Vacation Rentals Beach Properties

What Vacation Rentals Beach Properties does

Vacation Rentals Beach Properties, operating as Beach Trip Vacation Rentals, is a privately held, owner-operated short-term vacation rental management company headquartered at 5633 A1A South, St. Augustine, Florida 32080. The company was founded in 1999 and operates with 11–50 employees. It manages approximately 72 rental properties across the Northeast Florida coastal corridor of St. Augustine/Crescent Beach, Palm Coast, and Flagler Beach, ranging from 4- to 5-bedroom homes with amenities such as private pools, game rooms, ocean views, and direct beach access. The company is run by three co-owners — John, Carolyn, and George (the latter holding a Realtor license) — with no institutional capital, parent company, or external investors identified in the source data.

The company's technology backbone is the third-party CiiRUS property management and reservation platform, which powers its website (vacationrentaltime.com), real-time availability calendars, owner portal, and online bookings. Core products include short-term vacation rental bookings (nightly rates of $300–$1,100+ with 12% tax), full-service property management for owners (marketing, guest screening, 24-hour maintenance, owner portal reporting), equipment rentals (bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas with optional $25 delivery), attraction tickets for local Florida activities, and real-estate brokerage consultation for prospective investors. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via self-service website booking, phone reservations (+1 904-679-5425), and email ([email protected]), with the website exposing German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese language flags indicating some international demand capture.

The business model is multi-stream: transaction fees on rental bookings (per-night rates with 12% tax pass-through), managed-services fees from property owners for full-service management, ancillary equipment rental fees (e.g., $20/day adult bikes, $30/day single kayak), and commission-based attraction ticket sales. The customer base spans two segments — individual vacationers and families seeking beach getaways (primary consumer segment) and individual property owners seeking professional management of vacation rental investments (primary B2B segment) — with marketing conducted primarily through the company website, email newsletter, and direct phone/email contact. The company faces no enterprise customer concentration, but its entire revenue base is exposed to a single regional Florida tourism market.

Direct peers

• AvantStay: Tech-enabled short-term rental manager operating curated portfolios of whole-home beach and leisure properties, including in Florida. Comparable product (whole-home beach rentals with amenity-rich listings) and overlapping target guest.
• Vacasa: Largest U.S. vacation rental management company offering full-service property management for homeowners in coastal and leisure destinations, including Florida. Directly comparable operating model — marketing, guest screening, 24/7 support, and dynamic pricing — but at vastly greater scale.
• Casago: Franchise-based vacation rental property management company with presence across U.S. leisure markets including Florida. Offers the same full-service homeowner management (marketing, reservations, maintenance) as the subject.
• Evolve: National vacation rental management company that partners with homeowners for marketing, guest support, and cleaning coordination. Similar capital-light, fee-based model targeting individual property owners in U.S. leisure markets.
• TurnKey Vacation Rentals: Tech-enabled full-service vacation rental manager for individual homeowners in U.S. leisure markets. Direct competitor for managed-property contracts in Florida beach submarkets.
• iTrip Vacations: Franchise short-term rental management company focused on individual investor owners in U.S. vacation destinations. Closely comparable business model of managing whole-home rentals on behalf of owners in regional markets.

Broad incumbents

• Vrbo (Expedia Group): Major short-term rental distribution platform that aggregates demand for vacation homes. Not a direct manager, but the dominant discovery layer against which small managers must compete for bookings.
• Marriott Homes & Villas: Hospitality incumbent that has expanded into professionally managed whole-home vacation rentals, offering distribution and loyalty scale a regional manager cannot match. Competes for the same premium family traveler.
• Airbnb: Global short-term rental marketplace that controls much of the demand funnel for beach destinations in Florida. While not a property manager, Airbnb's scale and brand shape the competitive context for any regional vacation rental operator.

Others

• CiiRUS: Short-term rental property management and reservation software platform used by the subject company to power its website and owner portal. Functions as an enabling technology vendor rather than a competitor, but its roadmap and pricing affect the subject's operating economics.
