We know there’s no shortage of property management options along the Gulf Coast — and that choosing the right partner for your investment can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together the top reasons why RVA stands out as the premier vacation rental management company in Florida’s Suncoast region.
With roots dating back to 1989, our locally based, experienced team has been turning vacation dreams into lifelong memories. Many of our renters have returned year after year, becoming more like family than guests — and some of our property owners have trusted us with their homes since day one.

Let’s start the conversation about your property’s future — we’d love the opportunity to earn your confidence.
1. Industry-Leading Website & Booking Technology
At RVAFL.com, your property gets the online presence it deserves. While many local companies rely on outdated websites with limited functionality, our platform is designed specifically for vacation rentals — offering a modern, mobile-friendly experience that makes booking fast and easy for guests. We’ve partnered with one of the top website providers in the vacation rental industry, ensuring your home is showcased with professional photography, detailed listings, and smooth navigation. Unlike most local competitors, we also provide online booking capabilities for both short-term and monthly stays — a rare and powerful advantage in today’s market. Your home will be positioned to attract more guests, secure more bookings, and generate more income — all with the ease of a tech-forward, guest-friendly interface.
2. The Suncoast’s Original Property Management Company
Since 1989, RVA has proudly managed vacation rentals from the same local office. With over 35 years of experience, we’ve built lasting relationships with owners and guests alike—making us the trusted choice on the Suncoast.
3. Cutting-Edge Technology That Maximizes Your Revenue
At RVA, we leverage a state-of-the-art reservation tracking system to capture powerful insights from both online and offline marketing. This smart technology helps us understand guest behavior, respond to inquiries faster, and convert more leads into bookings — ultimately driving higher occupancy and greater revenue for your property.
4. 24/7 Reservation Support by Real People
Our experienced, in-house team is available around the clock to answer guest inquiries and secure bookings — day or night. This 24/7 availability means we never miss an opportunity to convert interest into income, all while providing the high-touch service guests expect.
5. Exclusive Access to Cedars Tennis Resort & Club
RVA owners can offer their guests optional access (for a fee) to the prestigious Cedars Tennis Resort & Club — a unique perk that sets your property apart. Guests can enjoy 10 Har-Tru tennis courts (after 1 PM), updated pickleball courts, a Jr. Olympic pool, fitness center, on-site restaurant, and community bikes. It’s a true island advantage that enhances the guest experience and adds value to your rental.
6. Top-Tier Online Visibility That Drives Bookings
Unlike many local companies, RVA fully leverages search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising — the key tools in today’s digital landscape. As a result, we consistently rank at the top of Google for high-converting keywords, ensuring your property gets seen by more qualified guests, more often.
7. Strong Local Partnerships That Boost Visibility
RVA is deeply committed to supporting our local community and tourism network. We maintain strong, active partnerships with key organizations like the Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce, Visit Sarasota County, Siesta Key Chamber, Bradenton Area CVB, Anna Maria Island Chamber, and Visit Florida®.
These connections not only strengthen our community ties but also expand marketing reach and exposure for your property through trusted local and state-wide tourism channels.
8. In-House Marketing with Local Expertise
While many companies outsource their marketing due to budget or lack of expertise, RVA keeps it in-house and hands-on. This allows us to adjust strategies in real time, respond to market trends quickly, and make smarter decisions based on local knowledge of our properties and guests. With RVA, your marketing is agile, effective, and rooted in real experience—not guesswork from afar.
9. Premier Access to Top Booking Platforms
RVA has direct partnerships and preferred rankings with leading travel sites like Expedia®, Booking.com®, VRBO™, Airbnb®, and HomeAway® — a level of connectivity that no other local company can match. This means greater visibility, stronger placement, and more bookings for your property across the world’s most trusted vacation rental platforms.
10. Proactive Emergency Preparedness for Peace of Mind
RVA has a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in place to protect both your property and our guests during severe weather events. Our team regularly reviews and rehearses this plan, ensuring we’re ready to act swiftly and effectively. From storm prep to post-event follow-up, we keep open communication with owners via phone or email, so you’re always informed—no matter the situation.
