Success Stories From the Owners Who Know Us Best.
Here is what our owners are saying…
We switched to Best Beach Getaways after much research, for more competitive commission rates for full or VRBO agency services, for our rental condo. We use them for confirming reservations, processing deposits and entry codes, completing post-rental cleaning and providing maintenance services, at reasonable prices. I would recommend Best Beach Getaways to other owners to manage their rental property.

We had been vacationing at Emerald Towers in Destin for decades- always as a “renter”.
In 2021, we finally purchased a condo at Emerald Towers.
Our top goal when buying a condo at Emerald Towers was to have a personal vacation spot in Destin. But, we also knew that renting our condo (when we are not enjoying it) would be a great way to share this little slice of heaven on earth with others as well as have some income to offset financial liabilities.
Many rental management companies were recommended to us. After lots of review and discussion, we chose Best Beach Getaways. This was a brilliant decision. The BBG “attention to caring” for our condo has been amazing in so many ways.
Our biggest concerns when choosing a Rental Management Company were ensuring top tier cleanliness, maintaining the optimum rental experience for our rental guests and optimizing financial gains.
The operations team at BBG has been superior- this includes the cleaning team, inspection team (after each cleaning), reservations team and financial team.
Shelley, our Owner Services Manager has been tremendous. Shelley ensures that financial “deposits and statements” are always on time and easy to understand. Shelley also addresses many questions that crop up- she is always accessible and responsive.
Mike, our Reservation Manager is a also top tier communicator- which we really appreciate. Mike works very hard and has kept our condo rented with optimum rentals and financial income.
Erica, our present Operations Manager (previously Delphine managed Destin area- also fabulous) has been really great with communication regarding any condo needs, recommended upgrades or repairs. When we have had any appliance concerns/needs, Erica directed immediate BBG help to avoid any downtime or issues for our guests.
We also receive a monthly newsletter from President Jim- also a great communicator. Jim keeps us updated with the local real estate market and rental conditions - so we are in the know about past, present and future conditions that affect condo rentals.
Finally, we are extremely pleased and very grateful with our relationship with Best Beach Getaways.

Jim & Mike,
My wife and I have utilized the services of Best Beach Getaways for the past seven years and could not be more pleased.
The entire staff from Jim DeVos to the reservations staff to the operations manager are absolutely top notch. If we have any type of problem, they rectify it in a most timely manner. When it comes to rental booking, we have experienced a yearly increase in the number of bookings and the amount of income.
We meet with Jim and Matt DeVos on a yearly basis in order to air any concerns we may have and to solicit their input on how to improve our condos in order to make them more attractive and marketable. Their suggestions are always appreciated and productive.
Best Beach Getaways deserves and gets our highest recommendation.

All our testimonials are from Current owners, but with great comments like the following, we must make an exception. Mark Jordan was the previous owner of Twin Palms 1902 and here is what he had to say:
I am closing on the sale of my condo tomorrow and want to take a minute and acknowledge the hard work of the Best Beach team.
Connie has done an incredible job handling the details of my unit. High degree of personal ownership, great attitude, and superb customer communication.
Donielle also did a fantastic job. Her responsiveness and can-do attitude are invaluable.
Shelley was always available to guide and direct on statement related issues with a cheerful engagement.
Matt & Mike were always helpful in dealing with any problems that arose. Their most notable trait is “how can we make this right.”
The Best Beach Team is first class in every regard. They maximize earnings, take care of problems the right way, and respond in a timely manner. It is a true partnership when working with Best Beach. They clearly know what it means to put the customer first. I worked with two previous management companies and the difference is night and day.
Also, I am buying in Miami. If I was buying anywhere your team works, I would be using you again. I am a Best Beach customer for life!
Thank you very much!

As a first time owner, Best Beach Getaways made our leap into the vacation rental market much less intimidating. Before having a contract on our property, I spoke with several management companies. The owner of BBG graciously answered all my questions and spent more time than I ever expected to help me understand the “business side” of things. Once we closed on our property, it was a no brainer. We called Best Beach Getaways and they have managed our unit from the beginning. Though we’ve heard from other owners we’ve met along the way that there are no good companies out there…we disagree. We have been very pleased with the rental income and care the BBG team has overseen on our behalf.
If you have had a bad experience with other management companies or are new to the vacation rental business like we were, contact Best Beach Getaways. I think you’ll be glad you did.

I have had my condo at St. Croix in Silver Shells with Best Beach Getaways for many years. I have seen an increase in revenue year after year and I appreciate the care they take in managing my unit. Delphine McGibiany, the Operations Manager, treats my unit as if it were her own. She goes above and beyond to make sure my unit is well maintained and I know that I can reach out to her anytime I have questions or concerns. I strongly recommend the Best Beach Getaways team to all owners.
