About Beach Blue Properties

Beach Blue Properties, LLC, led by Ralph and Carla Abraham, is a fully licensed vacation property management company with a fresh approach. We began our property management venture in 2008 with only two properties. We have since grown to include property offerings from Destin to 30a.

We are a young, energetic company operated with the advantage of a wealth of experience. Our office is located in the Pilot House at Baytowne Wharf, Miramar Beach, Florida. The strength of our company is our experience. Carla Abraham has over 20 years of experience renting, selling and purchasing exclusive real estate. Ralph Abraham has 17 years experience in business management and real estate investment management.

Our company is large enough to accommodate client and guest needs, yet small enough to know our property owners personally. Our full time staff includes property managers, reservation specialists, maintenance personnel, professional housekeeping personnel, appliance and air conditioner repairmen on call, and summer student helpers.

Our Staff

Ralph Abraham

Ralph is co-owner of Beach Blue Properties, and is the guy who keeps all the balls in the air. He is originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. With a background in people management and investment, he is best at communicating with staff members and strategizing the “big picture”. Although Ralph is educated in accounting and has extensive experience in business management, it is unlikely you will ever find him sitting behind a desk. He is the proverbial extrovert – if you have met him, you like him.

As the broker of Beach Blue Real Estate, Carla is there to facilitate real estate transactions and assist clients in finding a dream home at the beach. Even though life at Beach Blue is extremely busy, Carla finds time to spend with her husband, three children, and two dogs… and still sneak off to the beach now and then.
