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.

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!

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.

Keep in mind I had had multiple phone conversations, we confirmed a one month rental while we waited to close on our house, and everything seemed on the up and up. Then they said we hadn't informed them there would be dogs and there was a pet fee. I replied oh yes I did, it was the first email I sent and the first conversation we had in late June. They said well whatever we are charging you. I said no, I told you about the dogs, and we negotiated the month long rental fee which I agreed to pay, and you already knew about the dogs so I assumed it was in that total amount. Then came the rudeness, the gaslighting, and shutting me down. They are not interested at all in customer service, even though I have in writing that I informed them of the dogs. The dogs were part of the deal from the beginning. They charged the card they had on file without my approval and with no additional paperwork signed. On their invoice, it tells you you can go to YapStone Inc if you have complaints about the charges. I did, and followed the info to Florida. The number they tell you to call for Yap immediately is picked up and hangs up on you. So clearly not a legit business number. They also give you a number for Florida Office of Financial Regulation, but THAT number is a scam trying to sell me fake Medicare. Wow wow wow. So now not only do I think the company is just unethical and rude, but I am wondering if this is a fraud scheme from top to bottom because their payment processing company clearly isn't a legit business. There are lots of rentals in Florida folks, look elsewhere and get it from a mom and pop owner who won't scam you like this.

Vacation Renters Beware! We booked and paid for a vacation rental 3 months in advance, had a…read moresigned contract for the rental, received multiple confirmation emails and phone calls... then got a phone call 3 days before check-in that our "rental was double-booked" and they needed to move us to a different rental. There were not any comparable units available with the key elements of the unit we had already paid for - updated furnishings, sleeps 6, a pool and across the street from the beach, and they didn't offer a discount for these "less than" alternatives. They did refund my money, including all the "add on fees" that added over $500 to our 3-day rental price... and blamed it on the owner of the unit. NOT an honest and just business practice. Book with another vacation rental agency so you don't get stranded like we did!

DO NOT HIRE. We hired Gulf Coast Property Management,…read morespecifically speaking to AnnMarie, to lease and manage our rental property in Fort Myers beginning in January 2026. The property remained vacant for over four months while under their management. During that time, the property was reportedly shown only twice. Despite the extended vacancy, we received very little communication beyond automated weekly emails stating there were "no updates" and "no recommendations at this time." I had to repeatedly request information regarding marketing efforts, showing activity, tenant feedback, and ANY recommendations to improve leasing performance. We were willing to adjust pricing and make changes if necessary, but we provided with absolutely no proactive guidance - guidance you would expect from a professional property management company. On top of that, our new property manager went out today and discovered that the utilities had never been turned on and there was mouse/lizard droppings throughout the home. We trusted Guld Coast to help us rent and take care of this home as we are located out of state. They wasted 4 months of our time and thousands of dollars. This company is a scam and will not take care of your property.

A WAVE FROM IT ALL - 404 Spring Ave:…read more Pros - Bedrooms/bathrooms (except half bath, see below) - Location Cons - Half bath lock mechanism was difficult to engage. - Kitchen utensils were in dire need of replacement; pots and pans were scratched and warped, knives were dull, plastic plates and bowls had seen better days. Fridge temp was set at 36 degrees. Didn't discover this until the next day after we stocked fridge. Everything on top 2 shelves froze - fruit was unusable afterwards. - The only beach equipment provided were 6 chairs, all the low-to-the- ground type, and one small, worn out beach cart. No beach umbrella. We called about this: They said "Too bad, that's what you get." Had to rent our own regular height beach chairs, a decent beach cart, a cooler, beach toys, and beach umbrella. - Ping pong paddles were worn out, no balls provided; we had to buy some at Publix. - No outdoor shower or hose. Only hose present was hooked up to the pool, unable to disconnect. We had to wash sand off our feet from a faucet behind some bushes.

When I looked online and called the NEXT MORNING, the price went up $1,400.00!! I asked if they would honor the price that I had from the night before and I had proof.. I was told if I could send in the pictures and time stamp of it they would honor that price since it was within 24 hours. I did. To my extreme disappointment, they did not. They offered 10% off... What a joke!! The guy that broke the news to me was nice about it (not his fault). Apparently there are no managers to speak to and no one to talk to in the revenue dept (who ultimately made this decision). It is unfortunate they would rather lose your business and potential rental income for someone. Be aware that apparently their prices change DAILY. Clearly it is profit over customer service.

For many years, my husband and I have rented on AMI. This year we rented AMI BEACH HOME through…read moreDuncan for two months. This is considered a premier rental. We will NEVER rent this house again. For starters, the kitchen was minimally stocked... Just the required pots, pans, dishes and glassware, but NO serving dishes, platters, etc. We assume their personal serving pieces were in several kitchen cabinets that were locked. MORE importantly, the owners live in a different country, and manage the electrical system for AMI Beach Home from their home abroad. We were UNABLE to use the SPA for several days while the problem was being DISTANTLY resolved. The MOST significant issue was that we were WITHOUT Wi-Fi for six days, a MAJOR inconvenience to us during our stay . After almost a week of the owner trying to fix the problem from abroad, it was finally resolved. To compensate us for our inconvenience at this premier rental, the owners reluctantly but finally agreed to compensate us with a " small gift card to a local restaurant" I will end by saying that my husband and I found this "compensation gift" AN INSULT as we were paying $700+ per night for this premier property Respectfully submitted , Bennett Prichard

The shop is about 2 weeks out but we got a call a few days later and Bob wanted to know how the weather was at our house. We had blue skies so they asked if they could do our gutters. Definitely! They had a job scheduled but there was rain there. They arrived, set up and started making the custom seamless gutters. It was amazing to see. They make it the entire length they need so there are no seams for leaks. They finished the job in one day. The gutters look great, too. We only had a spot where water got through behind the gutter. Delfino came out and fixed it quickly. We have such heavy rains getting close to 4 inches one day so gutters are essential to keep the ground around the house dry. These gutters did the trick.
