New England Vacation Rentals

What New England Vacation Rentals does

New England Vacation Rentals (legal entity NEVR Chatham Inc) is a privately held, locally owned vacation rental and property management company operating exclusively on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The company manages 328+ rental properties spanning approximately 15 Cape Cod towns, with sub-brands Seaside Cottages (46 individually owned cottages in South Yarmouth) and DunRoamin on Peter's Pond (four lakeside cottages in Sandwich). It serves both guest-facing demand (families, couples, luxury travelers, pet owners, wedding groups, and event travelers including 2026 FIFA World Cup attendees) and supply-side demand from property owners seeking full-service management.

The company's core technology stack is built on Streamline Vacation Rental Software, which powers property management, real-time online booking with a "Book It Now" feature, the Happy Stays guest mobile app, and an owner login portal. Guest experience is augmented by an Xplorie integration providing free activities during stays. Distribution is hybrid: direct booking via website, phone (508-432-0900 Chatham; 508-888-4998 Sandwich), and email, combined with marketplace listings on Airbnb, VRBO/HomeAway, and TripAdvisor. Marketing spans SEO, a blog and area guides, email newsletter, and a broad organic social presence (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest).

NEVR monetizes through transaction-based commissions on vacation rental bookings and managed-service fees on property management contracts, with ancillary revenue from a $25/night pet fee. Pricing is property-specific (driven by size, location, amenities, and season), and peak season (mid-June to Labor Day) enforces 7-night Friday arrivals. The business claims more than three decades of industry experience and positions itself on local expertise, personal guest-specialist service, and a lowest-rate guarantee on direct bookings versus OTAs.
