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 were 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 were mouse/lizard droppings throughout the home. We trusted Gulf 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.

We had a frustrating experience renting a vacation home from this property management company. The…read moreproperty was not properly prepared for our stay, and communication from the management company was unreliable throughout. The pool and outdoor areas had not been cleaned prior to arrival, making a key amenity unusable for the first portion of our trip. There were also issues with bedding that required multiple visits to resolve. Communication was inconsistent--we were told we would receive a call back regarding these issues on the first night, but that never happened and we had to follow up ourselves to get a response. Additionally, important details about the property setup (including a tenant on the property with visibility into the pool area) were not clearly disclosed during booking. While a partial refund was eventually issued, it did not feel proportionate to the disruption. Overall, this experience reflected inconsistent management and a lack of attention to detail.

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.
