Robert and Janet R Bradenton, FL…read moreTwo years ago, my wife and I decided that it was time to move to Florida. We wanted to rent in the Sarasota area but found places were going very fast! Then we came upon a rental from Florida West Coast Property Management and got in contact with Aimee Bahk. We knew we had to move quickly and Aimee helped get us through the process with ease! Aimee was friendly and professional. She knew the steps we were required to take for us to be approved as renters. Aimee quickly responded to any questions we had during the process. Once our move was successful, Aimee continued to keep in touch. We only had a couple of maintenance issues, which we considered normal, so we notified Aimee. Her response was fantastic! Aimee quickly got the help we needed for the repairs. On more than one occasion, Aimee would say "I appreciate you" as tenants. Well, we appreciate Aimee and want to thank her for all she has done to make our dream a reality!

We have been renting-out our Bradenton condo since 2008 and up until switching to Florida West…read moreCoast Property Managers about a year and a half ago, had a dreadful experience. You might say we were in an unhealthy, co-dependent relationship with our former management company. As in most relationships, it took a crisis for us to realize how badly our former manager was; our former tenant basically sold the property furniture out from under us and the manager claimed ignorance. Anyway, I digress. We were fortunate to have been referred to Florida West Coast Property Managers ("FWCPM") by a realtor when we were considering selling our property. The difference between our former management company and FWCPM could not be greater. Our manager Aimee Bahk is professional, courteous, and a delight to work with. She has helped us through many difficult situations such as finding new tenants and managing repair and installation work orders. If you are in need of excellent management for your rental property on the Florida west coast, look no further than the staff at Florida West Coast Property Management.

Eventually we got referred to Gulf Income Properties by a good friend and Terrence and Jason quickly swooped in to pick up where the other company left off, they've made repairs and improvements that we wouldn't have thought about, and in short order found tenants for us, and communicated constantly throughout the process! Can't recommend them enough! Jason and Terrence have been great and I'm so happy we found them.

If you are an owner considering working with Gulf Coast Property Management find someone else. This…read morecompany is absolutely awful. I am a neighbor of an airbnb they manage. They are completely non responsive to problems with their renters, they don't care who they put in the house so there have been several parties, large numbers of vehicles, loud music, people roaming in our yard and police coming to shut it down, most recently Memorial Day Weekend. This is a residential neighborhood but Gulf Coast really doesn't care. They don't qualify the tenants so there are often many more people than the house is supposed to hold. After the last hurricane the home was in terrible shape and it was more than two weeks before we ever saw anyone from the property management company to clean up all the debris. At that point I actually texted the owner of the home. This company is a disgrace, not someone you would want to be handling your income property or second home.

The place to call when looking for a beach rental on Anna Maria Island!…read more I've had several experiences renting from Gulf Bay Realty when visiting Anna Maria Island and all of them have been top notch! It's always such a pleasant experience working with Zita and she's really good at telling you exactly what your rental will look like, where it is and what's nearby. She's pointed me to really great restaurants and things to do on AMI. Plus, all the beach homes I've rented have been well-cared for! I'm sure their home-buying or selling experience is just as good. Jesse and Robin have been in the office on several occasions when I've visited and they're always friendly and professional.

Smoke & Mirrors Property! Moku is a dilapidated Joku! This property was not at all as advertised!…read moreFirst we were NEVER told we'd be required to push or pull a boat. Had we been, I would never even considered this property. Not one of us is over 120 lbs, i actually dislocated my upper rib & we are all covered in bruises from that ridiculous experience. My best friend pulled her right shoulder, we have driven boats before yet have never been asked to push or pull one lol. This was not a normal situation we were tossed into at all. Then to find out it was way more than occasionally we'd need to do this, as the pre papers said (that came only 5 days before check in), it was every single time we needed to leave. The back "deeper" dock wasn't even there for 3 days, it was GONE, Not just under construction as we were told on our way to pick up the boat to head over lol. That front dock is inadequate for the way those channels have shifted and every other dock over there is so much longer... I'm sure because they need to be so someone doesn't get hurt pushing a 22' pontoon boat! Private beach - is not at all as pictured. It's full of old palms & a mess. Dirty just like the inside of the house. If you advertise a beautiful beach, there should be one. Dilapidated & unkempt palm trees everywhere. I know i have them all over my yard except we have them trimmed regularly as you should. Our view has dangling brown branches & they were falling all over the deck. Wheelbarrow full of old water & a chainsaw - it's a shame at what shape this place is left in. Needed vacuum & mop immediately bc it was filthy - whole pieces of bacon & open bags of cookies were left behind on the floors so when we moved the couch a bit it was disgusting. - You absolutely did send them to us immediately & we definitely used. Old food & rotten ice cream left in downstairs fridge, so my mother & 80 year old aunt cleaned it out for you as she couldn't stand it being in there smelling up her food. Lol Water dumping from air vent in the downstairs master. The vent is covered in black & yellow substances. It reeks of mold in there. My mother has CPOD & after 3rd night finally realized she's having breathing attacks because of the air in there. She moved to the trundle upstairs but my aunt Donna had nowhere else to go so she eventually ended up in our closet upstairs on a mattress. We did notify Michale about the issue with the vents when he was there but he basically said someone would have to check it out. Which meant nothing lol. This same moldy Oder was in the main house most of the time so we needed to keep the doors open. Under the kitchen sink was also leaking & had a pile of rags stuffed under it... that had turned rancid & molded. We didn't see it till we were going nuts finally cleaning everything bc it was just so much at that point. As we had no reason to be under that sink till the garbage disposal stopped working. Hot water was insufficient - this property says accommodated 15. We couldn't fill the bathtub completely without the water turning cold. Yes, George absolutely fixed this when he came out the next day. Pool touch screen wasn't working Sonos never worked - we told Michael when he was out and he basically tried to connect to it and said it just doesn't work sometimes when he couldn't get it to work. No pool table - it just doesn't exist lol Broken dryer downstairs plus Broken washer & dryer upstairs - we didn't know until we went to do laundry because we didn't want to take the little bugs home in our laundry. Last night - no we did not opt to stay in another one of your air bnbs lol. After our experience we were in we chose to vacate & pay for a hotel. Where we could get served & everything worked!

Wagner failed to notify us of damages that occurred to the condo and allowed the renters to self fix without our approval citing that we agreed to allow them to manage the property "as they see fit". They charged us for "repairs" we did not agree to and did not approve. They took fees from our rental without an account reconciliation denoting what was taken from us. When we notified them we would not be using them again, they were very rude and abrasive. Highly recommend finding a more professional firm to manage your rental property.
