused on bringing more guests directly to your property and expanding our overall reach.
We stay connected with past guests through twice-monthly emails and keep our brands active on social media with regular posts featuring homes and local experiences. At the same time, we’re investing in targeted advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and Google to reach travelers actively planning their trips. Behind the scenes, we’re also improving our search visibility so more guests can find and book directly with us. |
|
Thank you for being part of Manzanita Beach Getaway. We appreciate your continued partnership and look forward to a strong season ahead.
As we head into Memorial Day weekend, we also want to take a moment to honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country. We wish you and your family a safe and meaningful holiday weekend. |

Owners Update Payout Reminder:
Hi Partner,
We wanted to provide a quick update regarding your April owner statement and payout.
While finalizing April statements, we experienced a delay in posting a small number of maintenance-related charges. Rather than delay owner payouts while those items are finalized and reconciled, we have decided to process payments now to avoid unnecessarily tying up funds.
Any remaining April maintenance charges that were not included on this statement will be reflected on a future statement once fully reviewed and posted. We appreciate your patience as we complete these charges!
If you have any questions after reviewing your statement, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
Thank you again for your continued partnership with Manzanita Beach Getaway.
Warm regards,
Danielle Johnson
General Manager

❗❗Action Required: Add Your Payout Details❗❗ For security reasons, we cannot transfer ACH data from prior systems. To ensure timely and accurate payouts, please log in to your Owner Portal and add your payout information if you haven’t already. We’ve created a simple step-by-step guide below to walk you through the process, or complete the ACH form here and send to Debbie Utter at dutter@treklv.com.

Reservation Sync Timing You may notice a delay between when a guest reservation is made and when it appears on the website.
Owner StatementsAt this time, historical owner statements, including year-end statements, are not available in the new Owner Portal. We will be adding documents to access via the portal soon. If you need a copy of your prior statements, you can access the original Owner Portal here, or contact Debbie at dutter@treklv.com.
If you are booking an owner stay with arrival within 48 hours, please contact the office directly so we can ensure your home is properly prepared.

February Owner Update:
Dear Partner,
Next week, we will officially transition Manzanita Beach Getaway to our new property management system, Guesty.
This upgrade is an exciting step forward in strengthening our technology, improving operational efficiency, and positioning our team for scalable growth.
Guesty provides enhanced functionality across guest experience, marketing, distribution, and operations. This will allow us to better manage your property across channels, optimize visibility, streamline communication, and support long-term revenue growth for your home.
This transition also introduces a significantly more robust Owner Portal. The portal will roll out in stages to ensure a smooth and thoughtful implementation.
Phase One:
- View owner bookings in real time.
- Create and edit owner reservations.
- Create and manage guest-of-owner reservations.
- View your upcoming stays.
Additional features and expanded reporting capabilities will follow in upcoming phases as we continue refining the experience. We will guide you as we move forward.
The implementation of Guesty furthers our commitment to delivering a better overall experience for both guests and homeowners.
As always, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We look forward to this next chapter together.
Warm regards,

Owner Update - Intro to James:
Hi Partner,
Following Danielle’s recent message, I wanted to personally introduce myself on behalf of Trek Leisure Vacations. We’re grateful for the warm welcome and truly honored to partner with Danielle and the Manzanita Beach Getaway team as we begin this next chapter together.
We understand that any transition, especially one involving something as important as your vacation home, can naturally raise questions. I want to assure you that what makes MBG special is not changing. Danielle remains actively involved, and the same trusted local team you know will continue managing day-to-day operations, owner communication, property care, and guest experiences with the personal attention you value.
Our role at Trek is intentionally supportive. We’re here to strengthen the excellent foundation already in place by providing additional resources, experience, and tools to help the MBG team do what they already do so well, even better.
Together, our combined leadership brings decades of experience in vacation rental management, hospitality, and operations. We’ve spent years working alongside on-the-ground teams, navigating growth thoughtfully, and balancing performance with care for both homes and guests. That perspective guides everything we do.
What You Can Expect Going Forward
Continuity First
Your relationship with the Manzanita Beach Getaway team remains the same. The people who know your home and this community best will continue to be your primary point of contact.
Additional Support & Resources
We’re adding operational, financial, and strategic support to strengthen stability and create room for thoughtful improvements, always with respect for what has worked well and with your best interests in mind.
Expanded Marketing & Visibility
Our broader marketing expertise and industry connections will support increased visibility across key channels, helping create more booking opportunities while protecting the integrity of the brand and the guest experience.
Strong Communication & Transparency
Clear, timely communication remains a priority. As we evaluate tools and technology enhancements, we’ll do so carefully and intentionally, adopting changes only when they truly add value for owners and guests alike. You’ll always know what’s happening with your property, and your questions and input are welcome.
We’re genuinely excited to support Danielle, the MBG team, and the Manzanita community. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in Manzanita Beach Getaway. We’re committed to honoring that trust and earning it every day moving forward.
Sincerely,
James Clark Signature-1
