A short-term rental is a furnished living space that can be rented out for shorter periods of time compared to the regular annual rental lease. A short-term rental or vacation home is often considered an alternative to a hotel and usually poses far more amenities than a basic hotel room considering you have access to an entire property rather than just a room.
DTCM stands for Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing. DTCM is the principal regulatory authority of the tourism sector in Dubai. Vacation Homes companies such as us have to ensure we comply with all DTCM standards and licenses to operate.
Absolutely, as an Owner, you can still stay at your property while it is managed by us. We do request that you book as in advance as possible to confirm your dates considering the calendar of the property is open on several booking channels for Guests to book at any time. During the peak season of November to March, if you choose to stay at your property, we do require our management fees for the period of the booking. However, during the rest of the year, you can stay at your property, free of charge.
The Owner is still responsible to pay for all the utility bills and service charges associated with the building. However, if you need assistance to make the payments on your behalf, we do have this option available to you at no additional cost. We can make the payments for you through your accounts and simply adjust the payments from the monthly earnings.
You will receive your monthly statement and earnings by the 15th of the following month for the previous calendar month.
We can definitely manage properties that are already furnished. We would still require our team to add some final touches and additional inventory to make sure the property is up to DTCM standards. The final touches to your property will also ensure it is marketable for bookings on channels to Exclusive Links Vacation Homes standards.
If you would like to book with us directly, please call or WhatsApp us at (+971509520898) or email us at reservations@exclusive-links.com
We require the full payment of the booking amount at the time of the reservation.
As per the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), we require an Emirates ID or Passport copy of all guests staying at the property (including children) for security purposes. The IDs will also be provided in advance to receive clearance from the security at the property. Without this information, you will not be granted access to the property.
During the hours of 4 PM – 8 PM, we can provide an in-person check-in where a member of our team will be able to assist you with the check-in. After these hours, we do have a self-check-in option possible.
We will be able to let you know if early check in or late check out is possible 24 hours prior to your check in or check out due to operational changes. For early check in or late check out charges may apply.
We do provide a guest book in the property with lots of information about the property or surrounding areas. However, if you ever need further assistance, we are available 24/7 via call or WhatsApp on (+971509520898).
