How we ranked
The list includes every company we could confirm is actively offering home watch or second home care for absentee owners on 30A this month. Vacation rental managers are left out on purpose: they solve a different problem. Each company is judged on what an owner who lives out of town can check before hiring anyone:
- Published pricing. Can you see what it costs without a sales call?
- Price for the visit frequency most owners pick (bi-weekly and weekly).
- A report after every visit, stated plainly on the company's own site.
- A way to try the service first, like a free first visit.
- How local the company is to the homes it covers.
Google ratings are not compared, because we could not read them for every company from a source we can link. Every company here is a real local option, and the “best for” line under each one says who it fits. If you run one of these companies and something is out of date, email coastalhomemanagement30a@gmail.com and it gets corrected.
