SkyRun Vacation Rentals Confirms Franchise Deal to Enhance Galveston’s Short-Term Rental Market

Premier Property Management Brand Partners with Local Entrepreneur in Latest Franchise Deal

GALVESTON, TX (AUGUST 12, 2024) – SkyRun Vacation Rentals (SkyRun), a premier property management franchise in the vacation rental marketplace, has announced news of their latest franchise signing in Galveston, Texas. This deal follows the ambition of Beth Harp, a local mental health professional and entrepreneur, to give homeowners in the market access to a full-service management team, and travelers a more reliable and personalized vacation rental experience.

SkyRun will offer Galveston homeowners the power and backing of a national brand, including experienced industry support, cutting-edge rental technology, communications tools, marketing assistance, and more. All concentrated under local ownership to provide those homeowners and their guests with the most convenient, high-end service possible.

“When Hurricane Harvey hit Texas back in 2017, I opened my doors and offered my spare rooms to displaced families; offering them a home and a roof over their heads when the storm had taken theirs,” Beth shared. “It was an incredibly humbling experience. And now, I want to help other homeowners to welcome travelers, vacationers, and families in need with that same sense of home and safety. All while giving them the genuine Galveston experience!”

The evolution of Galveston’s vacation rental industry in the last several years has led more homeowners to seek professional property management partners like SkyRun to help advertise their homes on an increasing number of online booking channels, optimize pricing strategies to stay ahead of competition, and to help maximize the guest experience.

“SkyRun is taking root in more markets than ever before, as entrepreneurs increasingly realize the ability that professional property managements companies have in shaping the future of the vacation rental market,” said Cord Thomas, President of SkyRun Vacation Rentals. “Beth’s passion for the industry and the Galveston community will play a pivotal role in attracting homeowners to the brand and enhancing the areas lodging experience for countless travelers.”
