Rental Flexibility and Management
Lionsback Resort offers on-site rental and property management services for their casitas. As a vacation homeowner, you have the option to rent through our on-site rental management program, opt for a third-party rental and property management company of your choosing, or even rent your casita independently.
Wondering about the flexibility of renting out your vacation home at Lionsback Resort? The good news is you have options. Lionsback Resort operates under the City of Moab’s Sensitive Area Resort Zoning (SAR), permitting overnight accommodations. This designation is especially valuable since the City of Moab has since removed “overnight accommodations” from their zoning code. Lionsback Resort, however, was approved prior to this change, securing its status as a grandfathered property for overnight accommodations under the old zoning code.
For those considering short-term rentals, certain rules, and restrictions do apply, so a thorough review of the Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Reservation of Easements for Lionsback Resort (CC&Rs) is recommended.
It’s worth noting that should you choose to rent your casita, you will need to adhere to guidelines and restrictions established in the CC&Rs, which include maintaining the “Standard Package” – a set of required furnishings and housewares designated by the rental and property management program that helps maintain the consistency and vision for the resort.
Even if you’re not planning to rent your vacation home, you can still make sure your casita property is taken care of while you’re away. Lionsback Resort Management offers typical property management services on a fee basis to all casita owners, ensuring your home is well-cared for whether you rent it out or not. You can rest assured your Casita is safe and secure even when you are not there.
