What Our Owners Are Saying

Dale Rees, Beach Music
Our experience over the past 6 years with Harris has been great!. Every Property Manager we've worked with has been awesome - super responsive, helpful, professional, and very friendly. Owning a rental house on the beach can be a lot of work at times but the Harris team makes it as stress-free as possible. Since transitioning to Harris, our rental revenue has nearly doubled, and our home is clean and well-maintained. Harris continually introduces new programs to make owning a beach house easier and better for renters. They've also provided us with excellent vendor referrals we wouldn't have found on our own. Managing our home is truly a partnership with Harris!
Judy & Ben Braselton - Two Shores
In 2024, our new home was completed, and we debated whether to join a vacation rental program. Having worked with three different agencies before, we knew what we needed - cleanliness, communication, and property oversight. We researched websites, reviews from guests, and consulted our Fort Morgan neighbors. Harris Vacations clearly outperformed the other management companies! We spoke with and met several representatives from Harris, and each presented a professional experience!
Rachel Richardson - Out of the Blue
Out of the Blue was previously managed by Harris Vacations for the former owners. We met with their team and decided it was a good fit for us as well. Harris goes above and beyond, and our property manager is always willing to help. Out of the Blue remains consistently booked, and payments are made on time. We would definitely recommend Harris for your property management needs.
Bill & Kelley Lyons - Sunswept
After meeting with their team, we felt confident entrusting our home to Harris. They were accommodating in the areas that mattered most to us and operate with transparency. Our property manager goes above and beyond to care for both our home and our guests. Concerns are addressed immediately, and problems are resolved efficiently. With a second home six hours away used as a rental part of the year, it’s essential to have a competent team that treats your property with respect and care. We’re grateful to have that team with Harris Vacations.
Judy Williams - Shipwrecked, A Wave From It All, Bay Dreams, and Just Nuts
Since switching to Harris Vacations, we couldn't be happier. They go above and beyond what most would consider acceptable. The team at Harris not only ensures that owners are satisfied, but they also take exceptional care of our properties and keep our guests very happy. I used to feel the need to visit the homes after each turnover to ensure they were clean and ready, but now I don’t have to, thanks to the work ethic and dedication of all their employees.. They are very hands-on and communicate with owners as they should.
Lesa Clough - Twenty Three Tortugas
Harris’s customer service for our guests is outstanding, and this year we've seen an increase in repeat bookings. We are experiencing strong bookings despite a declining market. Their communication via videos, emails, and the new maintenance and vendor programs keeps us well-informed. The owner portal is convenient and easy to use. The property managers are exceptional, and we especially appreciate the cleaning and quality control teams who have personally shared important updates. We like the quality of the linens and the new hygiene boxes. Overall, we feel like part of the Harris team, and we truly believe Harris cares about both guests and owners. Their dedication to providing top-quality vacation homes ensures guests will want to return year after year.
Misty & Michael Wise - TreeTops
Over many wonderful years visiting Alabama’s Fort Morgan Beach and Gulf Shores, I’ve seen many good things grow—Harris Vacations is one of them. Our experience as guests early on revealed Harris’s genuine commitment to creating an exceptional guest experience while also providing top-notch care for owners. Their guidance and experience have helped dreams we didn't even know we had come true! The owner of Harris cares, reaching out periodically for genuine conversations. It’s nice touch to see the full spectrum of property management singing from the same sheet of music! The entire team is dedicated, well-organized, and a true blessing to know. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Harris family.
Alethea Hall, Living the Dream
Harris Vacations has been a wonderful partner for our beach house. They came highly recommended from another homeowner in our subdivision, and they did not disappoint. Our property manager has been truly amazing to work with. She is quick to respond if there is an issue or concern on our part. She stays on top of all the maintenance, walks through the house regularly, and keeps up with any vendors that need to come to the property. We could not manage our house without her. I highly recommend Harris to anyone looking for a management company for their rental. We are truly grateful for the services and peace of mind they provide.
Kelee & Cody George - The Sandtrap

Our guests leave every time extremely happy.Our property is very well taken care of and being a thousand miles away we know it is in the best hands.
