Maximize Bookings, Exceed Expectations
About UMB Vacations – A Smarter Approach to Vacation Rental Management
At UMB Vacations, we bring over 30 years of combined experience in vacation rental management and hospitality to redefine how short-term rental operations are done — especially right here in Panama City Beach, Florida.
Unlike traditional franchise models that leave new owners to navigate uncertain outcomes, we’ve built a system that supports motivated entrepreneurs with the tools, training, and structure needed to succeed in a competitive industry. Our mission is to provide a clear, proven path for entering the short-term rental market with confidence and support.
Hands-On Property Management That Delivers Results
Through in-depth analysis of other short-term rental companies, we identified major gaps — including poor communication with owners and remote management practices that often overlook the physical condition of properties. We’ve solved that by building a departmentalized, hands-on management system that ensures no detail is missed.
Our local property managers perform on-site inspections, coordinate cleanings and maintenance, and act as the direct point of contact for both owners and guests. This structure ensures tasks are completed efficiently, communication is streamlined, and property performance stays strong year-round.
Our Focus Is Your Success
At UMB Vacations, we believe that owner satisfaction and guest experience go hand in hand. By giving our property managers the bandwidth to focus on service—not just logistics—we create lasting value for our clients and deliver exceptional guest stays that result in repeat bookings and 5-star reviews.
