Welcome to our Vacation Rental web site. My name is Steve Milo and my wife and I stay in Vacation Rental Homes when we travel. We own several vacation rental homes and listen carefully to our guests and their feedback! Our greatest compliment is when our guests refer our web site to their friends and relatives.

Our guests and their great "word of mouth" have helped us expand to over 140 vacation rentals. (See just a few of their comments below. More are on each individual homes).

AND, now I am managing other people's properties in the Venice Florida and Palm Coast Florida and I continue to pick up new listings through word of mouth.  ( Property owners please email me at stevemilo@yahoo.com or call me at 904-707-1487 to discuss my property management services. )

I bought my first vacation home in Florida in 2002. Since that time, I have bought many more vacation rental properties by listening to my guests and their feedback. My guests have told me they want bigger homes so that their children, grand children and friends can join them. I listened to them and now have several 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom homes and even one 5 bedroom house.

Some of my guests have told me they want a selection of homes that are pet friendly. And some of my guests have told me they need high speed and wireless Internet service. Once again, I listened to their advice.

My guests have told me they want heated pools. And, when I put in solar panel heaters - my guests have told me they didn't heat enough during the winter. So, I listened to them and put in electric heaters for the pools.

All along the way, I have listened to my guests and their comments both good and bad. Thanks to my guests and their great word of mouth, I was able to leave my "day job".

I now own a property management company called Vacation Rental Pros Property Management, LLC and am selectively adding properties that meet my standards for amenities.

As you can see, our web site has over 140 vacation rental homes and condos. Even with over 140 vacation rentals, we continue to have more and more repeat bookings. In fact, many of our rentals are filling up already for 2008.

I hope you enjoy reviewing our web site for the right vacation home for you and your family. Please do call me on my phone at 904-707-1487 or email me at stevemilo@yahoo.com . This is an important decision to rent a home or condo. So, it is important you trust who you are renting from.

Vacation Rental Pros Palm Coast Property Management and Venice Florida Rental Management handles full service rentals in Flagler County including renting Ocean Hammock, Cinnamon Beach, Canopy Walk, Tidelands and Surf Club as well as Venice Florida, Siesta Key, Englewood FL and Nokomis FL in Sarasota Florida.

My name is Steve Milo and I own a full service property management company that is now managing over 140 vacations rentals.
 
I have built my business through "word of mouth" and through Internet marketing - especially the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.  

Based on my own personal experience and references from other owners who I manage, I am achieving superior occupancy rates (see below for references).

Just to give you a little background, I personally own 17 rental properties on the West Coast of Florida that I personally manage and market.  

So, I've been managing my own vacation rentals for over 5 years.   Prior to that, I worked full time in the software and Internet Marketing industry and ran an e-commerce marketing division for a very large company.   I left my "day job" in August 2005, to pursue my passion in real estate and vacation rentals.  
 
I've learned the Vacation Rental business by managing my own vacation rental properties.   I've now used my Internet marketing background to create a very effective rental business for the Palm Coast Florida and Venice Florida area.

One question property owners in Palm Coast Florida and Venice Florida always ask is why are my occupancy rates so much higher than other companies?

Well, travel is a huge business on the Internet.  But, most companies (even the large ones) have limited experience in knowing how to effectively market to travelers on the Internet.   So, how am I different?
 
First, I also personally own two web sites which generate a tremendous amount of traffic and inquiries every single day through the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
 
Second, I have spent thousands of dollars every single month in targeted advertising and am on over 50 online travel directories.   

Third, I spend a lot of time on the copy and photos of every single home and condo I manage.   I personally take all the photos and write the copy.   The photos and copy are critical for travelers, and I think the time and effort I put into them pays off.  ( Check out some of my listings.)
 
My main web site is http://www.vacationrentalpros.com/ and averages close to 500 unique visitors every single day.   
 
My other web site is "pet friendly" and averages 1,000 visitors per day.   I only list "pet friendly" condos or homes on this site.  You can see it at http://www.petvacationhomes.com/

I have the highest praise personally and professionally for Steve Milo and his associates at Vacation Rental Pros. Their attention to detail is superb and I believe it all flows from the top.

From A to Z: accounting, aggressive pricing, booking, customer service availability and quality, management, quality control, special assistance, and you name it, all leads ultimately to a hands off, hassle free, highly profitable experience.

I have no reservations in highly recommending the services of Vacation Rental Pros. If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask Steve for my contact information.

Steve Milo came to us in the same way that I come to you, by letter introducing himself and his company to us. Initially, we were skeptical thinking just another rental company, but decided to give him a try since we had very slow rentals. I'm so glad we did!

Steve began managing our oceanfront condo in early April 2007. Our condo has been rented 80% of the short time that he's taken over. It's been very refreshing to work with someone that really cares about his reputation and I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and sincere. He is our eyes and ears in Florida when we can't be there. We are from the Annapolis, Maryland area. If you contact him with a concern or question he doesn't return your call the next day, he returns it within the hour. Wow!

I would not hesitate to recommend Vacation Rental Pros Property Managers to other Cinnamon Beach owners.

My experience with Steve Milo and his company, Vacation Rental Pros, has far exceeded my expectations. I have several rental properties on both Florida coasts. In the past, management of these properties, as well as rental income, have been disappointing.

I am very impressed with Steve's entire management process, specifically, attention to detail, marketing skills, and organization. That process, I believe, has attributed greatly to the tremendous increase in income from the properties Steve is now managing for me. He is a hands-on manager, but will delegate to his team , when necessary. He has always been prompt to answer any questions that arise, and is very helpful with conflict resolutions.

My greatest wish is that he will someday manage properties in the panhandle, as well.

Joyce Beaty, Kennesaw, GA - owner of Cinnamon Beach 932  

I have been working with Steve Milo and his company for almost a year now. I have worked with other companies in the past, none of which have come close to approaching Steve's company in bookings, timeliness, or honesty. Steve has a hands-on approach to running his company. He has displayed the highest level of integrity.

Bookings are more than double that achieved by any of my previous companies. Monthly payments arrive in a timely manner, and concerns are addressed rapidly. Steve has a group of honest and highly efficient staff working for him. His subcontractors, such have the AC company he uses, have done excellent work.

I give my highest level of recommendation to Steve and his company. I have no doubt that you will be extremely pleased with your decision if you decide to work with Steve's company. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can answer any further questions for you.

We have used Vacation Rentals Pros since October of 2006 for both of our Cinnamon Beach condos . After being disappointed by other rental agency services and empty promises we decided to switch to Steve Milo's service. Steve talked in detail with us about his business philosophy, service offering as well as projected forecast of rental income.

Thus far we have been very pleased with the bookings and rentals rates. We are ahead of revenue projections and confident this should continue to grow in the future. Steve has put in place a very good quality inspection service as well as preventive maintenance program. The communication from his staff of condo items that should to be replaced, repaired, etc. is great. This provides peace of mind that our condos are being cared for in a professional manner especially since we live far away from Palm Coast.

I have also been impressed with Steve's determination to insure the Rental Owners "voice" is being heard at the Condo Association Boards and Condo Association Management Company. This has proven to be very beneficial for up to date communication. We would highly recommend Vacation Rental Pros!

Working with Steve at Vacation has been an outstanding experience right from the start. Steve and him team have exceeded my expectation renting my unit. They have also don a great job keeping the unit in great shape and taking care of the difficult to deal with maintence issues. He and his team are pro active and make owning and renting a condo an easy an pleasant experience. I highly recommend vacation rental Pro's.

Steve Milo and Vacation Rental Pros have exceeded my lofty expectations in almost every way. My family and I use our Cinnamon Beach condominium as a regular vacation oasis. As a result, we were looking for a company that would not only provide regular rental income but also care for our home away from home.

Every time we visit our condominium it reaffirms our decision to work with Steve and Vacation Rental Pros. Our unit is well maintained, clean and has the appearance of a brand new unit. This is quite impressive considering that unit bookings have exceeded our expectations. Steve has allowed us to stop worrying about the care and management of our property when we are in between family vacations.

Andy Pratt, Troy, OH, owner of Cinnamon Beach #242

I wish to express our gratitude on our 18 month of doing business with Vacation Rental Pros. Our experience to date has been a very positive experience and we have wished that we had signed up earlier. Thank you again and look forward for our continued success.

Tony Pezzulo, Naples Florida, Cinnamon Beach Unit 761.

Steve Milo has been managing my condo for the past year. I have found Steve to be very professional in every aspect of his business. His accounting statements are meticulous. His pricing of the rentals is appropriate and I believe that he has maximized the rental potential. When minor repairs were needed in my unit he took care of it quickly. He stays on top of the local politics of the condo association and he was instrumental in stopping some policies that would have been detrimental to the rental program. I think that his fees are very reasonable especially compared to my previous experience with Destination Resorts.

I give Steve Milo my strongest recommendation. Do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Ed Fobben, Chatham, NJ, - owner of Cinnamon Beach 655

I began with another property management company and they had very few bookings for my condos.   I contracted with Steve Milo's company in early 2006 and in short order he had both of my condos practically booked solid with weekly rentals.   
 
I recently made a decision to sell one of my condos (unit 1064) and the booking revenues from the condo was a motivating reason for the buyers who bought my unit.   
 
I would not hesitate to recommend Vacation Rental Pros Property Managers to other owners.   

Bernard Frazer (owner of unit 1062), London England    


Steve Milo came to us over the balcony!  My wife and I are living in unit #1061, a Cinnamon Beach lakeside condo unit, while our house in St. Augustine is being built.   We have been enjoying the incredible sunsets, the alligators, fish and turtles while noticing that the condo next to us was constantly being rented.  This aroused our curiosity as we owned two units in Cinnamon Beach and had not had a successful rental experience with either.   We chatted with our new neighbors, and they shared Steve's name and contact information with us.
 
I contacted Steve in early April, and he began managing my oceanfront unit on May 1st, 2006.  Since that time, he has rented the condo 17 out of the 18 weeks.  I have met Steve on several occasions and have found him knowledgeable about real estate both here in the Palm Coast, the west coast of Florida and the national market, a very personable young man.
 
The good news is the communication both by phone and email about the rentals.  The better new is that our income disbursement check arrives promptly each month without a phone call.
 
For those of you who are looking for a new rental agent, I highly recommend Steve Milo and his company Vacation Rental Pros Property Managers LLC.
