Your property.
our passion for hosting.
we are anchored in hospitality and dedicated to
making every stay unforgettable.
At Anchor Away Vacation Rentals, we believe your property deserves more than someone who simply handles reservations—it deserves a vacation host who genuinely cares about your home, your guests, and your investment. A great vacation host is responsive, attentive to the details, proactive about the property, and invested in creating an exceptional experience from the moment a guest books until the moment they leave. We have been hosting vacation rentals on Amelia Island for more than 13 years, giving us the experience and local knowledge to maximize your property’s potential while providing exceptional care for both your home and your guests. With more than 1,500 five-star reviews across Airbnb and VRBO, we’ve built a strong reputation for outstanding guest service, attention to detail, and successful vacation rentals.
We personally oversee every aspect of hosting your property, from marketing and reservations to guest communication, cleaning, maintenance, and everything in between. We are proactive about the details, quick to address issues, and committed to making sure your guests have a wonderful experience while keeping you informed about your property and its performance.
As an owner, we want you to arrive at your property for a visit and find everything taken care of—not a to-do list waiting for you. Your home should be clean, cared for, well maintained, and ready for you to simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your time on Amelia Island. We limited our portfolio of properties to ensure you and your property receive excellent care.
Our goal is to take the stress out of owning a vacation rental while helping you achieve the best possible return on your investment. We treat every property as if it were our own and every guest as if they were our own—because being a great vacation host is about so much more than managing reservations. It’s about caring for the home, anticipating needs, and creating an experience that keeps guests coming back.

Owner FAQs
How does Anchor Away Vacation Rentals market my property?
We use targeted online platforms, such as VRBO, AIRBNB as well as our direct booking channels to maximize your property's visibility to qualified guests seeking luxury stays on Amelia Island.
Vacation Host vs. Property Management
At Anchor Away Vacation Rentals, we take a different approach than traditional property management companies. As your vacation host, we believe in transparency, simplicity, and keeping you in control of your rental income.
Your reservation income goes directly to you. All payments from guest reservations are deposited directly into your bank account rather than passing through our accounts. This means you maintain direct access to your rental revenue.
We get paid after your guests check out. Our commission is not collected upfront or deducted from your reservation payments. Instead, we calculate our commission after a month has been completed. You will pay us our commision once a month.
Monthly statements keep everything transparent. At the end of each month, we provide you with an owner statement detailing our commission owed, so you know exactly what you are paying for our hosting services.
Unlike traditional property management companies that collect reservation payments and distribute the owner's portion after a guest departs, our vacation hosting model allows you to receive your rental income directly and pay us for our services afterward.
How are rental rates determined for my property?
We analyze local market trends, seasonal demand, and your property's unique features to establish competitive nightly rates throughout the year. Using our proven dynamic pricing tool, we continually adjust rates based on market conditions and booking trends to help optimize occupancy and maximize revenue. This technology, combined with our local expertise, allows us to strategically price each property to maximize its earning potential and achieve the strongest possible results in every season.
What support do you provide for property maintenance and guest issues?
Our team coordinates timely maintenance and addresses guest concerns promptly to maintain high standards and positive reviews for your rental. We have local handyman and companies that specialize in HVAC, Plumbing, etc. that we work with to make sure all issues are handled promptly.
VRBO Premier Host & AIRBNB Superhost
We’re proud to have consistently maintained VRBO Premier Host and Airbnb Superhost status, earning over 1,500 five-star reviews across our portfolio of vacation properties. These achievements reflect our commitment to exceptional hospitality, personalized service, and memorable guest experiences.
Cleaners for your property
We assign a dedicated cleaner to your property rather than rotating different cleaners through at every turnover. We believe having the same trusted set of eyes on your property makes a significant difference. Our cleaners become familiar with your home, allowing them to spot potential issues, notice misplaced items, and help ensure your property is consistently guest-ready.
Our cleaning team members have worked with us for an average of approximately six years, and we truly believe they are among the best on Amelia Island! Their experience, consistency, and attention to detail are reflected in the exceptional care they provide. As a result, cleaning-related issues are extremely rare, giving both our owners and guests greater peace of mind.
What is your responsibility as the owner?
Our team handles day-to-day management, guest communication, and maintenance coordination, allowing you to enjoy passive income without the hassle of daily operations. You will be given an owner's portal where you can log on at any given time to view the calendar and see all financial data. Of course, there are some upfront tasks as the owner to help get the property listed but after the initial set up, you have very little responsibilities.
How do you pay us?
Monthly statements keep everything transparent. At the end of each month, we provide you with an owner statement detailing our what you owe us. We never upcharge any maintaence or cleaning invoices. You have an owner's portal for full transparency.
