Vacation Rental Property Management in Kentucky & Florida
Full-service short-term rental management from owners who actually operate their own portfolio. Serving Louisville, Bradenton, Indian Shores, and now Delray Beach.
We don’t just manage rentals. We own them.
Most property management companies have never hosted a guest in their life. We have. Bourbon City Rentals owns and operates a portfolio of short-term rental properties across Kentucky and Florida, from large-group beach houses in Bradenton to cottages in Indian Shores to homes in Louisville. Every system we use, every pricing decision we make, and every guest experience we design has been tested on our own properties first.
When you hand your home to us, you’re not getting a faceless agency running a playbook from a manual. You’re getting an operator who treats your property the way we treat our own: as a real business with real revenue on the line.
What full-service management means with us
We handle everything. You collect the income and keep ownership of your asset. That’s the deal.
Listing and distribution. We build and optimize your listings across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct booking channels, with professional descriptions, strategic photography guidance, and the kind of detail that turns browsers into bookings.
Dynamic pricing. We use professional revenue-management tools to price your property by season, demand, local events, and day of week, so you’re never leaving money on the table or sitting empty when you could be booked.
Guest communication. From first inquiry to checkout, we handle every message, question, and request, often within minutes. Responsive hosting is the single biggest driver of five-star reviews, and reviews are what keep a property booked.
Turnovers and maintenance coordination. We coordinate cleaning, restocking, and maintenance so your property stays guest-ready between every stay, and we catch small issues before they become expensive ones.
Reviews and reputation. We actively manage your property’s reputation across platforms, because a wall of five-star reviews is the most valuable marketing asset a rental can have.
A proven track record across our markets
Our portfolio spans some of the most competitive vacation rental markets in Kentucky and Florida, and our properties consistently perform. Our large-group homes book months in advance during peak season, earn top-tier reviews, and command strong nightly rates because of how they’re positioned and managed.
We won’t make vague promises about “maximizing your income.” Instead, when you reach out, we’ll walk you through exactly how properties in our portfolio perform and what we believe yours could do, based on real operating experience in your market.
The markets we serve
We focus where we have deep, hands-on experience:
Louisville, Kentucky (Jefferson County). Our home base, where we operate whole-home and multi-unit short-term rentals.
Bradenton, Florida (Manatee County). Large-group beach houses minutes from Anna Maria Island, a market we know intimately.
Indian Shores, Florida (Pinellas County). Beach cottages along the Gulf, a high-demand vacation destination.
Delray Beach, Florida (Palm Beach County). Our newest service area. We’re expanding into Palm Beach County and now accepting properties for management as we establish our presence here.
If your property sits in or near one of these markets, we’d love to talk. Because we operate our own homes in these areas, we bring local knowledge that out-of-market managers simply can’t match.
Why owners choose us over a big management company
We’re operators, not middlemen. We make our living the same way you want to: by running excellent short-term rentals. Our incentives are aligned with yours.
We’re responsive. The same fast, attentive communication that earns our properties five-star reviews is what you get as an owner. You’ll always know what’s happening with your home.
We’re selective. We take on a limited number of properties so each one gets real attention. Your home won’t be lost in a portfolio of hundreds.
We’re transparent. No confusing fee structures or surprise charges. Clear terms, clear communication, clear results.
Let’s talk about your property
If you own a vacation rental, or you’re thinking about turning a property into one, we’d like to hear about it. Tell us a bit about your home and your goals, and we’ll follow up to discuss how we can help and what your property could achieve.
