The sharing economy in Florida is a growing trend that is raising eyebrows.

With the rise of companies like HomeAway®, VRBO® and Zipcar that emphasize the shared convenience and economic savings that come with the use of shared products, the question arises as to whether traditional business models can meet new competitive challenges posed by these upstarts. Insiders in the hotel business for example are quite worried about the rise of vacation rentals in the recreational and leisure travel segment. We recently ran a blog post on this related issue  on Florida vacation home rental laws  and if rentals are becoming too popular for their own good. The sharing economy in Florida has begun to raise eyebrows to be sure.

With the new changes in enacted by the Florida legislature, it is clear that vacation home owners must play by the rules or risk giving the entire industry a black eye. Whether it’s properly paying and accounting for sales taxes or abiding by local ordinances, vacation home owners must adapt to a new environment where traditional businesses and government entities are fighting back.

For several years, we have advocated doing business with professional management companies where neither of these issues is a worry.

The single best way to take advantage of the sharing economy in Florida is to rent from a professionally accredited vacation home management company with a proven track record of quality and excellence. All of the private homes that OVH 360 maintains in inventory for instance are in short term rental neighborhoods that approve of this practice.  We also suggest that you check on the Better Business Bureau rating as another consumer resource for any private homes you wish to rent.

One of the other big benefits associated with renting from a professional management company is the level of standards they offer.  All of the OVH 360 vacation rentals for example are hand picked for location, quality and in home amenities. The staff and team at Orlando Vacation Homes 360 are so positive that you’ll enjoy their homes that they now offer a satisfaction guarantee associated with each of their vacation rentals.
