Advertising

Our advertising success has surprised even us! As premier partners with worldwide reservation booking services such as VRBO, HomeAway, and Expedia, our properties are consistently showcased online and integrated with the Beach Blue website which provides a seamless guest reservation experience.  The Beach Blue website features detailed property descriptions, online reservations, and instant quotes.  A prompt and thorough response to each and every rental inquiry is emailed to the potential guest within a few minutes. 

Booking, Policies and Tax Services

The process for scheduling, booking reservations, and collecting payments is streamlined and provides accurate accounting for each property. Online payments include major credit cards and e-checks.  Rentals are limited to persons over the age of 25, and pets are not allowed. Smoking is not permitted in any of our rental properties.

Each guest rental includes damage insurance that covers unintentional damage to the property up to $1500 per reservation. In addition, we offer optional travel protection coverage through CSA Travel Insurance. The policy provides reimbursement to the guest for a reservation cancellation within 45 days of arrival for weather or medical related events. All refunds for cancellations within 45 days of arrival will be issued through CSA Travel Insurance. Our travel protection insurance plan is offered to protect our guest’s vacation investment, and to protect the property owner’s revenue stream.

We offer monthly filing and payment of state and county sales and use tax as a service to our property owners. Monthly rental activity statements and revenue payments are sent to property owners by the 10th day of each month. Property owners may access their rental calendar, make owner reservations and view monthly statements by logging into the “OWNER PORTAL” section of our website.

Housekeeping and Maintenance

Our professional housekeepers will clean and inspect your rental property immediately following each guest departure. We will charge the guest a reasonable and customary cost for the cleaning fee.  A member of our staff will conduct a walk-through of the property following each guest departure. Light bulbs, air filter changes, and remote control/battery replacements are offered free of charge to the owner. Other home maintenance services (carpet cleaning, heat and air service, plumbing repairs, appliance repairs, tile cleaning, pressure washing, etc.) will be offered as needed and charged to the owner’s account. A deep clean will be completed yearly during the off-season and charged to the owner’s account.

Fees

Beach Blue charges a flat commission percentage of the gross rental revenue for your property. Property owners pay an annual advertising fee (currently $795) and pay the cost of two full sets of linens upon start up. We do not charge property owners for credit card fees, amenity fees, or other miscellaneous fees.

Owner Use

Property owners may use their rental property at their own discretion by reserving dates via the OWNER PORTAL section of our website. We do not limit the number of weeks available for owner use. However, we strongly suggest that owners limit peak season reservations, and adhere to the “Saturday to Saturday” booking structure that is consistent with our booking procedure. Please be aware that the more time you have available for vacationers during peak season, the more income your property will generate.
