Maximize Bookings, Exceed Expectations

About UMB Vacations – A Smarter Approach to Vacation Rental Management

With over 30 years of combined experience in vacation rentals and hospitality, UMB Vacations is redefining short-term rental management in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Unlike traditional franchise models that leave owners with generic systems and little support, we’ve built a hands-on, departmentalized structure that empowers motivated entrepreneurs with the tools, training, and guidance needed to succeed in a competitive market.

Property Management That Delivers

We identified major gaps in typical rental programs—poor communication and remote oversight that lead to underperformance. Our approach is different. Our local property managers handle on-site inspections, cleaning coordination, maintenance, and serve as the go-to contact for owners and guests. No task is missed, and no property is left unattended.

Focused on Your Success

We believe exceptional guest experiences start with strong owner support. By giving our managers the capacity to focus on service—not just operations—we build lasting value through higher performance, more repeat bookings, and 5-star reviews.
