We provide clean, well-maintained cottages complete with several enjoyable amenities and are available to address any concerns renters may have while vacationing in beautiful Seaside, Florida.

Marketing in the 21st Century

In today's economy, staying on top of the various social media outlets is everything! Here at Sandpiper Vacation Rentals, we're happy to say we're doing our best to stay on the cutting edge....marketing to people through various interactive outlets and at a cost much less than that of other rental management companies.

The internet is everything these days and while businesses know this, they're not quite sure how to make it work for them. With so many different mediums, where do you start? Well, Sandpiper Vacation Rentals started with Vacation Rentals By Owner (www.VRBO.com) allowing the internet to work for us rather than the other way around. We utilize the tools on VRBO, as well as it's reputation, to drive traffic to our specific cottages. VRBO's rental calendar, picture and video functions, and descriptions are among some of the tools that allow us to genererate this business.

Still, our use of the internet doesn't stop with VRBO. We market our Seaside cottages on our own website as well. We also created this blog to reach out to possible renters and owners, advertise on facebook, and generate electronic mailers (mass emails) to interested parties.

Sandpiper Vacation Rentals is at the forefront of this social media world with more to come. One of the great joys of the internet is that it appears to be limitless. There is so much uncharted territory. Advertising through Twitter and moving up the Google and Yahoo search engine lists are at the top of our to-do lists these days.

Stay tuned....More to come!
