We specialize in managing and marketing short term vacation rentals in the Alligator Point area.  As the owners of several area vacation rental properties ourselves, we understand what it takes to successfully manage a property.  We treat all of the managed properties as if they were our own.

We provide an eye-catching exterior sign on your home to identify it as a vacation rental as well as for marketing purposes. We get many calls and compliments on our bright signs. We also include a guest information book in the property filled with helpful information such as guest services, phone numbers for attractions, activities, and equipment rentals and other tourist information. We post rules, check out instructions, and emergency contact numbers in your home. Our guests are very appreciative of all the useful information provided along with their vacation rental.

We are here to protect your property. All guests are required to sign a rental agreement, and review the policies. We primarily rent to families or adult groups over the age of 25. Some preventative measures we include in our agreement are not allowing house parties, not allowing the number of guests to exceed the published capacity of the home, and not renting to student groups under the age of 25. We do everything we can to protect your home and your investment.

Although sales in the Alligator Point area remain slow as compared to the past few years, vacation rentals had strong occupancy this season. On some busy weekends all of the rentals that we manage were occupied. Even our most expensive vacation rentals with weekly rents of over $2,000 per week had strong occupancy.

Harbor Point takes special pride in managing our vacation rentals and treating them as if they are our own. We offer over 25 vacation properties ranging from Gulf to Bay and canal homes with boat access to interior homes in the Bald Point area. Prices range from $700 to over $2,000 a week during our peak season.

Because everyone who works with Harbor Point Realty lives on Alligator Point one of us drives by every managed property almost everyday. We take care of overturned trash cans, overgrown lawns and leaking water pipes right away.

Harbor Point is proud of our new rental management software that integrates with our website and provides real time availability calendars as well as credit card processing. Potential guests can send a specific rental request directly from our webpage that becomes a reservation once our manager confirms the information. Owners of our vacation rental houses can log into a special section of our website to make their own reservations and check the status of their properties. Additionally, our system allows us to electronically manage the cleaning and maintenance of each property as well as the monthly income statements to owners.

Harbor Point Realty advertises online through search engine placement as well as Visit Florida, which is the state's tourism development agency. Reservations are also generated through periodic mailings to all past rental guests.
