Hello, I'm Alona,

Originally from the sunny Kherson region of Ukraine - a place celebrated for its sweet watermelons. Since 2019, I’ve honed my skills in Airbnb property management, first in Ukraine and then in Slovenia, where I consistently received glowing feedback from clients for enhancing and streamlining Airbnb setups.

In 2022, I brought my passion and expertise to Oxford, founding Watermelon Rentals. We blend standardised, IT-driven processes with a personalised touch. Each property is managed as if it were my own, ensuring peace of mind and a stable, guaranteed income for every owner.

Let us take care of the details so you can enjoy the benefits of your investment without the hassle.

Tim
Property Owner in Oxford
"Before partnering with Watermelon Rentals, my Oxford property was rented out to students and was quite run-down. Since Watermelon took over, they've transformed it to the standard of a hotel, in superb condition, and my income has nearly tripled each month. It's incredible to see such a transformation and profitability through their expert management."
Catherine
Property Investor with a Home in Slovenia
"Managing a property abroad can be daunting, but Watermelon Rentals ensures that my Slovenian holiday home is well taken care of, even though I'm not in the country. It's remarkable to have a family retreat that not only serves as a getaway but also generates a stable income. Their efficiency and reliability have truly exceeded my expectations."
Ian
Airbnb Host in Ukraine
"Despite the ongoing invasion, Watermelon Rentals has been phenomenal in managing my property in Ukraine. They've maintained an occupancy rate of over 80% without reducing prices, ensuring continuous income. Their proactive and secure management in such challenging times is nothing short of remarkable."
