The rental management market is fragmented, with companies specializing by geographic area and type of property. There are also the "captive" rental operations of the major developments, such as WaterColor, Seaside, and Rosemary Beach. Each company's policy on deposits, minimum terms, and other factors will vary, as will what they charge the owners for their services. Below are some resources to consult for your vaction needs, or if you are a property owner seeking information about managing your property on the rental market.

VRBO. By far the largest web site devoted to helping owners manage their own rental properties, VRBO was started in 1995 by an Aspen, CO condo owner who was seeking better performance from his investment. They're now worldwide. You can often get a better rate and terms here, but you probably won't get much handholding: that's the owner's job. |
