Success Stories From the Owners Who Know Us Best.
Here is what our owners are saying…
We’ve had a relationship with Best Beach Getaways for more than two years now and I would just like to share how much I value and appreciate all that you do for us. When we bought our first rental property and we were referred to you, I was going into it not really knowing what to expect. From day one, you and the BBG team have been incredible in making everything seamless and easy. Living so far away in Kentucky, I never have to worry whether or not things are being handled professionally, with courtesy, and timeliness. Last year, in the throws of a global pandemic, you and the team at BBG kept in constant contact with us, despite the confusing and fluid nature of what was going on in Florida. In a scary time, it was comforting to know there were people I could count on that would keep the train moving forward. Erica, you have been a trusted ally and are so proactive and quick to respond to any request. Jim, your emails during the closures last year were great and kept me informed of what was going on. Kimberly, you have made signing on our second property extremely easy and stress-free. My only regret is that I have yet to meet any of you in person because, more than just a business relationship, I consider you all friends. I would gladly refer you to anyone looking for a rental agency in your area. Feel free to use my name and phone number to anyone who would like a reference.

Best Beach Getaways has been my rental property manager since 2013, when my wife and I purchased a rental home in Emerald Shores in Miramar Beach. At that time we met with Jim DeVos and the team. At the meeting we felt very comfortable, with the informative conversations, that mirrored both parties goals and objectives. The team is very accessible if needs arise and follow ups meet expectations. The number of rental days in a given year continues to expand. Plans and insights as to plans to increase rentals are reviewed each year.
Over the years Best Beach Getaways has exhibited professionalism, trustworthiness in all dealings we have had.
Being a resident of Texas, when a maintenance issue did arise, I was put at ease as Best Beach Getaways handled the needs at hand in a timely manner. Lastly Monthly rental recaps are timely and detailed in a user-friendly format. Definitely contact BBG if you are looking for a property manager.

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.

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!

When we purchased our Runaway Bay home last December, we were unfamiliar with all the details and procedures involved with handling a vacation rental property. Fortunately, we found Best Beach Getaways for the job. Their on-site office at Runaway Bay is especially appealing as it fosters a more responsive and hands-on approach to our needs and closer connection to the Runaway Bay community. Initially, the property needed quite a bit of sprucing up to improve its rental appeal, and Amanda C., our Operations Manager, provided us with a great amount of guidance regarding decorating enhancements; and dedicated much time and effort making sure all the pieces came together. Since we started renting at the beginning of this year, we’ve come to appreciate how Amanda and her staff are always accessible, and how they promptly address the needs of our rental customers and oversee the home’s upkeep. We are pleased with BBG’s marketing approach that ensures we have good visibility to the rental market including their easy-to-navigate, customer-friendly website and use of rental sites like VRBO. The BBG owner portal provides us with all the information we need regarding our rental unit; and, each month, detailed statements are e-mailed to us and rental income deposits are promptly executed. Any statement questions are always addressed quickly by Shelley Carroll in Accounting. We are pleased to recommend Best Beach Getaways to any rental property owner, especially those having property in Runaway Bay.

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.
