Client Testimonials
Fellow Homeowners in Galveston, TX
I would highly recommend NewCentury. We could not ask for a more professional hands-on service. They go beyond what it takes keeping our property rented and maintained. We could not be happier with the service they provide.
Todd H. Galveston, Texas
About five years ago we gave NewCentury Vacation Homes a try. Our rental income is much higher than with any of our predecessors. They are very responsive to our questions and completely transparent in the financial statements.
Wayne & Phyllis P. Galveston, Texas
New Century has managed our vacation rental for several years and we couldn’t be happier! Not only do they manage all day to day operations and guests issues, but they put the guest first every time. I highly recommend New Century Vacation Homes.

About Us
NewCentury was founded to create a better way to manage short-term rental homes. We leverage the latest technology to maximize the efficiency of our operations and we put those tools in the hands of professionals dedicated to providing the highest level of service. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. Our homes are kept in top condition, our guests are happy, and our homeowners have a partner dedicated to their success. At NewCentury, homeowners get exceptional service while paying one of the lowest commission rates in the industry.
Exceptional service starts with taking care of the home. Vacation homes are a large financial investment. These homes may also have significant sentimental value and can serve as a getaway destination for the owner and their family. Our top priority is to preserve the condition of the home and its contents. Detailed inspections allow us to identify and address any issues that may appear before they become more serious. We have a vested interest in ensuring your home remains in top form. We also have the resources available on the island to quickly and effectively resolve any maintenance items.
The success of the properties under our management depends in large part on public guest feedback. Five-star guest reviews assure and motivate future potential guests to book their vacation with us. This feeds the high occupancy levels of our properties. Earning these positive reviews is the result of an effortless guest experience. Each of our guests can expect to arrive to a clean home that is exactly as advertised. If anything unexpected comes up during their stay, we move quickly to get it resolved. At NewCentury, we truly enjoy providing amazing experiences for our guests. Our dedication to service is reflected in the guest reviews for our properties.
The short-term rental industry has experienced many ups and downs. Demand and supply have remained in flux since the 2020 pandemic making it a challenge to predict occupancy levels and set optimal pricing levels. Today it is more important than ever to have a market expert on your side. NewCentury specializes in beachfront homes in Galveston, Texas. With years of experience in this market both before and after the pandemic, we know how to market and price these homes. Applying our market knowledge and leveraging the latest technology, we can achieve optimal pricing and occupancy for your home resulting in significantly higher returns. Many companies promise to help you earn more. We deliver on that promise.
At NewCentury our clients earn more, pay less, and get exceptional service. If you need a company that will take great care of your home and your guests while looking out for your best interests, we would love to be of service to you.
