Vacation Rental Management Program Details

Why Choose Emerald Beach Properties to Manage Your Property?

Emerald Beach Properties grew out of our need for a personalized, attentive, and cost effective property management company. One that we could really trust to care for our own “Perfect Place in Paradise” just like it was theirs. Panama City Beach offers many options when it comes to hiring a management company to handle the day to day operations of your vacation rental property. Choosing the right one can feel like an impossible task (we know, we’ve been there!). After nearly 20 years of condo ownership, multiple managers, and hundreds of headaches, we know exactly what owners and guests are looking for! We started out just managing properties owned by our family. We’ve spent years perfecting the way we do business, our marketing, and our efficiency and cost management techniques. Today we are proud to offer our unique program to all owners looking for that family feel, individual attention, increased revenue, and lower costs that our family has enjoyed for many years!

Our High Standards Yield Great Results

From owner satisfaction, to guest relations, and beyond; Emerald Beach Properties strives to exceed your expectations. Our dedicated, trained and friendly staff will make you feel right at home, while offering the absolute best service! Our office is conveniently located at 2027 Joan AV, right on “The Strip.” Being on the Beach means that we’re right here every day, to personally provide the worry free vacation rental ownership experience that you deserve. Our office is convenient for guests and lets us offer guests those spur of the moment rentals that can really add to your bottom line. Contact us today to receive our introductory packet that will answer even more of your questions in depth. We would love to set up a face to face meeting with you to discuss your property. If you have additional questions, we are just a phone call, text or email away!

We Care About You & Your Investment

We’ll treat your property as if it were our own, even down to the smallest details. We’ll answer all the phone calls and e-mails for your property. We’ll take care of successfully renting your property to qualified, carefully screened guests. Joining the Emerald Beach Properties family, means just that, you’re truly part of our family! We go above and beyond, every single day, to ensure success for all of our owners.

Communications Are Our Priority
We pride ourselves on being available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call our office number you will talk to a real person from 8AM through 5PM Monday through Friday. All calls are answered by our staff or our after hours answering service. Communication is key when it comes to successful property management, which is why we are available at all times for both our owners and guests. We always love to hear from our clients and guests!

You Are In Control
Your property, is your property! We are here to help in every way we can, but you never lose control. We offer a program that lets our owners be as involved in the day-to-day as they would like. If you would prefer that we not rent your property for less than a specific nightly amount, no problem! Want to write your own property description? Absolutely! We’re willing and able to handle every aspect of managing your investment, but welcome owner input and encourage owner involvement. We also don’t limit the time you can visit your property, use it whenever you’d like! We do recommend avoiding the peak seasons, as this decreases your revenue, but we leave that decision completely up to you! We never require you to give us “comp” days for free like other management companies.

Owner Portal
Every owner in the Emerald Beach Properties family has access to their very own Owner Portal. Your Owner Portal allows you to view past and future bookings, make owner reservations, send questions to us, submit work orders and view past statements! The Owner Portal offers real time information, so our owners can stay “in the loop”.

Experienced Maintenance Staff & Cost Effective Minor Maintenance Program
Our Maintenance Department handles everything related to keeping your property in tip top shape. Our Maintenance Techs are experienced in construction and property maintenance. You can rest assured that your investment is being monitored and maintained by the very best! Emerald Beach Properties offers you our cost saving Minor Maintenance Program, which covers many of the frequent upkeep items in your property. Non-program maintenance is billed at reasonable hourly rates plus materials. Our maintenance department is set up to give you peace of mind. The minor maintenance plan is a cost effective way to manage the day to day maintenance of your property and all owners are required to join the plan for a small monthly fee.

Top Notch Housekeeping Department & Luxury Linen Pool
Our Housekeeping Department is the best on the beach, hands down! Emerald Beach Properties carefully selects the most experienced housekeepers and we make sure they have the tools needed to do a great cleaning job every time. Our inspectors make sure our cleaning checklist is followed to insure quality.  Our Housekeeping Manager has many years of experience running a large housekeeping operation, and brings a dedicated and enthusiastic work ethic to our Housekeeping Department. All of our luxury linen is professionally laundered after each stay. We are very proud of the cleanliness of our properties, and understand how important this is to our owners and guests!

Full Property Inventory, Including Photos
Our staff completes a full, top to bottom inventory of your property. Along with the inventory, we take a series of photos of your property during the inventory so that we have a record of everything (including inside cabinets and closets). We’ll provide you with an updated inventory during your deep cleans to make sure that your property has the things guests want so they will have the best vacation ever. This has proven to be an extremely effective way of controlling costs for our owners and for generating repeat rental guests for your property!

Departure & Arrival Inspections
The only way to successfully manage vacation rentals is to check on them often. Housekeeping, maintenance and our other employees check on your property regularly. We complete an inspection after each guest departs, and also on the day of a guest’s arrival. We do property visits when your property is unoccupied for more than a few consecutive days. We are hands on and involved in the daily upkeep of your unit, all year round, not just during peak season. We familiarize ourselves with every property, and know them all inside and out!

Secure Door Lock System
Panama City Beach is a busy vacation destination, which means there are lots of people coming and going all the time. One of the best pieces of advice we can offer all owners, is to take steps to secure their property. Keys can be copied, many electronic locks use the same code repeatedly, this is not safe or secure for either owners or guests. Emerald Beach Properties uses a top of the line electronic door lock system that offers increased security and peace of mind! Owners are issued a code that does not expire. Guests are issued codes that are only valid for the guest’s arrival time through their departure time. Guests can use the code we issue to them to create their own custom code for their stay. For added security, we require a deadbolt on each entry door that can be locked from inside. Guests appreciate this level of security. Housekeepers, maintenance personnel, our employees and your COA have their own codes that are trackable as well. All lock access information can be retrieved and audited at any time, this allows us to know, and control, who is entering your property at all times.

We Abide by Age & Occupancy Limits, Damage Coverage
Emerald Beach Properties strictly enforces occupancy limits and age restrictions. We ask the right questions, and follow up on any questionable activity. Our commitment to obeying age and occupancy limits set by the local government and homeowners’ associations is a powerful tool we use to limit the likelihood of damage to your property by guests. During busy times of the year, we use mid-week inspections to assure that all is in order with your property. Any damages that do occur, are quickly and competently handled. Each guest pays a damage waiver fee to cover damages up to $1000 and they provide a credit card to cover damage above that amount.. Whether it be repair, or replacement, the guest is held responsible. We protect our owners, and their investment!

Spring Break Opportunities and Options
In the past, Spring Break was a huge event in Panama City Beach each year. Our local city & county governments have enacted ordinances that are focusing Spring Break more on families and less on the college crowd. This means that the risk of renting your property during Spring Break is not as bad as it was a few years ago. We have successfully generated income for our owners during spring break, year after year, with minimal issues. We offer our owners several options for spring break rentals: do not rent during the spring break period; extend winter guest stays for the spring break period; rent to carefully screened spring breakers with extra damage deposits and surprise midweek inspections. It’s completely up to you whether to rent your property during spring break.

Marketing for Maximum Revenue For You

Emerald Beach Properties partners with VRBO, HomeAway, booking.com, AirBnB, Facebook, Google+, Panama City Beach Tourist Development Council, Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce, Streamline and others! We find that marketing through multiple channels, local and worldwide, increases booked reservations significantly! Along with our email marketing campaigns, and consistent follow up with previous guests, we make sure we use every tool available! Our innovative and sales driven management software offers us new ways to reach future and past guests with ease. The rental seasons, along with rental rates, are ever changing in Panama City Beach. Our staff is on top of the evolving seasons, and competitive rates, so that we maximize not only rental nights but revenue as well! This dynamic pricing approach yields excellent results for our owners.  Emerald Beach Properties stays in sync with new trends and is continuously finding new, inventive ways to market your property to guests.

Professional Photography, and a World-Class Website – For FREE!
Spotlighting your property, and all of the hours you spent creating your “Perfect Place in Paradise”, is very important to us. All the hard work you have done on your property really does make a difference in attracting the best guests to book your property. All of our properties are professionally photographed and presented on our website and channel partners like VRBO, AirBnB, booking.com, etc. at no cost! Our on-staff photographer and web designer brings over 20 years of experience to the table. With stunning, eye-catching photos and a modern website with easy navigation, it is easier than ever for potential guests to find your beautiful property!

Guest Satisfaction=Return Guests
Without guests, the vacation rental industry would certainly crumble, which is why guest satisfaction is so important! From answering guest inquiries and phone calls quickly and efficiently, to offering streamlined check-in procedures, we do everything in our power to deliver our guests their dream vacation. No matter what time of day or night, we’re there for our guests! Our dedication to guest satisfaction has gained us numerous loyal, return customers. We strive to be the friendliest company on the beach, our guests notice and appreciate the quality of service they receive each and every time they stay with Emerald Beach Properties.

Each Property is Listed and Marketed Individually
We represent you and your property. We do not use a “rental pool” or “rotation” type booking system! We allow your property to stand out and shine for its individuality. Guests know exactly what property they are reserving. They often ask us if the properties really are as nice as the photos, and we are proud to say that they are. Another common question is whether the booking agent has actually seen the property. To that we can proudly answer, “YES!” because every staff member is familiar with all of the properties we manage. This is a huge boost to guest satisfaction! Our rental services agents work to book guests into the units they originally contact us about. When that is not possible, other properties owned by you are offered to guests first. If you don’t have any availability, we offer the guest other properties that are well matched to their needs. Having a large group of individually marketed properties benefits all properties within the group.

We are a Luxury Property Management Company
Panama City Beach has a large pool of vacation rentals to choose from, there is truly something for everyone. We pride ourselves on offering luxury properties, properties that are well cared for and updated. Emerald Beach Properties has earned a solid reputation for going above and beyond our guests’ expectations. We have a very large percentage of guests who return to stay with us year after year, because of the high quality of the properties and service we offer. We ensure every aspect of our properties’ and our guest’s experience is luxurious!

Emerald Beach Properties: Strong Past, Bright Future!

We have run a strong and profitable vacation rental management company for over 25 years. Our long track record and solid reputation proves that we’re capable of thinking outside the box to stay successful in an ever changing market. Regardless of busy hurricane seasons, COVID-19, recessions, oil spills, or whatever else we may face in the future, the Emerald Beach Properties family will continue to grow and prosper! You can feel confident in our ability to plan ahead, prepare and adapt as necessary for our shared success.

Technology Now and Tomorrow
Technology, and the way we communicate, changes constantly. It is imperative that we stay a step ahead and evolve in order to remain successful. Emerald Beach Properties stays informed of what is popular now and what is to come in the future. Partnering with Streamline, one of the largest, most reputable booking and marketing software companies out there, lets us offer our owners and guests the best vacation rental experience possible. Our property management system allows for not only advances in technology (such as apps for guests, owners, housekeeping, and maintenance), but also offers simple, effective ways for us to market your unit. Anyone has the ability to produce and send out a “blanket email blast” to past guests, Emerald Beach Properties strives to create real connections, which in turn generates increased leads and reservations for all of the properties we manage for our owners.

Licensed, Bonded, Insured
Emerald Beach Properties is one of the few property management companies in Panama City Beach that is fully licensed, bonded and insured. Multiple licenses are required for our company, along with each individual property. We’ve done all of the footwork for you to ensure that all required licensing is properly filed and approved. We make sure you are in compliance with the many Florida rules and regulations regarding vacation rental properties. Our owners can rest assured, confident that we handle the “red tape”!
