Airbnb Property Management Deerfield Beach

Yes. Deerfield Beach requires that any unit/property that will be operated within the city as a rental will need to apply for a Rental Property License from the city, state and county. “It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a vacation rental within the corporate limits of the city without first registering the vacation rental with the planning and development services department in accordance with the requirements”  The Rental Application helps to ensure the rental unit(s) meet and maintain the housing standards implemented by the city. Hosts will also need to make sure that all of their properties must be in accordance with city and county bylaws maintaining a high standard of both interior and exterior property maintenance. 

The City of Deerfield Beach defines a short-term rental as any unit or group of units in a condominium, cooperative, or individually or collectively owned single-family or multi-family house that is rented to guests more than three times per year for periods of less than 30 days or one calendar month. Any stay that is within the duration of 180 days (or 6 consecutive months) will be considered a short-term rental as well by definition of the State of Florida and will be required to follow the same taxation and regulations as one for less than a month.

It certainly depends on property and location. Deerfield Beach is a market that sees traffic year round. The geographical location of the city offers up unbeatable weather, shopping, food, arts and culture as well as being a short drive from one of the premier destinations for entertainment and tourism in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. The average nightly rate for an entire unit ranges from $175-$350 with luxury units being in the $600+ per night range. Estimates would suggest the property could generate $2750+ a month with proper management and upkeep.

Deerfield Beach is best known for its award-winning “Blue Wave” beach, recognized for its cleanliness, safety and excellent water quality. Its iconic international fishing pier stretches over half a mile into the Atlantic Ocean, offering both amazing fishing and views. The waterfront parks and the Quiet Waters Park – with its camping grounds, water skiing, and natural trails provide the city with year round recreation. Paired with the small town atmosphere, lively waterfront dining and proximity to Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach delivers an eclectic mix of coastal charm and convenience that keeps visitors coming back. 

Deerfield Beach’s strong rental appeal lies in its combination of consistent tourism, family friendly environment, and affordability compared to other coastal cities in Florida. The city’s “Blue Wave” beach and family oriented recreational attractions drive a steady stream of short-term rental demand, while seasonal “snowbirds” from northern states and even Canada create a reliable longer term rental market. Its location along the I-95 provides easy access to international airports further expanding the rental base. This balance of travelers, seasonal renters and long-term visitors make Deerfield Beach a strong and well-rounded market for hosts and investors. 

We take on properties that are going to be attractive to people coming into town for a short term or monthly rental. We try to focus on nicer homes or condos that allow short term rentals or rentals of at least one to three months. A big part of the short term rental guest experience is the condition of the property. Even if a home or condo is in the best location in the city, it’s important that it’s well kept in order to avoid guest issues. Airbnb management is about making guests happy and a great experience is dependent on both a five star service and a great property.

Our clients typically have a long term mindset towards working with us. We’re focused on providing an excellent service managing our clients properties on Airbnb and other short term rental platforms.  Short term rental management is a service that requires a lot of mutual trust, and we want to work with people who want to build a relationship that lasts.

We’re a local company focused on building lifetime relationships within the community. While we have clients who have been with us over a decade, we also understand people’s situations change and they may need to sell the home or stop renting it out. It’s common for former clients to refer their family or friends or come back after years with a different property. Our mindset is once a client, always a client. While our community of homeowners is local, our community of guests is global. It’s an honor to be able to work with our clients who share their homes with people all over the world and enrich their experiences travelling to the city. 

There are many different ways a property owner can find someone to manage their property on Airbnb and other short term rental platforms. If you have a friend who works with an Airbnb management company you can ask them if you are happy with their service and ask them to refer you. Some property owners do their research online and find a company that is the best fit for them. Everyone has their own method for selecting a company that is the best fit for their personal goals.

The model for most Airbnb management companies is a commission percentage taken based on each booking. Some companies provide solely online short term rental management services, while others provide a full service model. The full service model is typically more hands on and a higher commission compared to the online model. The online model is great for hosts who want to be actively involved on the ground but need help with generating and optimizing bookings. As a local Airbnb management company in Deerfield Beach we provide both full service and online only services depending on our clients needs.

• Do I need a licence to operate a rental in Deerfield Beach?

The first step is to create an attractive Airbnb listing you’re proud of on short-term rental platforms. An attractive listing features professional photos and a well written description of the property and the surrounding areas. Next a pricing strategy that factors demand across seasons should be implemented. We do our best to employ a pricing strategy that is a good fit for our clients depending on their goals. Once bookings are coming in, we arrange to ensure the property is clean and well maintained as well as provide guests recommendations to enhance their overall experience.
