Clearwater, Florida · Licensed Broker BK3616394
Clearwater property management for long-term residential rentals — without the vacation-rental complication.
Clearwater is the kind of market where the wrong manager tries to be everything at once. We don’t. Ocean Blue runs long-term residential leasing (typically 12-month leases) across Countryside, Morningside, the East Lake corridor, and the areas adjacent to Safety Harbor and Dunedin. We do not manage Clearwater Beach short-term vacation rentals — those need a different operational model and a different manager.
Who we help in Clearwater
Ocean Blue works with a mix of local owners, first-time landlords, and out-of-state investors. If you fit one of these profiles, your situation is one we handle every week.
Long-term Clearwater landlords
You own a single-family home or townhouse in Countryside, Morningside, or near Safety Harbor and want a manager that focuses on 12-month leases, not weekend turnovers.
Out-of-state investors
You bought a Clearwater rental sight-unseen or live in another state. We handle the local side — showings, maintenance, annual inspections — and you stay in an owner portal with live statements.
Small multifamily owners
Duplex, triplex, or small multifamily near downtown Clearwater or the East Lake corridor. We screen each applicant uniformly and coordinate maintenance across units so you aren’t managing one crisis at a time.
First-time landlords
You moved and kept your Clearwater home. We price it for the current market, list it with a 3D tour and proper photos, and get it rented without guesswork.
What owners need in Clearwater
Long-term-only focus
Long-term residential leases perform differently than short-term vacation rentals — accounting, screening, tenant expectations, and legal framework all diverge. Working with a manager that specializes in one model avoids the compromises that hybrid managers make.
Accurate pricing for Pinellas
Clearwater rents don’t track Tampa’s one-to-one. We use recent Pinellas comps, days-on-market data, and your specific submarket to price the rental correctly the first time.
Maintenance with local vendors
Plumbers, HVAC techs, roofers, and general handymen we’ve worked with for years — not a rotating call list. That’s how a leak gets diagnosed the same day and not the same week.
Clean, auditable reporting
Every owner statement itemizes rent collected, management and leasing fees, maintenance, and reserves. Year-end 1099s and full ledger access through the owner portal.

Frequently asked questions
Which Clearwater areas do you manage in?
Countryside, Morningside, downtown Clearwater, East Lake corridor, and the areas adjacent to Safety Harbor and Dunedin. We focus on long-term residential rentals; we do not manage short-term Clearwater Beach vacation rentals.
Do you manage Clearwater Beach short-term / vacation rentals?
No. Ocean Blue Property Management is a long-term leasing manager (typically 12-month leases). Short-term vacation rentals on Clearwater Beach operate under a different regulatory and operational model and require a different manager.
How much does property management cost?
Monthly management and leasing fees vary by property type, location, and service tier. We publish a transparent fee schedule after a free rental analysis — no obligation and no setup fee. Call (813) 246-4314 or request a quote through the form on this page.
How quickly can you place a qualified tenant?
Once photography, the 3D virtual tour, and syndication are live, most properties start generating showings within days. Days-on-market depends on pricing, condition, and season; we report it honestly in every weekly vacancy update instead of promising a fixed window.
Do you work with out-of-state owners?
Yes. A large share of our owners live outside Florida. We handle every in-person step locally (showings, move-ins, inspections, maintenance) and push everything else to a 24/7 owner portal with itemized statements, work orders, and year-end 1099s.
Are you a licensed Florida real estate brokerage?
Yes. Ocean Blue Property Management, Inc. holds Florida Real Estate Broker License BK3616394, issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The broker of record is Thomas P. Corinti.
How does tenant screening work?
Every applicant is screened through credit, background, income (typically 3× monthly rent), and rental-history verification. Screening criteria are applied uniformly to every applicant in compliance with the federal Fair Housing Act and the Florida Fair Housing Act.
