Short-term rental rules are set street by street — minimum stays, licences, association bylaws. We check that first, in every market we work in. We own five rentals ourselves and manage more for other owners, so we've been through it on our own money before yours.
Most owners arrive needing one of these and discover they need the next one too. You can take any of them on their own.
The rules are written city by city and they change. Pinellas County alone runs twenty-five separate rulebooks. Knowing which one applies to your address, today, is the work.
A rental doesn't earn on square footage, it earns on the first five photos. We design and furnish properties we then have to operate, which changes what gets specified.
Co-hosting at 15% or full management at 22%. No setup fee, no vendor markup, no booking fee — the percentage is the whole price.
We currently own five rentals, including four units in one Clearwater building, and we've run as many as eleven at once across Canada and the United States. Every pricing decision, vendor relationship and permit renewal we'd apply to your property is one we already run on our own money.
That changes the incentives. We don't earn more when your maintenance bill goes up, and we don't fill your calendar with underpriced bookings to hit a volume target. Having owned property in one country while living in another, we also know what it's like to be the remote owner rather than the person on the ground.
At most firms your point of contact is a coordinator with sixty other properties. Here it's the person whose own money is in five of them. Call the number on this page before you sign anything and see who picks up.
Tell us where the property is and what you're hoping to do with it. We'll come back free with which jurisdiction it actually sits in and whether nightly rentals are possible there at all — including, if it's Clearwater, whether you're in one of the five categories that can. If it's worth going further than that, we'll tell you what a full Parcel Report would cost before you commit to anything.
Florida, South Carolina & Georgia
We specialise in Pinellas and Polk counties, where our own properties are, and we know the surrounding markets well — Hillsborough included. Management, regulation and tax work, and design and setup are all available across the three. We also manage in South Carolina and Georgia, with more coming online. Wherever the property is, the first thing we do is the same — find out what that specific parcel is actually permitted to do.
