Great Ocean Condos and Homes

What Great Ocean Condos and Homes does

Great Ocean Condos and Homes is a privately held vacation rental management and property management company founded in 2009 and headquartered in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. It manages a portfolio of approximately 391 short-term rental units — comprising direct oceanfront condos, ocean view accommodations, and beach homes — concentrated along roughly 17 miles of Central Florida's Atlantic Coast across New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, and Port Orange. The company serves three primary customer groups: leisure travelers (families, groups, snowbirds, pet owners, surfers, and event attendees such as Bike Week and Daytona 500 visitors), and a B2B segment of property owners who contract the firm for full-service rental management, marketing, and maintenance.

The technology backbone is the third-party TrackHS platform, which provides an integrated booking engine, guest and owner portals, payment processing, and property listing management. The public-facing site supports destination, date, bedroom, and amenity filters, cookie-based recently viewed tracking, favorites comparison, and direct phone bookings (386.478.7863). Marketing is concentrated on owned digital channels: a blog with 96+ area guides and event posts, organic social on Facebook and Instagram, monthly email newsletters, and seasonal promo codes (SUN, SAVINGS, new-property discount).

Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) nightly vacation rental booking fees on the company's 391-unit inventory, and (2) managed services for property owners including marketing, maintenance, guest screening, and booking administration. Pricing is property-specific with variable nightly rates by season (peaks at summer, Bike Week, and Daytona 500) and a separate snowbird monthly rental program. A small Real Estate Sales line and promotional discounting round out the commercial model. The business is locally owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding events.

Direct peers

• Vacasa: Vacasa is the largest professional vacation rental management company in North America, operating a similar full-service model — local market teams, owner management contracts, direct booking websites, and a proprietary property management platform. Most directly comparable peer in scale and business model.
• Evolve Vacation Rental: Evolve is a professional vacation rental manager that combines local-market operations with a national owner acquisition engine and direct-booking focus. Directly comparable in offering owner management services, charging no booking fees to guests, and competing on customer service versus OTA dependence.
• AvantStay: AvantStay is a tech-enabled luxury vacation rental manager operating in coastal destinations, focusing on premium design, full-service guest experience, and direct booking. Comparable to Great Ocean's oceanfront/luxury condo segment and direct-to-consumer model.
• TurnKey Vacation Rentals: TurnKey is a full-service vacation rental management company with regional local teams, standardized property care, and owner portals similar to Great Ocean's TrackHS owner portal. Directly comparable in service offering, geographic concentration in resort markets, and professional management positioning.
• iTrip Vacations: iTrip Vacations is a franchise-based vacation rental property management company serving beach and ski destinations across the US, with local owner acquisition and direct booking. Comparable regional/local operator model and target customer (vacation rental homeowners).
• VTrips: VTrips is a vacation rental management company operating in coastal and resort markets in the southeastern US, including Florida, offering full-service property management and direct booking. Comparable as a regional Florida vacation rental manager with similar owner-services business model.

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Airbnb is the dominant global vacation rental marketplace and increasingly offers full-service hosting that competes with professional managers. Serves the same guests (NSB/Daytona travelers) but as a platform rather than a local operator, and is the primary competitive threat to direct-booking operators like Great Ocean.
• Vrbo: Vrbo (owned by Expedia Group) is a major vacation rental marketplace with strong positioning in family-friendly beach destinations, including Florida's Atlantic Coast. Overlaps with Great Ocean's family/group traveler segment and competes for booking traffic via paid and organic channels.
