Housekeeping and Quality Specialist

5 Star Co-Host is a luxury vacation rental management company built on the South Shore of Massachusetts - and we're growing fast. We manage a curated portfolio of high-end waterfront homes across Scituate and the South Shore, and we treat every property like it's our own. Our housekeeping team is the backbone of everything we do. We're not a faceless agency farming out gigs - we're a small, tight-knit operation where every person on the ground is known, valued, and invested in. We communicate clearly, pay fairly, provide everything you need to do your job well, and we're building something here that has real runway. If you want flexible work in beautiful homes with a team that actually has it together, you've found it.

This position reports directly to our Lead Quality and Housekeeper, who is on the ground with you and your primary point of contact for scheduling, property instructions, and day-to-day support.

As a Vacation Rental Housekeeper, your work revolves around guest turnovers - the window between one guest checking out and the next checking in. Turnovers can fall on any day of the week depending on the booking calendar, so flexibility is essential. The good news: we run a tight operation. You'll have your schedule at least 7 days out, and in most cases you'll have visibility well beyond that. No last-minute surprises, no chasing down your assignments.

Working hours fall within a 9am-4pm window. Most turnovers take 3-4 hours per property, and on days with multiple homes you may move between properties back-to-back. You won't have a fixed shift - your day is shaped by the booking schedule - but you'll always know what's coming well in advance.

This is flexible, independent work for someone who is self-directed, detail-driven, and takes real pride in leaving a home genuinely guest-ready.

• Comfortable using a smartphone for checklist submissions, photo uploads, and Slack communication
