Outperforming the market
Ryan and Jamie first leased their Amelia Island condo to Checkmate, then chose to continue with Checkmate as their property manager.
I recommend Checkmate Rentals to anyone with an STR.

Property management reviews
Selected Google reviews from management clients about communication, rental operations, and working with Checkmate. Quotes are excerpts from reviews on the linked business profile.
Fast forward to now, we exceeded his revenue projection for 2022 and we have stellar reviews on both VRBO and Airbnb, with many guests commenting on how great the communication is. I like to be a little more hands-on with my property than probably most people, and Chad and his team have customized a management plan that I feel very comfortable with.
The team does an outstanding job managing my properties! Communication is always professional, quick and informative. They are a great property management company that’s open, honest and cost-effective. Truly a great seamless partnership running my properties being 2 hours away.
Chad has made rentals run very smoothly with his prompt responses and knowledge of the area when renters have questions or concerns. Anytime I need to reach him, he is just a text or phone call away.
We love working with Checkmate! The team is responsive, solution-oriented and great at getting top dollar for our rental. I have no hesitation recommending Checkmate to anyone looking for a management company.
Checkmate Rentals has a great team. They have been managing my Airbnb/VRBO Property for over a year now and I wouldn't think of choosing anyone else! Great company.
I just started working with Checkmate Rentals and I couldn’t be happier. They have very competitive rates compared to some of the other companies I’ve spoke with about managing my short term rental property. They have done a fantastic job.
Owner and client stories
Read the published stories behind four Checkmate properties, from a rental-arbitrage launch to a change in management.
Success with rental arbitrage
Josh leased a five-bedroom home in Jamul for short-term rentals. His case study describes Checkmate’s listing launch and dynamic-pricing work after he raised concerns about covering the lease.
Chad & Checkmate Rentals literally saved my rental arbitrage property.
Turning around a struggling property
Jessie came to Checkmate because his Dunnellon rental was struggling to get noticed. The case study describes rebuilding its Airbnb and Vrbo listings to improve visibility and bookings.
Once they started doing the pricing and marketing, my property really started turning a profit.
Winning against big property managers
David moved his Myrtle Beach portfolio from a large manager to Checkmate. His story focuses on owner-controlled listings, more input into property decisions, and responsive management.
I recommend Checkmate to anyone who wants responsive and personalized management.
