SWFL Rental Home Watch Services
Ordway HomeGuard Rental Home Watch Services give absentee owners peace of mind without the cost of full property management. We help keep your rental investment safe, guest-ready, and in top shape—whether it’s between tenants or booked months out.
Our scheduled inspections help catch problems early, from leaks to unauthorized entry. We can also coordinate trusted vendors for repairs, cleanings, tenant introductions, and more—saving you time, hassle, and money.
You handle the rent, accounting, and any evictions; we handle the watchful care that help to keep your property in good condition and ready for the next occupant.

Rental Watch Pricing
Your plan includes up to four visits per month during regular hours, and we’re always ready to assist when needed. From coordinating storm prep, repairs, and cleanings to welcoming new tenants and handling departure checks, we manage the details so you can focus on maximizing income while your property stays in top shape.
NOTE: This is not full property management, the owner would be responsible for finding and screening the tenant, drafting the lease, collecting payments, financial reporting, and tenant relations. Normally those services cost owners 8%-12% a month. We can refer you to a real estate advisor for tenant placement if desired.
Pricing varies based on home size and location. Please contact us for an accurate quote.

What Do Rental Home Watch Services Include?
A rental home watch service is a cost-effective alternative to full property management services, giving owners of vacation or secondary rentals peace of mind without high monthly fees. You handle rent collection, accounting, and evictions, while we focus on your property’s condition, safety, and help make sure it’s guest-ready.
Through regular interior and exterior inspections, we check for leaks, damage, pests, and security breaches—focusing on catching small problems before they turn into costly repairs. We visually inspect essential systems like HVAC, plumbing, and appliances, run water to prevent stagnation, and check for obvious signs of mold or mildew. Security checks, detailed reports, and coordination with trusted local vendors for quick repairs or cleanings help keep everything running smoothly.
Customized services—like bringing in patio furniture, accepting deliveries, or prepping for arrivals—make ownership easier and can even enhance the rental experience. By helping to prevent damage, deterring intruders, maintaining insurance compliance, and protecting property value, rental home watch services help safeguard your investment while saving you thousands over traditional property management.
For a small monthly fee, rental home watch includes:
All services below provided Monday – Friday between 9am – 5pm EST. After hours service available for an additional fee.
Before and after each rental period, we perform a complete visual check of the interior, lanai, and garage.
Report any issues or damage to homeowner after leases end and advise on returning deposit.
Coordinate cleaning, painting, repairs and other services between rentals.
Inventory check on turnkey rentals.
