Place To Be Rentals is a local, owner-operated vacation rental management and co-hosting company serving Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. We manage Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct-booking rentals for owners who want a high-end beach home cared for properly and earning its potential — without becoming a second job.
We currently operate four homes in Ponte Vedra Beach — Twin Palms, Seaside Paradise, Salt Air — Castle by the Sea, and Endless Summer — two of which we manage for their owners. Together they have earned more than 300 five-star guest reviews, each with Airbnb Superhost status.
A full-service vacation rental manager runs the home end to end: listing setup and photography, nightly pricing, guest screening and messaging seven days a week, professional cleaning and turnovers, maintenance, and keeping county and state registrations current. In Ponte Vedra that also means protecting the home — screening guests carefully, respecting HOA rules, and keeping neighbors happy.
Ponte Vedra demand peaks around summer beach season, spring break, and THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass every March, when homes near the course book out early at premium rates. Guests here skew toward families, golf groups, and wedding and event parties. We price every night individually with dynamic pricing software plus our own data on what comparable Ponte Vedra homes actually book for, so the home captures event-week rates without sitting empty in the shoulder seasons.
Most of Ponte Vedra Beach lies in unincorporated St. Johns County, which has regulated short-term vacation rentals since 2021: homes register with the county each year and must meet occupancy, parking, trash, and safety standards. Stays carry St. Johns County’s 5% tourist development tax on top of Florida sales tax, and the home needs a Florida DBPR vacation rental license.
HOA rules matter just as much here — many Ponte Vedra communities restrict or prohibit rentals under a minimum length — so we review the HOA documents and confirm the current county requirements for your specific home before it goes live.
With a national brand, your Ponte Vedra home is one listing in a call-center queue. We live and work at the First Coast beaches and run our own homes here, so owners talk directly to the people making decisions about their property. We also run our own direct-booking site, so your calendar isn’t dependent on Airbnb’s algorithm and fees alone.
