About Us
A local team, not a call center
Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals personally manages every home in our collection across Longboat Key, Lido Key, and St. Armands.
Our Approach
We treat every home like it's ours
From first inquiry to check-out, the same local team handles your booking, your questions, and, if you own on the Gulf Coast, the day-to-day management of your property. No corporate call center, no ticket queue: just people who live where you're staying.
Local, Hands-On
Our team is based on the Gulf Coast and knows every community we manage: Beachplace, The Pierre, Seaplace, and beyond.
58 Residences, One Standard
Every property is personally vetted and maintained to the same standard, whether it's a condo or a private estate.
Guests Who Return
A high repeat-guest rate, with many returning every season, is the result we're proudest of.
Florida Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals is run by Rick and Katie Benninghove, who personally handle every booking, check-in, and question across the collection, not a call center reading from a script. Rick brings 40 years of hospitality experience to that work, which shows up in the details guests notice most: a fast response, an honest answer, and a home that's exactly as described. That hands-on approach is why so many guests come back season after season, and why owners trust us to manage their properties on the Gulf Coast.
