Home & Condo Rentals, Inc.: Reviews
Reviews are the opinions of their authors. We do not verify that the author was a customer.
Fantastic experience: Jessica and her team are fantastic they go above and beyond what any other company would do.
Fantastic experience: Jessica was really helpful throughout the entire process, my family and I had to move to another state due to my husbands job so we really need assistance and someone to truly trust during the process, I’m just so glad we were able to find them.
Fantastic experience: We are property owners who are currently using Home and Condo Rentals. We are so far very pleased with their service and with the quality of the tenant they procured. They were on top of any issues that arose before the home was occupied and kept us informed along the way. All of the people we spoke with were always courteous and friendly and willing to work in partnership with us to find the most suitable solution. Thank you
Fantastic experience: The staff at Home and Condo are fantastic to work with and have always been there when needed. I worked with Jessica and she has gone above the call of duty... Thank you for your great service!!
Fantastic experience: We highly recommend this property management and rental company! We own a manufactured home in North Port and used their services to rent out the unit long term. It took a couple months but Jessica got the job done! Not only did she find us a tenant, she secured them and us in a two year lease. More recently I recommended Jessica to a friend with a home in Rotunda West. She managed to get that one rented in about one month! Everyone I have dealt with at the office is professional and helpful, if you to want to rent out your property or are looking to rent one, they are great to work with!
Negative experience: Terrible experience from start to finish. The air conditioning broke and we were left without it for over a week (9 days!), which made it impossible to stay in the apartment. On top of that, a water leak was never fixed despite repeated issues. When the lease ended in July, they suddenly insisted on a 45-day notice period that was never clear in the beginning. After moving out, I left the apartment in excellent condition, yet they still deducted $100 from my deposit with no warning, no explanation, and no transparency. The whole process was unprofessional and frustrating. Once they had the rent, they showed no responsibility or respect toward tenants. I would strongly advise others to stay away.
Jonathan, thank you for your concern. However, there are several inaccuracies in this review that must be clarified. The terms were mutually agreed upon when the tenants chose not to renew their lease while awaiting the closing of their daughter’s home. No claims were made against the security deposit beyond what had already been agreed upon with the tenant’s representative in advance.
Regarding the AC issue, we were in complete agreement with the tenants about the lack of action on the owner’s part. To support the tenants, we personally arranged and installed a portable AC unit until the permanent system was repaired. We also have no record of any water leak ever being reported to our office.
Lastly, it is important to note that we are no longer representing this particular property owner.
Fantastic experience: I moved from out of state and the team at Home & Condo Rentals went above and beyond for me, especially Jessica!! I can’t thank Jessica enough for all her support, kindness and time during my transition!
Fantastic experience: Beau Walker and the team at Home and Condo Rentals were extremely helpful throughout the years of ownership and in getting our condo prepared for sale. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: This company is fantastic! They were able to provide my mother a place to live when she moved down until we were able to find her a long term home! I could not be more pleased with the response and help! Would definitly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very organized, communicated clearly, knowledgeable and professional. Linda did a great job that made our first visit to Venice Beach a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Good people. Well run, professional, and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding services! AND why? Because they truly care and the personal touch that exists is different from any other in town. They are not a chain. It is a family owned business and well established which sets them apart, as they live and work here! That personal touch is priceless!
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and friendly people to work with. Have used them for a seasonal rental for 3 years.
Thank you for your review Aurea!! It has been our pleasure to serve you over the past 3 years. Cheers to many more!!
Fantastic experience: Beau and Molly were such a great help to us making our final move to Venice.Two rentals and a year later finally in our home!Thank you so much !
Fantastic experience: Beau was a big help in making mine a smooth transition fron naples to venice. Very happy w the move.
Fantastic experience: I had a Positive experience working with Beau at HOME and CONDO RENTAL. I found an ideal Condo at a reasonable lease price. I recommend.
Thanks Joe! It has been our pleasure working with you too. We look forward to your move in soon. Safe travels!
Fantastic experience: Beau Walker and the staff are fantastic. I haven't rented in over 40 years so I was very apprehensive going into finding a condo for rent, but I found a gem with Home & Condo Rentals, Inc. The have both the owners AND the renters best interest at heart. Very transparent and compassionate.
Thank you for your review Will! We are glad we get to work together and look forward to helping you with anything you may have moving forward. Have a great day!
Negative experience: They use a bait and switch approach. They have properties on their website that are not available even though it indicates they are available. When I pointed this out to them they didn’t say much but the property is still listed on their website. DON’T TRUST THESE PEOPLE.
Fantastic experience: Beau and Darrell have been really great to work with. We have worked with a few property rental companies in the past and this team definitely has a higher level of professionalism than most. Plus, they are a small family run business so you get the added benefit of a personal touch. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a property manger.
Thank you David! It has been our pleasure working with you. Cheers to many more!!
Fantastic experience: Great response when I called to let them know the fridge went out. They sent repair person out within a couple hours and it was repaired.
Thank you for your review Kim! It is our goal to maintain our owner's real property assets to the highest standard. Have a wonderful day!
Fantastic experience: First, Home & Condo Rentals found me an ideal home; I love it. Secondly, they are always friendly & responsive. I've only had a couple of minor maintenance issues & they've always been handled quickly & competently. I can recommend them wholeheartedly.
Thank you for your review LInda! It has been a wonderful relationship over all these years. We truly appreciate you as a client and thank you for always being so amazing to work with. Make it a great day!
Fantastic experience: They do a very good job taking care of the owner, me, and the tenant's needs. Thank you Beau.
Thank you for your review Kim! We are glad you are happy with our service. It has been our pleasure to take care of your property and thank you for your business!
Fantastic experience: Having Home & Condo available to look after our condo when we're not there and make all arrangements for seasonal rentals has been a godsend. It's like having a close relative down the street to come in and water your plants while you're away. (We don't have any plants to water, but you get the idea.) They take care of the tenants too, providing a detailed questionnaire after each stay and giving us suggestions on how to improve (new bedspread, TV in bedroom, etc.) They take care of our home-away-from-home both for us and for our tenants.
Thank you for your review Virginia! We are thankful for your business and happy to be of assistance in any way we can. If there is ever anything that we can help with, please let us know. Thank you again and have a great day!!
Negative experience: preparation for incoming tenant is very poor. Property is not inspected prior to occupation to insure maintenance problems are addressed or that cleaning meets basic level. kitchen is very poorly equipped, and linens and towels are old and frayed. comforters are unwashed and smell used and musty. Maintenance response is good and folks are friendly but tenants are in a position to have maintenance crews in and out during stay. After many years of using the service, we are tired of the problems and have found a lovely place for a better price.
Fantastic experience: Molly was a pleasure to work with ! Everyone at the agency were so easy to work with and responsive to any needs.
Thank you for your review, Maureen!! We are so glad your experience with Molly and our staff was so great. If there is ever anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to call!
Fantastic experience: Molly at H&C Rentals was very quick on her response, professional, found us a rental zackly like we were looking for! We've already contacted Molly for a place in Venice next yr.
Thank you for your review, Lynn!! We are glad your experience has been so great with Molly. We think she is pretty terrific too! If there is anything we can ever help with, don't hesitate to call!
Negative experience: Lived in property for year and a half. They did not maintain property. Manager was very angry that the house had issues after not repairing the issue on the 5 th time. He told me to F off. We did not have hot water. We had to heat water on stove to bath my 3yr old .This went on for around a year. They believed this to be normal and acceptable. I would look at other property management or landlords before you settle. I would have rated at 0 stars, it was not an option.
Hi Scott. We are sorry to hear your experience was not exceptional during your time with us. We had multiple vendors come out countless times to address your issues and every time the issue was seemingly fixed when they left. We all have families of our own and would never want someone to have to live without the necessity of hot water. Had this been brought to our attention sooner than now, we would have certainly taken care of it in a timely manner much like we did the other issues you brought up to us. We wish you all the best with your new home. Thank you for being such a valued tenant over the past 18 months.
Fantastic experience: There aren't enough words in the English vocabulary to describe how wonderful the folks at Home & Condo treated me and how grateful I am to them for all they have done. I just adore my little home and the dogs are very happy too!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and getting us into our new home.
Thanks for the review Linda!! We are glad to hear of your experience and especially glad to hear that you are settling into your new home so well. If there is ever anything we can help with, you know where to find us! Have a great night!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Home & Condo for over 3 years and they have been great. I worked with Linda and she was very helpful with suggestions on my seasonal rental.

Fantastic experience: Great people, excellent service! Thank you
Thanks Jeff! Glad you are settling into your new home well. Let us know if there is anything we can assist with!
Negative experience: NEVER RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. NEVER! THIS COMPANY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU ONCE THEY HAVE YOUR MONEY. TO KEEP FUNDS FOR PROCESSING FEE AND CANCELATION FEE WHEN THE STATE IS TELLING YOU NOT TO COME BECAUSE THEY FEEL YOU SHOULD COME IS TERRIBLE. VICTOR IS AWFUL AND THE OWNER STEPHANIE JUST NEEDS THE MONEY. NO THOUGHT ON YOUR FAMILY, ONLY THEMSELVES, GIVING THEM 60 DAYS TO RENT THE UNIT.
Fantastic experience: My husband and i just purchased a home in Venice Fl that we hired H&C rentals to manage for us to rent. Beau Walker from their office has been incredibly responsive and professional and it has been a very pleasant experience dealing with him and his office. Lori Pellegrino
Negative experience: I never leave reviews !!! Especially negative reviews, however this is necessary. My in laws used this company and they were terribly mistreated. The manner in which the owners speak to tenants is absolutely appalling. Even the elderly. My in laws are the most pleasant people you will ever meet! The house they rented was beautiful from the outside but inside needed repairs that were never taken care of. My husband and I ended up repairing things ourselves,and we were never reimbursed. They ignore phone calls and neglect their tenants and apparently their properties. All this company does is collect rent and then you are on your own. My husband's parents also had friends from up North who rented from Home and Condo rental and were nickeled and dimed for everything out of security deposit. They do not do repairs and then blame and charge tenants for things that are in bad repair . We are now back in the area this week looking again for upcoming season and will use another company.By the way,I'm fairly certain most of the positive reviews are from family friends/etc
Fantastic experience: They have managed our property since 2016. Our property has been handled professionally. All required repairs/maintenance has been quickly attended to at a reasonable rate. We highly recommend them to give an absentee landlord peace of mind and tenants the service that they deserve.
Thanks for your review Art!! It has been our pleasure to serve you for the last 4 years. WIshing you all the best in 2020!!
Negative experience: Don’t work with this company! Worked with Beau to get a rental for my son, recently out of the Army and college. Provided Beau the application fee on a property. Was waiting on HOA approval to move forward. Then received a email from Beau that the property was rented to another party, three weeks after we provided the application fee. Evidently, this party put down a deposit, which in Beau’s mind gave them priority. Working with Beau was a struggle from the beginning. Didn’t return voice mails or emails. His voice mail states that he will get back to you in 24 business hours. Took me awhile but that means 3 days, not something you would expect from a service company. Very disappointing to see someone treat an Army veteran in such a manner.
Hi Kent. Thank you for your review of our company. We are sorry that your experience was not top notch. Unfortunately, we cannot control how quickly the HOA will approve of a lease. Knowing you were looking for immediate occupancy, we contacted you about the time frame it would take to get approval and you stated you would need to think about whether that would workout. Unfortunately, in the days it took you to get back to us, we had someone apply and take the property. Because we appreciate your son's service, we refunded the entire application fee early last week. You should have already received it by now. Thank you again and we wish you the best of luck with your move!
Fantastic experience: As owners who live out of state, we have been beyond pleased with the service we have received from Home & Condo Rentals, inc. We have used them to manage our townhouse in Venice for a number of years and have been thoroughly impressed. Beau Walker is extremely professional and always responds to our inquiries in a timely manner. It is such a relief that, despite being in a different state, we can feel secure that our property is being handled correctly and that whenever a problem arises, it is handled immediately. We cannot say enough good things about this company. Give them a try!
Hi Lynn! Thank you for your review. It has been our pleasure to manage your property for the past few years and to work with you over that time. It has truly been a phenomenal relationship and one that enriches us as much as we hope it does you. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Beau found the right tenant - that's what really counts!
Hi Bruce! Thank you for your review! We are glad that the meet and greet with your new tenant went so well and you are happy with the tenant we placed. Thanks again and have a great day!!
Negative experience: My husband and I considered using this management company for a seasonal winter rental.What a mistake. They are beyond rude and very nasty unprofessional folks. We also have friends that used them in the past and they said the same thing. Look around they are not the only game in town. We hear they are professionals until they get you to sign on the dotted line. Beware
Positive experience: Beau Walker is a fine agent. We counted on him for two years now to annually rent our condo. He should be in charge of the entire Home and Condo operation! If you own and want to lease, or want to rent, we recommend Beau!
Thank you for your kind words, Eldon! It has been our pleasure to manage your home for you. If there is ever anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Fantastic experience: Having many years experience in property management, I have an intimate understanding of marketing, leasing, management and maintenance- all of which are inter related, btw. Our experience renting and living in a condo handled by HAC was first rate from the first phone contact, thru leasing and move-in and including request for service. Professional, personable and prompt. About all you could ask for.
Thank you for your review Allen! Customer satisfaction is the lifeblood of our company and we are glad that you have had such a positive experience with us so far this season. Thank you again and enjoy the beautiful weather!
Fantastic experience: In speaking with Molly at Home & Condo Rentals this morning, we were very impressed by her willingness to take time to explain the process of finding a rental property for us for next season. We are looking forward to working with them. Bob Klenke
Hi Bob! Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear you were happy with Molly and her explanation of the rental process. These reviews help tell us what we are doing well in and what we need to improve on so this is very helpful in our effort to constantly put the best product out there for you. PS: Molly said you were a joy to speak with. Thank you again!
Fantastic experience: I've known the owners and family of Home & Condo Rentals for nearly my entire life. Not a better family or company that I would trust more to rent from or rent with. Some truly amazing people at Home & Condo!!!
Thanks for your review Michael! It has been our pleasure to do business on both a personal and professional level with you!
Fantastic experience: Beau Walker is extremely helpful and professional. I highly recommend them to any one who wants to rent or has a property that they want to rent out!
Thank you for your review Tara! We are always glad to hear that our clients are happy with our service and these reviews are a the best way to find out what we are doing well and what we may need to tweak. It has been our pleasure to work with you. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need anything. Thanks again and have a fantastic day!

Home & Condo Staff
Negative experience: After personally renting from H&C for 6 years I can't believe how much they have changed.....for the worse. They have become so unprofessional and lack of follow-up is the norm, Won't be renting from them ever again and would not refer them. Sad because they used to be a very good company when my parents rented from them ,,,,,
Negative experience: As an educated and well spoken person who can handle situations and personally as a renter for 6 years from them . The owner of this company is very condescending when you call instead of being heard you are talked down to it was very hard to keep composure the way the owner treats you, but at the end of the day it's a choice you make to rent from them and a choice that I would not choose again nor recommend to anyone. Just grateful to have moved on....Don't bother giving specific reasons you won't use them again on your reviews they will not own it and will only respond in defense instead of reason. Move on :)
Negative experience: Never been mistreated by a company so badly. After receiving bills we were not even aware of asked and put in writing multiple times not to do any work without our knowledge still happens. Called vendor directly and there was absolutely no need to go out. We have been so reasonable over and over again, it would not take much for them to fix this issue if they even cared a very little for their customers and this we are told is the owner!!! Tough to have to post this but I really can't let someone else go through the emotional and financial mistreatment. The first bad review I have ever posted and I would be much happier if I could delete it if they made things even a bit right
Negative experience: They will play deposit games and charge you for unreasonable cleaning. Be sure to take extensive photos when you move in to dissuade this dishonest practice.
Thank you for your review. We are always interested to see how we can improve our business and tenant's/owner's comments are the best source of such information. Our tenants have every right to dispute security claims, per FL Landlord Tenant Law, but we feel confident that if one were to Objectively inspect the property, he/she will come to the same conclusions that we do. Thank you again and have a great day!!
Negative experience: Have rented from these people several times. When my original agent was there, all was well. But she retired and then I had to deal with the owner regarding problems the past two years. He was awful to deal with, had a condescending attitude, didn't like dealing with older and wiser people any more than nice young people. We decided not to rent from Home and Condo ever again.
Fantastic experience: Great group of people!
Negative experience: Rented a house out, using Home and Condo. They were pretty awful. Did very little for their money and tried to do even less. Lady dealing with annual rentals has had not just a sense of humour by-pass but an entire personality one. One of the Company owners felt that visiting the house to meet someone needing access was impossible - apparently the $290 a month he was making was not enough to spend a half hour away from his office just once in 2 and a half years. One of the annual 'inspections' managed to miss the 2 foot high weeds and grass growing all over the lanai and pool area. When we needed a new roof, the roofer offered by H and C quoted nearly $5,000 more than we paid elsewhere. Whether Venice has got better agencies, I don't know, but I do know this lot are dire.
Positive experience: your railings on second and third floors should be fixed and u should have free wigi and better parking
