Florida Best Property Management

Florida Best Property Management

Today’s thoughts that I put in writing is about Florida Best Property Management service.  A bit over a year ago, I arrived to Florida.  Soon Ella’s Vacation Rentals was recognized as the Best Vacation Rental Home Agency in Fort Myers Beach. The property that I put up on market is almost booked solid for the entire 2015 season.  It is only August 2015.  Many of the guests that stayed with me last year are returning.  Some did not remember the listing number and simple Googled my name, Ella.  Others have told me that their friends and family member highly recommended me.   Here is the Calendar for 2015:

Florida Best Property Management
I was not considering myself as Florida Best Property Management place, but my guests game me the recognition.  Thus, I would like to thank every one for the kind words, five star reviews, the respect, consideration and most importantly loyalty.  Loyalty pays off!  The vacation rental rates are going up each year and this year, I am renting the place at a way higher price.  My success is shown in high profit numbers deposited into my bank account.  Thus, to all my loyal guests, I offer a bit of the discount.  Here, I give my personal thank you to my loyal guests, who helped me to become the Florida Best Property Management place.

Dear Susan, you were one of my best guests in regards to being very personable. When you staid at the cabin, it felt my you were my dear friend, as we had out conversations in regards to the road, you driving on it, the nature, etc. I am glad that you enjoy staying at the North Carolina Cabin.  Please call me at any time, I would love to give you my personal welcoming to the Smokey Mountains!  Can’t wait till your next visit in October!

Dear Steven, you are one of my best guests in regards to operating just like me, direct, efficient and quick.  I always admire your prompt cash payments when you managed to fill-in all my un-occupied days!  I always happy to accommodate your business / executive lifestyle on your short notice.

And there were many others, Jean, Yulia, Rebecca, Bob, Jennell, Javier…  more on my testimonial page: http://ellasvacationrentals.com/testimonial/  Thank you guys!

You guys are in my Travel club for life time loyalty discount. #EllasVIPclub

Unlike most Property Management companies, I don’t really represent the home.  My way of operating brings me to my success.

I represent the guest/the traveller/ the nomadic gypsy type creature.  I find humanity fascinating and I am thrilled to communicate to each of my guests.

The business side of it:  Guest is the one who pays hefty rate for the accommodations, thus bring the profit/income to the owner of the accommodation.  If the guest is not happy, the profit is gone.  The business will not make it.  Do I treat is as a business?  There was nothing in my life that I did I treated as the business.  Every project, I was involved in, I put my heart to it, and injected with my passion.  I am ruled by Passion, until the day of when, I am not 🙂

What my guests are passionate about? Are my guests happy?   Do my guest have their dream vacation in mind?  What do I do to get them close to their dream?   Many of you I had an honor to met in person.

Thank you my dear nomadic creatures for my success, thank you for your loyalty.

Fort Myers Beach Transportation

Fort Myers Beach Transportation

fort myers beach transportation

I get a lot of enquiries wondering about the transportation; Fort Myers Beach transportation, Fort Myers transportation, etc. 

Getting Around:

DownTown Fort Myers: It is residential area. Car is necessary. About 15 min from Fort Myers Airport

Fort Myers Beach: Car is recommended, but not necessary.  There is a trolley that is very cheap if you need to go grocery shopping and do not feel like to cary the groceries home.

Paradise House: Royal Blue Beach Suite, Aqua beach Suite and Sky Blue Beach Suite are about 1 mile from Time Square, where there is a busy night life. It is easy 10 to 15 min walking distance. The restaurants, shops, bars, etc are located in between where you are staying and the Time Square. The beach is 7 houses down and about 3 minutes walk.

Pink Shell House: Ocean Level Beach Suite, Coral Reef Beach Suite and Blue Ray Beach Escape are about 3.5 miles away from Time Square.  Trolley stop is near by.  There a recouple of restaurants/bars in walking distance a couple of blocks away, but the activities and night life are closer to Time Square.  The beach is 50 steps away, two houses down. You can see the water right after you park your car at the property. About 30 min from Fort Myers Airport

Cape Coral: It is residential area. Car is necessary. About 20 min from Fort Myers Airport

Smokey Mountains in Whittier, North Carolina: You are in the forest.  Car is necessary, any car is OK, 4 wheeler is not necessary.  Often, I take my low ride Lexus on the dirt roads there and it goes just fine, even in the rain.

Fort Myers International Airport

Enterprise Rent-A-Car   (239) 332-4558
2509 Fowler St Fort Myers, FL

You can always get a taxi that will take you from the airport to your accommodation.  I personally use Pam Taxi.  239-234-4343  The taxi drivers drive as if it was New York City or the mother Russia.  The drivers are knowledgeable about the area; they fast, aggressive, safe and professional.

As you arrive to your accommodation, welcome to use public transportation. Here is a bit more information about it

You can call LeeTran on (239) LEE-TRAN (533-8726) and I’m sure they would be happy to answer any questions you have.

Trolley Fare Details:

The fares below reflect only cash fares and only for the trolley. 

Single Ride: $0.50

Senior Single Ride: $0.25

All Day Pass: $1.50

3-Day Pass: $3.00

Passes are available to purchase online at http://eltosc.leegov.com or you can pick them up from any Publix grocery store, which are all over the place. There is one on the island, and a number in both Bonita Springs and south Fort Myers on the way to the beach.

During peak tourism times, traffic onto and off the island can be very congested, and it can be much faster to ride the trolley as once it reaches the bridge at the north end of Estero Island, it has a dedicated trolley lane.

Best Vacation Home Rental Agency Fort Myers Beach award 2015

Best Vacation Home Rental Agency Fort Myers Beach award 2015

best vacation home rental agency fort myers beach

Spending only little over one year in Florida and getting the award of being the best businesses in area sure makes me happy.  Ella’s Vacation Rentals – Vacation Home Rental Agency award of 2015 given for in recognition of excellent service to the guests, marketing and overall business development is a good start.

Shortly after arriving to Florida an treating my new venture nothing but the hobby, I learned that I became one of the Top Vacation Home Agency at the beach.  The interesting part is that I never treated my venture as the business.  Most of the days, I spent here at the beach, under the shade of beautiful tropical trees, looking at the waters and white sand, drinking my fine Turkish coffee and typing away on my LabTop.

This quote that I came across this morning: “Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion.” Tony Hsieh was my moto in life.  I always dreamed on living by the ocean, but Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles was not just warm enough. The sand was white, but white enough…  Here on the other coast, the west coast of Florida.  It is very peaceful here.

Success is easy and come naturally.

“Success? I don’t know what that word means. I’m happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody’s eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That’s a good day for me.” Denzel Washington

Kharma finds it way…  If one is good, one is recognized..

Well, I am back to my swim suit and about to deep into the water…

BENEFITS OF VACATION RENTALS

BENEFITS OF VACATION RENTALS

Are you considering taking a vacation or a business trip? Florida is one of the world’s greatest cities for a vacation; you will never be disappointed when it comes to some time away in Florida. However, regardless of where you choose to spend your vacation, being comfortable is what defines a real vacation.

Many people are adapting to the concept of vacation rentals.  What are the benefits of Vacation Rentals? Avoid the hustles of booking a hotel and the disappointments of substandard room service and allow yourself to have a home away from home experience by getting a vacation rental.

Even when on a business trip there is the provision of opting for the corporate stay.  The advantages of vacation rentals and corporate stay accommodation facilities are so many to be enumerated on paper.  Albeit you are wondering why someone would go through all the trouble to furnish an apartment only to rent it out at a fee; well, it goes beyond money. The need for privacy and peace when on a vacation is what has driven the need to create alternatives to hotels for those on vacations.

Picture being on a family vacation and you get to live in an apartment or a condo specially set aside for you and your loved ones. The beauty of a home cooked meal and the convenience of having everything at your reach is simply the final touch to your vacation plans. On the other hand, if you are on a business trip, the idea of conducting a meeting in your apartment, away from the noise and in a manner that is convenient for you is the advantage of booking an extended stay or a corporate stay apartment. As if these are not enough, having this all-inclusive setting is cost effective as opposed to staying in a hotel.

This kind of setting gives you the privilege of having your family close to you even when working away from home.  If you choose to visit Florida there are so many places to choose from like Ellas Vacation Rentals. Allow yourself to enjoy all that Florida has to offer without fear of impending bills in a hotel or having to eat out every single day. All you need is to get a vacation rental.

Many companies and business executives are slowly making the transition from hotels to vacation rentals. Do not be left out in this paradigm shift. Join the wave and allow yourself to get a totally new vacation experience. Make memories away from home while at the same time; get the comfort of staying in an environment that reminds you of home.

There is so much that Florida has to offer and at the same time there is so much that you can benefit from when it comes to vacation rentals, corporate stays or extended stays. Get enlightened and choose what is best for you, but allow yourself to explore comfort at a totally different level. Choose to embrace your own personal space and choose to have the liberty to do as you please when on a trip by going for vacation rentals. It is value for your money and a decision you cannot regret.

I just added a new Bed & Breakfast in Cape Coral, called European Stop to my site and very happy about to offer it now tot he travelers.

Thank you my first 29 followers for following me on Pinterest

Pinterest is fascinating.  I personally called it Lazy Blogging. Pin – Pin – Pin.  It calls for my creativity. As a passionate photographer, I can finally show the world my creations, even if it comes in the form of rooms/suites/houses and product photography.  In modern day and age, most artist can’t spend time painting or drawing.  Work takes a major part of our lives.  I love what I do and I do not consider what I do as a work.  I love people, I live photography and I love travel.

I was happy that I finally found the time to sign up on for it.  In the morning with my cup of fine Turkish coffee, I pin, pin, pin…

Special thank you to my 10th follower  Peter von Stamm, an amazing photographer from Berlin.

South Beach Florida

South Beach Florida

Living my entire life is fast paste life, I often found South Beach Florida as a must stop destination even if it was for a day swimming or an evening dinner.  Normally, I would head out to Caribbean, but this time it was South America.  Last minute reservation at Betsy was a great pick.  The trip to South America was spur of the moment and the hotel looked lovely online.  The place is beautifully decorated with an intimate feel. The staff was courteous, friendly and well dressed.  The location was perfect, right on Ocean Drive, steps from the park and beach, but several blocks away from the noisiest, most congested part of the deco district. The rooftop deck offers a great view, again away from the crowds, perfect for early morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

Betsy is South Beach Florida

Betsy is South Beach Florida

Most of my South Beach Florida stops were last minute decision, hotel wise. All of them were unique and beautiful.  Betcy was perfect because it was a calm and classy place, which did not bring up the urge to party, like I normally do when I am in South Beach Florida.  This time, I had to safe all my energy for my up coming trip to South America.

“Situated at the edge of the Atlantic, The Betsy – South Beach is a refined, beachside haven located in the heart of South Beach and the only Forbes Four Star and AAA Four Diamond boutique hotel on Miami Beach” – taken off the Hotels Website.

Yes, the description is very accurate and I absolutely enjoyed my time and rested …

The Betsy Hotel is very quaint and peaceful in South Beach Florida.  It will be definitely a repeat destination to visit on way to the islands…

Travel Sydney Australia

Travel Sydney Australia

Often I get asked what is my favorite place to visit. Australia!  Travel Sydney Australia, of cause!  I have traveled back and forth cross country a few times.  At ones I have considered to make my home base and I may still do it.  According the seances, Australia is the hap pies country in the entire world.  It is similar to what America used to be, the land of opportunities, where anyone can come, get a great job, get a great house and enjoy the living, not working two or three jobs at low paying wage, fearing of loosing it…  Yes, people is Australia are very happy and there is a smile of every face.  The country is beautiful when you think of nature and when yo think of people.  The nature is still untouched in many areas and in the wild state.  The people are tall, not fat (like in some other countries) and fit, mostly of light completion.  man have nice broad shoulders and white smiles.  Often in the metro station, I was thinking that I am actually inside of the model cover magazine when  looked at the crowd getting out of the train….beautiful culture!

Travel Sydney Australia

I do not even know where to start describing my stay in Sydney. For the American audience, I would like to mention that it is not the capital of Australia. I have mentioned the train transportation, but my preference was always a fairy to get around where I needed to be.

Here is me on the fairy, going near the Sydney opera house
travel Sydney
On ocasión, I would enjoy the performance there and then have a nice picnic at the park, right next to it.  The parks of Australia were amazing.  The huge Australian white cocktail parrot, were flying around 24/7.  Oh, boy, are they loud?!  What a social bird.  I would say too social!  A lot of the morning, I just wanted to sleep!

1-sydney wild life

Wine and Food!  I am a foodie!  I am sea food connoisseur.  Every of my travels to Australia are always flu of fish and Australian Shiraz.  Australia is well known for its fines wine or at least well known to the wine connoisseur that I am!  On occasion, I would settle for the New Zealand one, which is still pretty good.

1_sydney fish
Here a whole fish lightly fried with very little oil, still having a savory juice inside.  Yammy… Yeap, that is what I call a good living… and what dinner without a fine desert?  I am addicted to chocolate.  The best quality I found in Madrid, Spain and Sydney, Australia.  I would always pick a different place to have my desert.  I always found it festinating that the same food doe snot taste the same of different continents, like to example when I was experiencing the difference with Gordon Ramsey restaurant in London and West Hollywood. The restaurant in London is excelled and one in West Hollywood was just OK. So back to the chocolate!  Here is me, enjoying Max Brenner chocolates.  63 Victoria St is the address of heaven!

Fremantle Australia

Fremantle Australia

Fremantle is a major Australian port city in Western Australia, located at the mouth of the Swan River.  This place is known for quite life, artsy shops and winders.  The coffee is amassing.  My best friend used to live in Fremantle and that is how I ended up spending a lot of my time there.  So what did I like about Fremantle Australia the most? Of cause the people!  I managed to form a nice group of connections there.  In the evenings, we were gathering with glasses of fine Australia wine, mustard chicken, and home made soufflés…and plaid never ending games of Razzu!

chocolate sopufle

On the picture above I have featured the doggy dog, names Delish.   Delish is not your average dog.  It had travelled the world.  Originally from Scotland, he has flew back and forth to Australia, going throughout airport customs and hold in places.  Delish remained kind and good dog.  As per the cat, I never knew his name.  He was cute and cuddly.

Fremantle Australia

I enjoyed my times outside in the small city.  The word history was screaming at me from every corner.  Old buildings, smell, nature, tropical air, it was all coexisting with each other gave that special feel.

I loved staying in Fremantle Australia!

Fremantle Australia

Not to forget to mention about the wild nature that I have seen on my travels there…  I do not even know what those birds are called.  Those sure were beautiful!

Fremantle Australia

Fremantle Australia is located right on the edge of the indian ocean, but it would be my next blog..

I barely ever know any history of the places where I travel too.  The world is too big and my passion are people.  History is in the past and I am fascinated with the present times!

Here is the link where anyone can learn a bit more about the place. wiki
