Experienced, hands-on owners John and Hazel Blankenship have been in the real estate development and management business for over 30 years and are vacation rental owners themselves. They created the company a year ago when their own Santa Barbara beach house was mismanaged by another vacation rental management company. Which means, of course, that they know exactly what it takes to keep owners and renters happy. 2. Long-time Santa Barbara residents Over 30 years living in Santa Barbara, the Blankenships have established a sterling reputation professionally. Their inventory of vacation rentals in Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas grew from four to 20 in during their first year in business. They also have broad-based connections within the community, so they can get a vetted electrician or plumbers out within 24 hours. And they know Santa Barbara. Every Santa Barbara beach house in their inventory has a guest binder with insider detail on the variety of local activities and attractions. Ask for personal recommendations (and reservations) at Santa Barbara restaurants or tours of Santa Barbara wineries. 3. A staff of seven to cover all the bases “We pride ourselves on being available, responsive, and accommodating,” Hazel says. “Some management companies have one or two people on staff. It’s just physically impossible to run a business that’s so detail-oriented with just one or two people,” Hazel says. The staff of Santa Barbara Beach Rentals: • Takes time to match prospective renters with the right home • Updates rental calendars weekly (this can be a problem on owner listing sites) • Checks each Santa Barbara beach house before, after and between guest stays • Helps during your visit (If you can’t get the satellite TV to work, they’ll come and show you) • Conducts necessary maintenance (Unlike most vacation rental management companies, Santa Barbara Beach Rentals holds California contractor's license and employers a part-time contractor and handyman.) • Handles requests and emergencies 24/7 • Arranges for flowers, wine and concierge services on request Back to the top of When You Want a Luxury Santa Barbara Beach House
