Front Desk Services
Throughout Whistler most Phase I Strata properties have quite a variety of vacation rentals being operated by individuals and several different rental managers within each. Some have front desks operated by a rental manager who only service some of the units, some have ceased operating their front desk and some operate inconsistent hours through a business occupant of the front desk strata lot and do not service guests/tenants or all unit owners of the property.
Phase II properties should have a single operator at their front desk who are obliged to service all unit owners regardless of their how their unit is marketed.
