Increasing bookings with local expertise at Sterling Breeze
How Vacasa's tailored approach led to success in Panama City Beach
William's investment property is a slice of paradise—a waterfront condo on the 12th floor of Sterling Breeze, sitting just a quarter-mile from the famous Pier Park. With three bedrooms, three baths, and stunning amenities, it's the kind of property that should be in high demand.
Plus, William gives his guests options in terms of vacation style. The rental can be booked entirely for groups, as a romantic one-bedroom and bath with a kitchenette, or as a two-bedroom and two-bath accommodation for families.
As it was, William's previous property management company simply couldn't entice the bookings or pencil in the proper revenue, so he decided it was time to try something new.
Transitioning to a new property management company wasn't an easy decision. Given the underwhelming results delivered by William's previous partnership, he decided it was time to vet all prospects diligently to ensure he received the help he needed.
After thorough research, a decision surfaced after hearing the positive word-of-mouth experiences of his friends, who partnered with Vacasa to manage their Calypso Resort rentals. And while that feedback was enough to convince William to kick off the initial partnership, he needed results. Fast.
For William, proof of success reasonably relates to performance. After signing with Vacasa, he was ecstatic to see bookings increase immediately, particularly during slower travel seasons his prior management company couldn't reach.
"The fact that we already have a significant number of fall reservations highlights the difference—that's something we never experienced with our old management company," says William.
Vacasa's approach combines the best of both worlds: a dedicated local team that knows the Panama City Beach market inside and out, backed by the resources and technology of a national company. "Everyone I have dealt with has been professional, friendly, and efficient," William shares.
Collected together, William feels confident he made the right decision by choosing Vacasa as his property management partner.
"All I can say is that I am sold on Vacasa," William concludes.
