If I could give zero stars I would. Please don't use them. There is no direct point of contact. I'm still missing payments from guest that stayed in February its now April. They will pull money out your account for cleaning fees when there are no guest. Extremely disorganized company. That will never give you a straight forward answer when you call they always have to call you back lol..a joke!!!

I don’t know how this company ever had good reviews. I have been in commercial property management for 15+ years and am fairly patient and understanding of some issues. But, I honestly can’t think of one thing that this company has done well. Their host is not even a super host. He has a horrific 4.4 score. They don’t escalate or let you know when your guest or cleaner report things (a leak) until a week later. The cleaners are awful and stole hundreds of dollars of sheets, towels and blankets. They have standard reviews of their guests which are inaccurate. They get information incorrect and ask for the same info over and over. We have been bleeding money with our STR since hiring them. I wish we could sue them for breach of contract and all the money they have lost us due to low bookings.

STAY AWAY from this extremely disorganized management company. I made the mistake of trusting them and signing up for short-term rental property management. They were consistently messing up major aspects like mixing up our smart lock with someone else's, not able to handle guest complaints in an efficient and caring manner which resulted in bad reviews, I've had to double / triple repeat myself for anything, and many many other issues. Their website states that they charge 15% but that is definitely not correct. I signed up with them wanting a completely hands-off quality management experience but I ended up having to do more work than I would have managing the house on my own because I was having to fix their mistakes and double checking their work constantly. Plus, they kept my funds from me during my last month and instead used it as credit towards that month's commission. Completely disappointed with this company. I also really did not like how AI driven everything was - their communication methods were very artificial feeling and I wasn't sure if I was talking to a bot or an actual person. I've had guests who also complained about this. All in all, I would stay far far away from them.

This property management company is no more than a company that takes a significant slice of your revenue stream for barely any work. All they do is outsource to 1099 workers via mobile gig platforms, resulting in unreliable quality and poor communication. My experience was doomed from the outset. Onboarding was interrupted by my contact's vacation. The first guest arrived and had such a terrible experience they complained to Airbnb and got a partial refund - the difference was assessed as a penalty to me and not Awning for their mismanagement. I didn't learn about this until three months later due to delayed invoicing. Issues continued to mount over the short relationship I had with Awning until I terminated the agreement. Guests continued to leave poor reviews. They actually said things like "great house but terrible manager" in the listing. This resulted in a significant revenue loss for me, as all of this happened during the peak summer season. Today, I was deducted the full balance of disputed invoices which I did not approve. Their invoicing is very confusing, and their team never properly answered questions I had. Companies cannot deduct directly from checking accounts like this without proper approval, but Awning does it anyway. Since ending the Awning relationship, the listing has had 15 five-star reviews and no negative ones. It has been less stress to just manage on own.

Awning was supposed to give me a quote and also more information about how my property would perform. Their representative never followed through or gave me a call back. His excuse was computer issues after this review, weeks later. However he had my contact information over email. Their representative was also looking at my LinkedIn and personal social media only after this review. Their management apologized that the reason is because they can’t work with every property. That is absolutely fine but I never heard back since their representatives told me he would look into all the information I gave with my properties. I would not recommend this company based on customer service and responsiveness. Be cautious of what information you share.
