HOME WATCH SERVICE
Our flat-fee per-visit home watch service pricing applies to boats, condos, villas, apartments, townhouses, mobile homes, and single family homes in Nassau County, FL. Simple, transparent pricing. There is no pre-registration fee, no retainer fee, no change fee, and no cancellation fee.
We are the most price-transparent Home Watch company in Fernandina Beach, FL.
We specialize in Home Watch services for affluent individuals with multiple residences. Our Clients have a residence on Amelia Island, in Fernandina Beach, or Yulee in Nassau County, FL. Our Clients are away from their property for the season, departing in the spring, around March or April, as temperatures warm up in their northern homes. Our Clients usually return to Florida in the fall, around October or November, to escape the colder weather up north. Our boots on the ground visual inspections, in addition to any technology you may use, ensure issues that arise are able to be mitigated in your absence. We suspend Visits when the property is occupied and begin again when the property is vacant.
For those times when your property is occupied, we pause pre-scheduled visits and resume visits when the property is vacant.
Home Watch Clients who are away for an extended period of time normally do not have pets that would require more frequent visits. If you have pets, you can schedule as many Visits as you need at $25 per visit. Visits are up to one hour on-site.
WEEKLY, Bi-WEEKLY OR MONTHLY HOME WATCH VISITS
A normal Visit is defined as a pre-scheduled trip to your property during our normal business hours and an on-site time of up to 60-minutes.

As long as other tasks can be done within the first hour, there would be no additional fees involved in a Visit to your property. Weekly Visits are $25 per visit. Bi-Weekly Visits are $35 per visit.
