KEY WEST PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Property Maintenance Management for Owners Who Are Not on the Island

Most Key West property owners we work with do not live in Key West. They own a second home, a vacation property, or an investment unit, and they are somewhere else for most of the year. That arrangement works right up until something goes wrong and there is nobody on the island to see it.

The Keys are unforgiving to an unattended building. Salt air corrodes fixtures and hardware. Humidity feeds mold behind furniture and inside AC systems. A slow leak that would be a nuisance in a dry climate becomes a mold problem here in a matter of weeks. Landscaping that went two months untouched is not overgrown — it is a violation notice and a storm hazard. And an empty-looking property tells everyone driving past exactly how empty it is.

Under The Sun Property Care is the set of eyes on the ground. We manage the property the way you would if you were here.

What Property Maintenance Management Actually Covers

Property maintenance management with us is not a separate company subcontracting the work back out. We are the crew, and we keep the building in shape year-round. Everything below is performed by our own people:

• Scheduled exterior washing. Pressure washing and soft washing on a recurring schedule so growth never gets established. This is the single highest-value line item for an absentee owner — mold and algae compound, and catching them early costs a fraction of restoring a surface that has been neglected for two years.
• Landscaping and yard maintenance. Regular lawn care, palm trimming, and tropical plant upkeep so the property reads as occupied and stays code-compliant.
• Gutter and storm preparation. Gutters cleared before the season, loose growth cut back, and a walk-through ahead of an incoming system.
• Interior cleaning. Recurring and turnover cleaning by screened, trained staff.
• Windows, pavers, and surfaces. Salt film removal and paver cleaning and sealing as part of the rotation, not as emergency calls.
• Property checks. Regular walk-throughs with photo documentation so you see the condition of your property without flying down.

How It Works

We start with a walk-through of the property and a conversation about how you use it — full-time second home, seasonal, guest property, or sitting vacant between uses. Those need different schedules, and there is no reason to pay for a turnover cadence on a property nobody enters for four months.

From there we build a maintenance calendar covering the exterior wash rotation, landscaping frequency, storm-season preparation, and any interior cleaning. You get one schedule, one invoice, and one number to call. After each visit you get photos.

The point of a schedule is that nothing becomes an emergency. Washing on a rotation costs a fraction of restoring a surface that went two years untouched, and a gutter cleared in May is cheaper than a wall repaired in October.
