The verdict in three sentences
In Naples, a property management company website aimed at seasonal owners costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, roughly 10 000 to 45 000 USD with an agency in Naples or Fort Myers, more if the quote includes a custom-built booking engine. Kolonell builds owner pages, your home watch offer, a seasonal rentals section linked to your booking tool and a hurricane preparedness page for a fixed price of 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD. The right yardstick is the cost over 3 years, property photos included, because in Naples they are the largest cost after the build.
What do Gulf Coast providers and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are cautious and are not official figures. They rest on public rate cards from agencies in Naples, Fort Myers and Sarasota, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by local agencies (often 95 to 165 USD per hour) and rates visible on Upwork.
| Criterion | Naples or Fort Myers agency | Local freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 order of magnitude | 10 000 to 45 000 USD | 3 000 to 9 000 USD | 2 900 / 4 900 / 8 900 USD, fixed price |
| Out-of-scope changes | 95 to 165 USD per hour | 50 to 95 USD per hour | Quoted before any work |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 14 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Seasonal bookings | Integration or custom engine | Simple integration | Integration of your tool; custom engine quoted separately |
| Residence photos | Often offered through a partner | Rarely | No, local photographer at your expense |
| English and French site | Rare | Rare | Possible in Premium |
| Ownership | Check | Check | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
A Naples agency can walk through a Port Royal villa with the photographer and know the Pelican Bay associations. Kolonell does not travel and does not photograph. The project manager works on Eastern Time through Google Meet calls and a weekly written update; the team is based in Senegal (GMT), four to five hours ahead of Naples. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % on delivery. Details are on our international website offer.
What does the site cost over 3 years, photos included?
Maintenance follows the same assumption on both sides, as Kolonell quotes it separately after the support period. Photos cover 20 seasonal residences.
| Item over 36 months | Local agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Site build | 26 000 USD | 8 900 USD |
| Booking tool integration | 16 hours at 150 USD, 2 400 USD | Included if the tool provides a widget; custom feed quoted |
| Included support | Per contract | 6 months |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 30 months at 150 USD, 4 500 USD | 4 500 USD, maintenance quoted separately |
| Photos of 20 residences | About 250 USD each, 5 000 USD | Same local photographer, 5 000 USD |
| Indicative total | About 37 900 USD | About 18 400 USD |
Use this table as a reading grid, not a forecast. Ask each provider for the cost of an extra season of photos and of a new residence page.
What does each package include for seasonal management?
| Item | Starter 2 900 USD | Growth 4 900 USD | Premium 8 900 USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owner pages | One services and fees page | Pages for annual rentals, seasonal rentals and home watch | Full section with onboarding process and reporting |
| Estimate request | Simple form | Qualified form (address, home or condo, absence period) | Qualified form routed by service |
| Available rentals | Link to your tool | Booking widget or embedded listings | Widget plus area pages (Old Naples, Park Shore, Marco Island) |
| Hurricane preparedness | One paragraph | Dedicated page with checklist | Dedicated page and post-storm contact procedure |
| Residents and guests | Link to the portal | Check-in and check-out FAQ page | Stay guides and maintenance request path |
| English and French site | No | No | Possible |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A custom-built booking engine or owner portal is an application quoted separately. Most Naples managers link their existing tool (Guesty, OwnerRez or the AppFolio portal for annual rentals). Ongoing SEO is quoted separately.
What does a Naples property management company need?
Naples lives by the season, from January to April. Many owners of condos in Park Shore, Pelican Bay or Vanderbilt Beach and of homes in Old Naples or the golf communities are only here a few months. They want someone to rent while they are away, or simply to watch the house, open and close the season and react after a storm. Since Hurricane Ian in 2022, preparation and post-storm follow-up have become central for them. The site should:
- Separate annual rentals, seasonal rentals and home watch, three services with different fees.
- Explain the hurricane procedure: before the season, during a warning, after landfall.
- Reassure remote owners with sample inspection reports.
- Display your licenses and, if you manage condo or homeowner associations, your association management activity.
On compliance, facts only. In Florida, managing property for others for compensation generally requires a real estate license from the Florida Real Estate Commission. Managing condo or homeowner associations with more than 10 units, or with an annual budget above 100 000 USD, requires a Community Association Manager license issued by the DBPR. Short-term rentals are subject to Florida sales tax and the county tourist development tax for stays of six months or less; a vacation rental license may also be required. The Florida Digital Bill of Rights mainly targets very large companies. WCAG 2.1 AA serves as the accessibility reference against ADA claims. This is not legal advice.

Which red flags should you watch for in quotes?
- A custom booking engine proposed when your tool provides a widget.
- A single services page mixing seasonal rentals and home watch.
- No hurricane preparedness page.
- Stock photos instead of your residences.
- A domain registered in the agency's name.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Linda K. runs a company managing 140 seasonal residences and providing home watch for 90 houses between Park Shore and Marco Island. A local agency quotes her 30 000 USD. She picks Kolonell Premium at 8 900 USD, a gap of 21 100 USD before photos. Assumption: one extra residence rented at 6 000 USD a month for 4 months of season, at a 20 % fee, brings 4 800 USD per season. The site does not guarantee that mandate; the calculation frames what is at stake.
