Why should I let my cottage with Shoreline Whitby?
Shoreline Whitby is the leading holiday letting agency specialising in Whitby and we have a great reputation. We can help you make the most of letting your holiday cottage and realising your holiday rental income.
Shoreline Whitby was set up in 1999 to provide a complete service to both holidaymakers and cottage owners alike in the local Whitby area. With fantastic properties and outstanding customer service it’s no surprise that 96% of our guests want to rebook. So, whether you’re new to the Whitby holiday rental market or a seasoned investor, we’re serious about realising a great return for you.
“Whether purchasing a property solely as an investment or to use as a second home with attached rental income, the principles remain the same. At Shoreline we recognise everyone’s needs differ and that you and your property offer a unique set of challenges in order to be successful. Relevant marketing and superior personal service for both property owners and their guests are at the heart of everything we do”.
David Haycox, Managing Director
Commercially Minded
Our team is highly experienced and commercially minded, and we will help you get the most out of buying property in Whitby and letting it to the holiday market. We will use our detailed competitor and market analysis to advise regularly how together we can maximise occupancy and your profit.
We can advise you on the whole process, from recommending which property to purchase, to forecasting your rental income. We also have a fantastic Owner Portal that provides analytics such as booking sources, values and profit, customer feedback as well as useful accounting tools including an HMRC summary
You Choose How You Want to Work with Us
Our owners want different services depending on their situation, so we offer a service flexible to your needs. We understand that some owners prefer to manage and maintain their property themselves and only need Shoreline to act as a marketing and booking agent.
However, many of our owners live a fair distance from their holiday rental property and want the peace of mind that someone can take care of the full running of it for them. We can give you that peace of mind. We have a brilliant local team who will take care of the everyday running of your holiday property as well as all its housekeeping and maintenance needs. From changing a light bulb to dealing with a broken boiler, we can take care of it. All this leaves you free from any guest contact and able to relax knowing that an experienced and conscientious business is looking after your property asset. We can also help to ensure your property is compliant with the ever-widening Government regulations.
We offer a competitive commission rate. We will take a percentage of your rental income, but this is typically lower than what other agencies charge.

The Best Whitby Cottages
Shoreline Whitby is the only collection of exclusively luxury cottages in Whitby, so your property will be marketed alongside those of other like-minded owners, to discerning guests who are looking for the best cottages, apartments and holiday homes in the Scarborough district.
Our Portfolio Isn’t too Big
Having a small portfolio means we know every property inside out. It means your property is not one on a huge list – it will stand out and be seen. Guests often ask a lot of questions before booking so our team will visit your property to ensure they are fully informed and represent your property accurately.
Get the Bookings You Want
Our occupancy rate is typically higher than other agencies. This means that your property is more likely to be booked, which will maximise your rental income.
We have a large proportion of returning guests and our mailing list is growing all the time. It’s a big promise but our results speak for themselves: Shoreline provides an average of 38 bookings at each property every year – not many holiday letting agents can say that!
Marketing Your Whitby Holiday Let
We will promote your property to our extensive network of guests on our website and through a comprehensive plan of marketing activity to drive peak and off-peak occupancy.
We write up your property description using a specialist copywriter and ensure it has a strong Google ranking value. We highlight key search features to make it easier for guests to find exactly what they want. We also use a professional photographer for all your property imagery and virtual 360 tours.
Taking care of our guests
We provide unrivalled customer service to our guests. Again, because we’re a small company, we deliver a personal service, and we get to know our regular customers well. Our housekeeping and maintenance team works from 9am to 7pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and are always ready to help if a guest has lost their key or needs a sink unblocking.
We also have our emergency out-of-hours cover that’s in operation from 7pm to 9am, 7 days a week, 365 days a year so our guests have peace of mind that they’ll be looked after no matter the time of day or night.
Our Working Hours
Our office is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm but we reply to quotations, enquiries and booking requests way past the time we close as well as over the weekend. Our maintenance team are available from 9am to 7pm, 7 days a week all year round (including Christmas Day!) – that’s just another way Shoreline stands out from the crowd.
