Any advice on reputable vaca management companies.

Great question. Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) has several reputable vacation rental management companies to consider, depending on how “hands-on” or full-service you want to be. Below are some trusted companies—plus things to watch out for given IRB’s short-term rental regulations.

Reputable Vacation Rental / Property Management Companies in Indian Rocks Beach

  • The Seaside Property Shoppe — Based right in Indian Rocks Beach. They’ve got over 20 years of experience and manage a wide variety of vacation homes from modest beach cottages to higher-end properties.
  • Plumlee Gulf Beach Realty / Plumlee Vacation Rentals — Very well-established in IRB (35+ years) and known for local expertise. Their vacation rental management is full-service, with in-house maintenance, guest services, and a solid owner portal.
  • iTrip Clearwater / Pinellas Vacation Rentals — Part of the iTrip network, focused on short-term rental performance. They handle marketing, bookings (on major OTA channels), light maintenance, and optimize pricing year-round.
  • IRB Property Management Group (IRB PMG) — Local to Indian Rocks Beach. Because they are based in IRB, they tend to be very responsive and have strong local knowledge.
  • Beaches USA Rentals & Management — Family-owned, offers dynamic pricing, 24/7 maintenance, owner portals, and a guest concierge.
  • Tourtelot Property Management — Very experienced (since 1928 in the area). They manage vacation and long-term rentals, with good marketing, 24/7 maintenance support, and an online owner portal.
  • Hemlane — A more flexible, tech-driven model. If you want to automate many aspects (bookings, maintenance requests, leasing) but still maintain oversight, Hemlane is a solid choice.
  • Indian Rocks Rentals, LLC — Focused specifically on furnished vacation homes and beach houses in IRB. Good reputation and strong local presence.

Important Local Considerations

  • The City of Indian Rocks Beach has a short-term rental ordinance (Ordinance 2023-02) that requires vacation rentals to register and pass inspections.
  • Make sure any property management company you work with is compliant with IRB’s regulations—they should help you maintain compliance and handle licensing/registration properly.
  • Because of these regulations, using a locally based or very experienced management company (like Plumlee or IRB PMG) can make compliance easier and more reliable.

My Recommendation

If I were a property owner in IRB looking for a trustworthy manager for a vacation rental, I’d lean toward Plumlee Vacation Rentals or IRB Property Management Group: both are deeply rooted in the community and have demonstrated longevity and local expertise. If I wanted something more automated but still reliable, iTrip Clearwater or Beaches USA would be solid picks.
