Monterey County Vacation Rental Alliance (MCVRA)

The Monterey County Vacation Rental Alliance (MCVRA) is a coalition of homeowners and property managers in Monterey County. We represent, support, and protect residential vacation rentals. Vacation rental owners provide furnished homes to guests for stays of less than 30 days. We work to protect and support vacation rentals by working with elected officials, government staff, and the media. We monitor local legislation that could impact vacation rentals. Proposed laws and regulations are reviewed and a position is presented to government officials. If a proposed regulation is detrimental to vacation rentals, we mobilize our members to action in order to modify the regulation to get a win-win-win result – a win for the local economy, a win for neighborhoods, and a win for owners. We interface with the media to communicate the benefits and the issues resulting from proposed laws. Members of the Alliance believe strongly in responsible management to insure vacation homes fit seamlessly into neighborhoods.
