Resort Rentals

What Resort Rentals does

Resort Rentals is a privately held, full-service vacation rental property management company founded in 1997 and headquartered at 8010 Blind Pass Road in St. Pete Beach, Florida, with a secondary office in Madeira Beach. The company manages 250+ vacation rental properties across six Tampa Bay Gulf Coast communities — St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Indian Shores, and Indian Rocks Beach — and markets a total inventory of 440+ vacation rentals spanning condos, private homes, townhomes, and luxury properties. Its core customer segments are leisure travelers booking short-term and monthly stays, and individual property owners seeking professional management of their rental investments.

The company's product portfolio is organized along multiple axes: property type (condos, homes, townhomes), amenity tier (standard, Premier Condos with verified quality standards, luxury, beachfront, beach view, pet-friendly), bedroom count (studio through 6+ bedrooms), and stay duration (short-term vacation, long-term/annual leasing of 3+ months, and dedicated snowbird winter monthly rentals). Supporting offerings include real estate brokerage services via a licensed agent, structured promotional pricing (HOTDEALS, STAYLONGER5, automatic 14+ night discounts), and a content-marketing blog aimed at both travelers and property owners. Operations run on the TrackHS property management and booking platform, which provides self-serve owner and guest portals.

Resort Rentals generates revenue primarily through management fees and commissions on the rental income of the properties it manages, supplemented by booking-related ancillary fees, real estate sales commissions from its brokerage operation, and long-term leasing services. The company distributes directly to consumers through its website and toll-free phone reservations, emphasizing a "Book Direct & Save - No additional booking fees" positioning against OTA-channeled competitors. It is independently owned with no parent company, franchise affiliation, or disclosed institutional backing.
