Hotel-grade management for vacation homes across the Florida Space Coast — Melbourne Beach, Harbor Island Beach Club, Indialantic, Satellite Beach, and Cocoa Beach. Our staff, cleaners, and maintenance crew all work here. Local hands. Hotel discipline.
Most Space Coast owners we meet either juggle their home from out of state or use a company that disappears between bookings. We do this differently. Our office is on the Space Coast. Our cleaners, vendors, and maintenance partners are local. The person who walks your home at onboarding is the same person who picks up the phone at 2am if something breaks.
Four straightforward steps. No complexity, no guesswork. Because we’re local, site visits and onboarding move faster than the typical out-of-market manager. The ~30 days is from onboarding agreement signature to your home going live, assuming we have the documentation we need from you. Your first booking arrival can be a few weeks beyond that, depending on calendar and seasonality.
Tell us about your home. We come back within 48 hours with a tier classification, revenue projection, and clear proposal. No obligation, no contract pressure.
Our Melbourne Beach team walks your home, checks the bones, and gives you a punch list (if any). Most Space Coast homes qualify on day one. A small share need light improvements first — we’ll tell you exactly what.
Sign the management agreement. We handle the rest: professional photography, home setup across channels, dynamic pricing build, owner portal access, W-9, POA, and disbursement paperwork.
Listed on every channel that matters. Pricing tuned daily. Your first owner statement hits the portal by the 15th of the following month. First booking arrival depends on calendar and seasonality — sometimes within weeks of going live, sometimes longer.
Twelve services we handle, so you don’t. Most are bundled into your management fee. A few — photography packages, marketing campaigns, deep cleans — are billed separately at clear, fixed rates so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, direct site, and our own channels — plus premium partners owners can’t access on their own.
Daily price optimization tuned to demand, season, and competitor moves.
Every booking vetted before confirmation. Age verification, ID checks.
Accessible day or night, every market. Emergency response in minutes. Emergency response in minutes.

View bookings, block dates, download statements, anytime.
Beyond the public marketplaces, your home gets placed in curated channels that only work with managed portfolios. Owners self-managing on Airbnb or Vrbo can’t access these.
Channel eligibility varies by home tier and market. We’ll cover which channels make sense for your home in your proposal.
Tier reflects the depth of design and finish above our base standard — not the level of care, which is constant. Most homes start in Premier or Signature. We’ll tell you exactly which tier your home qualifies for and what would unlock the next one.
Every home that carries our name.
Above the base in design and finish.
Our highest classification.
One tier per home. Tier assignment happens during onboarding and is based on the home itself, not on contract negotiation. Tier changes happen on re-inspection. We’ll walk through pricing in your proposal.
We walk through fee structure in your proposal so the conversation is anchored to your home, your market, and your specific situation. What we can tell you up front: we don’t add hidden cleaning surcharges or processing fees, and we’ll show you a line-by-line comparison to any other proposal you have in hand. Request a proposal →
Our standard property management agreement (onboarding agreement) is 12 months. After year one, it automatically converts to month-to-month with 60 days written notice from either side. We don’t use lock-ins, claw-back clauses, or penalty exits.
You’re welcome to use your home at any point during the year, so long as it’s not previously booked. We ask for at least 30 days’ notice where possible to protect your calendar and avoid conflicts.
We’ll tell you exactly what needs to change. Most homes that don’t qualify on day one qualify after a short improvement list — usually linens, paint touch-ups, small repairs. Not every home is a fit, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours isn’t one. We’d rather pass than over-promise.
Twelve services we coordinate: home distribution across all major channels, dynamic pricing, guest screening, 24/7 guest support, hotel-grade cleaning between stays, routine maintenance coordination, professional photography (re-shot seasonally), tax collection & remittance, monthly owner statements, marketing & SEO for direct bookings, insurance coordination, and a full-featured owner portal. The only thing you handle is owning the home.
Onboarding takes about 30 days from onboarding agreement signature. That includes professional photography, home setup across channels, dynamic pricing model build, and inspection. Most homes have their first guest booking within week 2-3 of going live.
Net revenue (after our fee and verified expenses) is deposited directly to your bank account by the 15th of the following month. Your itemized statement is available in the owner portal the day we close the books — typically the 1st-3rd of each month.
After year one, give us 60 days written notice. We’ll close out in-flight guests and settle all statements. To be honest about what does and doesn’t move with you: professional photography is licensed to Villatel and stays with us; OTA listings can’t be transferred to a new operator (you’d need to open a new listing); channel review history does not move. The home is yours, your owner statements are yours, and you keep a stronger booking record than you arrived with.
Our local office serves Melbourne Beach (including the Harbor Island Beach Club community), Indialantic, Satellite Beach, and Cocoa Beach. If your home is along the Space Coast and you’re not sure whether it’s in our footprint, just ask — we can usually say one way or the other within an hour.
