We Increase your Rental Revenues

Lower expenses. Higher rates. More bookings. Repeat guests. Diamond Gulf Rentals yields higher returns with above-average occupancy, lower operating costs and higher booking conversions. We are small by choice and we implement the same technologies and marketing that large companies use. Our recipe is simple and effective. By limiting the number of Destin & 30a beach rental homes that we manage, we are able to maximize leads from our advertising efforts. The steady stream of inquiries is channeled more efficiently to our boutique selection of Diamond properties.

Faster response time to inquiries and engaging dialogue means higher booking conversion. Guests are more likely to book when they received a personalized response that helps them visualize their vacation experience and gets them excited about your home! We personalize our responses to include special details about your beach rental home, amenities that are included, local restaurants, happy hours, live music venues and details of their arrival gift.

Here is what guests are saying about our booking process!
“Thanks for your quick response! … We are trying to make some final decisions and I have to tell you, your response is the reason we’ve decided on your home. Very personable and informative. Thanks for airport info! “
-K

We are driven to optimize rental income for your home. Our owners are never charged a markup on expenses, credit card fees nor guest departure cleaning fees. We keep you informed – along with detailed monthly reports, our owner website keeps you up to date on activity, bookings and payments.

We take proactive measures to maintain your Destin FL or 30a vacation home with the highest standards to avoid potential costly repairs. One way we do this is providing weekly property and housekeeping inspections to ensure the home has been cleaned properly and inspect for any maintenance that may need addressed. You will receive communications from us about issues that arise and progress reports of the work. We even provide monthly panoramic shots of your home so that you can see your home between visits.

And finally, if problems arise at your home we are on call 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. Our local team of housekeepers, handymen, and other service providers are experienced and licensed to resolve the issue. We inspect the vendor’s work to ensure it was completed to our highest standards.

We Have High Cleaning Standards

We pay our housekeepers higher than the industry standard and provide training to ensure that they meet our high expectations. Our teams are given thorough check-lists and we make sure your home has the proper number of housekeepers to get the job done correctly.

Your home is inspected after each cleaning both for cleanliness and for presentation. We make sure they have the tools they need to properly clean your home. Additional housekeeping teams are set on a rotational home schedule to perform extra cleaning tasks such as reorganization of the kitchen. A pre-arrival dust clean and detailed deep cleans are performed in the off-season.

Your home is supplied with luxury linens and spa quality bath amenities. Linens are professionally laundered off site, which saves on your utility bills and appliance wear.
