- **Home Watch**, $300/month: Home Watch plan: everything in Essential with weekly visits instead of bi-weekly, plus appliance and plumbing checks and irrigation filter cleaning. Photos and a written report every visit. $300/month month-to-month, $285/month on a 6-month rate lock, or $270/month on a 12-month rate lock (billed monthly).
- **Coastal Elite**, $600/month: Our highest tier. Weekly visits with photos and a written report, storm and freeze checks, HVAC filter changes, pre-arrival prep, contractor coordination, guaranteed 2-hour emergency response, Ryder's direct line, plus Water Shutoff Protection alert response and the Annual Coverage Record included. Limited to 8 members. $600/month month-to-month, $570/month on a 6-month rate lock, or $540/month on a 12-month rate lock (billed monthly).
- **On-Call Property Tasks**, $100 (one-time / as-needed): One-off requests, contractor meeting, errands, random jobs. $100 flat per visit. No recurring commitment required.
- **On-Call Delivery**, $50/hour: Furniture, appliance or package delivery while you're away. We let the delivery crew in, wait on the window, and lock up after. Billed for the full delivery window: $50/hour for the first 4 hours, $25/hour after that. 2-hour minimum.
- **Mail & Trash Handling**, $35/day: Mail collection and/or trash takeout and return while you're away from your 30A property.
- **Water Shutoff Protection**, $1295 (one-time / as-needed): A smart automatic shutoff valve installed on your main water line by a licensed plumber. It closes the line by itself when it detects a burst or a running leak, and the alert routes to us so someone local goes to the house. $1,295 installed, then $35/month for alert response.
- **Annual Coverage Record**, $195 (one-time / as-needed): Once a year, every visit to your home compiled into one dated document: what was checked, what was found, and the photos, in order, including the areas that were dry. Delivered as a PDF you can forward to your insurance agent. $195/year.

Home watch is for owner-occupied second homes that sit empty between owner visits. This is a different service from short-term vacation rental management (booking, guest turnover, cleaning coordination), which Coastal Home Management 30A does not provide.

Every plan includes photos and a written report after each visit. Visit frequency is the main difference between plans: Essential is bi-weekly (every other week), Home Watch is weekly, and Coastal Elite visits are tailored to each home's needs rather than locked to every week. Visits are property checks and condition reports. They are not home inspections, which are a separately licensed profession in Florida.

## Storm Check
- [Storm Check](https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/storm-check): Storm prep before a named storm reaches 30A and a photo check of the home after it passes, for second-home owners who are out of town. $100 per storm, or $50 per storm for plan clients. Nothing is charged to sign up. No repair work: if something is damaged, the owner gets photos and a licensed contractor referral.

## Owner Guides (answer first)
### Who Closes Your Storm Shutters on 30A When You Are Not in Town
On Scenic 30A, storm shutters on a second home are closed by whoever the owner has lined up in advance: a home watch company, a property manager, or a neighbor. Most HOAs in Watersound, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach do not close them for owners. Coastal Home Management 30A closes every shutter type, including roll-down, accordion, Bermuda and bolt-on storm panels, through its Storm Check service: $100 per storm, or $50 for plan clients, with photos of the home after the storm passes. Owners sign up once before the season and nothing is charged until a storm is coming. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/storm-shutters-30a

### AC and Humidity Settings for an Empty 30A Second Home
An empty second home on Scenic 30A should keep the air conditioning running, set around 78 to 80°F, with indoor humidity held below 60 percent and ideally near 50. Turning the AC off, or letting an eco or away mode float the house past about 82°F, lets Gulf Coast humidity build fast enough to grow mold within days. The most common failure in a closed-up 30A house is a clogged AC condensate line, which shuts the system off or leaks into the ceiling. Coastal Home Management 30A checks the thermostat, humidity reading and condensate line on every home watch visit. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/ac-humidity-settings-30a-second-home

### Closing Up Your 30A Second Home: The Checklist
To close up a second home on Scenic 30A for weeks or a season: keep the AC on at 78 to 80°F with humidity under 60 percent, turn the water heater to vacation or off, shut the main water valve unless irrigation or a smart shutoff valve needs it open, empty or unplug the refrigerator, take out all trash, bring in or secure outdoor furniture during hurricane season (June 1 to November 30), stop or forward the mail, and leave a key, gate code and alarm code with someone local who will check the house on a schedule. Coastal Home Management 30A does these checks every week or every other week with photos after each visit. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/closing-your-30a-home-checklist

### Home Watch vs Property Management on 30A
On Scenic 30A, property management means running a rental: bookings, guests, cleaning turnovers and maintenance, paid as a percentage of rental income. Home watch means looking after a second home that is not rented: scheduled walkthroughs to catch leaks, AC failures, storm damage and pests, paid as a flat monthly fee. Owners who rent their home need a property manager. Owners who keep the home for their own use need home watch. Coastal Home Management 30A is a home watch company, not a vacation rental manager, with plans from $200 a month and photos after every visit. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/home-watch-vs-property-management-30a

### Property Managers on 30A: Who to Call for Your Second Home
On Scenic 30A, the right property manager depends on what the second home is for. Owners who rent it short term call a vacation rental manager such as 360 Blue, Oversee, Rosemary Beach's on-site program, Alys Beach's own rental program, 30A Beach Properties or, in Seaside, Homeowner's Collection. Owners who rent it by the year call a long-term manager such as Florida Long Term Rentals, Emerald Coast Rental Management or Coastal Realty Services. Owners who keep the home for themselves need home watch rather than property management: Coastal Home Management 30A, based in Watersound Origins, walks empty second homes every week or every other week and sends photos after each visit, from $200 a month. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/property-managers-30a

### Storm Prep for 30A Homeowners: What to Do Before a Hurricane
Storm prep for a home on Scenic 30A happens in the 48 hours after the National Hurricane Center issues a hurricane watch for the Panhandle coast and before winds reach about 40 mph. The outside comes first: bring in or tie down patio furniture, grills, planters and anything loose, close storm shutters, latch every door, window and the garage, and clear gutters and drains. Inside, unplug electronics, move valuables off the floor, set the refrigerator to its coldest setting, and photograph every room so there is a dated before record. Owners who are out of town use a local home watch company. Coastal Home Management 30A, based in Watersound Origins, preps homes from Inlet Beach to Rosemary Beach through its Storm Check service, and storm and freeze checks are part of its Coastal Elite plan. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/storm-prep-30a

### Hurricane Prep for a 30A Vacation Home You Are Not At
A vacation home on Scenic 30A gets prepped for a hurricane by someone local acting for the owner, usually a home watch company. The prep is the same as for a lived-in home: outdoor furniture in or tied down, shutters closed, doors, windows and the garage latched, electronics unplugged, and photos taken. The differences for an empty vacation home are what to shut off (many owners close the main water valve), what to leave on (refrigerator, and often the AC so the house does not sit humid if power holds), and who checks it after, since nobody will be there to notice a leak. Coastal Home Management 30A preps vacation and second homes from Inlet Beach to Rosemary Beach before a named storm and sends photos after it passes. Coastal Home Management 30A does not manage vacation rentals. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/vacation-home-storm-prep-30a

### Who to Call to Prep Your 30A Second Home for a Hurricane
To get a second home or vacation home on Scenic 30A prepped for a hurricane, call a local home watch company, the home's property manager if it has one, or a trusted neighbor. HOAs on 30A generally do not prep individual homes. Coastal Home Management 30A, owned by Ryder Schilling and based in Watersound Origins, preps second homes from Inlet Beach and Watersound to Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach before a named storm: outdoor items in or secured, shutters closed, doors, windows and garage latched, and dated photos. After the storm passes it walks the home and emails photos. Call or text (309) 415-8793, or sign up at coastalhomemngt30a.com/storm-check. The earlier the call, the better the odds of a spot. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/who-to-call-storm-prep-30a

### After Hurricane Isaias: Checking on Your 30A Second Home
After Hurricane Isaias, a second home on Scenic 30A should be checked as soon as Walton County reopens roads and it is safe to travel. The check covers every side of the house and the roof line from the ground, windows, doors and the garage, any water inside, ceilings for stains, the AC and indoor humidity, the refrigerator if power was out, and gutters, drains and the yard for debris. Every finding should be photographed with the date. Owners who are out of town have a local home watch company do the walkthrough. Coastal Home Management 30A, based in Watersound Origins, walks second homes from Inlet Beach to Rosemary Beach after a storm and emails dated photos with a written note the same day. Repairs go to licensed contractors. Source: https://coastalhomemngt30a.com/after-hurricane-isaias-30a
