Crye Leike Coastal Realty has been managing my condo at Amalfi Coast Resort for 5 years. Their fees are very reasonable and they are also very responsive to any service that I need. This is extremely important since I live quite a distance from Florida and am not familiar with the local contractors. I need someone I can trust locally. They are also very prompt forwarding the rental income to me on a monthly basis.” -Suzanne Simon, Arlington, VA Amalfi
“When we purchased our home, we researched the management market. We realized how difficult it is to balance rental time with owner use, maintenance and cleaning.
