Destin Florida Pet Friendly Vacation Property Management Services

Thank you for taking a closer look at Easy Street Vacation Rentals, Property Management Services. 


Easy Street Vacation Rentals is a small, hands-on rental management company - by choice. My wife and I personally own 4 single family vacation rental homes in the Crystal Beach area of Destin, Florida, and manage 14 others for out of state owners. My wife and I are both retired executives, I was a Credit Union CEO for twenty plus years. This is our dream retirement job and we thoroughly enjoy what we do. Our goal is to grow our little company to where we can still hands-on manage the operation, so we can maintain the quality of service we provide to our Owners and Guests.  We are selective on the properties we take over, and all properties that we currently manage for others are high-quality, pet friendly homes, and all have come from friends or referrals of current owners.

We have developed a unique market niche, we cater to high end pet friendly visitors. We  have very tight controls (See Guest Terms and Conditions) and have rarely had "pet" issues, and more importantly, our properties have NEVER suffered negative consequences from being pet friendly. What this market niche has done, however, is significantly increased our gross revenue through pet fees (which are less than half the cost of boarding pets), and repeat and referred renters.  Our occupancy rate consistently exceeds 75%, and our repeat renter ratios exceeds 65%.

At Easy Street Vacation Rentals we are committed to service and performance, both to our Owners and to our Guests, and take personal responsibility for the successful rental of your property.

Boots on the Ground

Probably the most important convenience we provide is local property management, we live locally and drive by all properties at least once a day during off season and up to three times a day during high season, noting any suspicious activity. We are available daily for you and our guests. We want you to consider us as your trusted local agent, a responsibility we do not take lightly.  When you deal with Easy Street vacation Rentals, you deal with the actual owners of the business. We clearly understand, we don't make money unless you make money, and to do that we must create a great guest experience at your home.

Reference

We would be happy to have you contact any of our existing Owners for a first hand recommendation on our work ethic, reliability, services and performance. In the seven years we have been in business we have NEVER lost a home to poor performance.
 
Please Feel free to Contact Us if you have any additional questions or to receive a Sample Property Management Agreement. And remember, we would be working for you, if you don't succeed, we don't succeed.
