Case Studies
Kristine V. - Marco Island, FL
Beachfront South Seas Paradise

Positive cash-flow? We didn’t think that was realistic. It’s happening. Last year was challenging with the hurricane. I used to manage our own condo on a vacation rental by owner listing site. The results were okay. I could keep the condo booked during high season, but rarely got any bookings June through October. Not anymore. Now with Plus+ our condo is nearly completely booked up for the next nine months! What a difference. I’m pleased as punch.
Now my husband and I are shopping for another vacation rental. Any why not? With our Marco condo running at positive cash-flow with Plus+, we want another. And likely another after that. Thank you Plus+! |

Tom & Diane W. - San Marco, FL
$63,937 Increase in Vacation Rental Income
|
You probably already know that short-term vacation rental income often substantially exceeds long-term annual rental income. Do you know how much? 200% or 300% more income is not uncommon.
Just ask Thomas and Diane W. of San Marco, Florida. They own a nice 3 bedroom, 3 bath ranch-style home right on newly-renovated Mackle Park on the Island of San Marco, Florida. It was so easy for them to get long-term rentals. Given the location on the park, they just posted a sign in the front yard and the phone rang and rang. They signed-up an annual renter for $1,350 per month. This tenant loved the place and stayed put for 8 years without a rent increase. |

Until… Rent payments started coming late and under paid. After a few months of tolerating late payments and shortfalls, they decided to make a change.
Tom & Diane contacted Plus+ Vacation Rental. Short-term vacation rental income for their family-friendly home on the park comes in at $80,137 per year. Wow! That’s an annual increase of $63,937.
Any regrets? Yes. Tom & Diane are kicking themselves for not researching short-term rental market rates and contacting Plus+ Vacation Rental sooner. This is some serious coin left on the table! They’re thrilled to have their property managed stress-free, go golfing, and enjoy such a substantial life-style enhancing revenue increase.

George & Shobha O. - Santa Rosa Beach, FL
A Years' Worth of Bookings in Three Weeks
|
We purchased our “Beach Break” bungalow in Santa Rosa Beach and really enjoyed renovating the home. The previous owner was already using a traditional property manager who we inherited for a couple years. We learned a LOT about owning a vacation property and we became increasingly disappointed with the execution and results. The booking revenue was not that great and we had issues with some guests who didn’t seem to be screened properly.
A friend told us about Plus+ Vacation Rental. The rest is history. Plus+ Vacation Rental booked more revenue in the first three weeks than our previous property manager booked all year. Wow! The folks at Plus+ have been a pleasure to work with. The on-boarding process was insightful and efficient. They seem to have thought of everything. |

Plus+ has done so much more than our previous manager to market and promote “Beach Break”. That seems to be the difference. The professional photos are exceptional. The professionally drafted listing descriptions immerse the reader into feeling the vacation experience in our bungalow. We’re listed on all the major booking sites, have social media campaigns, search keyword optimization, etc. It’s clearly working. Thank you Plus+! We tell our friends and neighbors about Plus+ every chance we get.
