Property management built for the way Tampa actually rents.
Tampa is not the rest of Tampa Bay. Rents sit inside the Westshore / downtown / USF employment triangle and move differently than St. Pete or the beaches. HOA density is higher in New Tampa, Westchase, and parts of South Tampa than owners expect. And a meaningful share of our Tampa owners are out-of-state — which means the city pages, maintenance coordination, and portal access have to carry more weight than in a hands-on local market. Ocean Blue was built around all three. We market with 3D virtual tours and multi-platform syndication, screen every applicant through a uniform written process, and give owners an honest weekly days-on-market report — not a leasing guarantee we can't keep.
Who we help in Tampa
Ocean Blue works with a mix of local owners, first-time landlords, and out-of-state investors. If you fit one of these profiles, your situation is one we handle every week.
Out-of-state investors
You own a rental in South Tampa, New Tampa, or Westshore but you live somewhere else. We handle every local step — showings, inspections, maintenance, move-ins — and give you a 24/7 owner portal with itemized statements.
First-time Tampa landlords
You kept your old home after moving. We walk you through Florida landlord-tenant basics (disclosures, security-deposit rules, Fair Housing), price the rental correctly, and list it the same week the keys are in our hands.
Small portfolio owners
You own 2-10 homes scattered across Tampa and don't want to manage a patchwork of subcontractors and tenant messages. We consolidate everything into one portal with one accounting statement per month.
Agents with landlord clients
Your client just turned a listing into a rental. We manage it, keep the relationship clean, and refer the tenant back to you when they’re ready to buy. See /agent-referral for the full partnership terms.
What owners need in Tampa
Pricing that reflects Tampa neighborhoods, not Tampa Bay averages
South Tampa, Seminole Heights, and the Westshore / Channel District corridor don’t rent like New Tampa or Brandon. Regional averages bury the difference. We price per neighborhood against recently-leased comps — not county-wide aggregates and not last year’s numbers.
Hillsborough-specific HOA and permit friction
Westchase, New Tampa master-planned communities, and downtown condo towers come with HOA rental restrictions, background-check overlays, and move-in paperwork that will delay occupancy if you don’t know the sequence. We keep a working playbook for the HOAs we’ve already worked with.
Fast, well-syndicated listings
3D virtual tour, professional photos, full-text description, and same-day syndication to Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Apartments.com, HotPads, and 20+ more platforms. Showings start within days of the listing going live.
Uniform, Fair-Housing-compliant screening
Credit, background, income (typically 3× monthly rent), and rental-history verification applied the same way to every applicant. Written screening criteria on file. No one-off judgment calls.
Maintenance with a Hillsborough vendor bench
Owner-set authorization thresholds, vendor quotes shared before work, and photos of every completed repair. Most Tampa trades can be on-site same or next day because our vendor bench is concentrated inside Hillsborough County.
Why Ocean Blue in Tampa
Licensed Florida broker
Ocean Blue PM holds Florida Real Estate Broker License BK3616394. Broker of record: Thomas P. Corinti. All leasing, management, and trust accounting run under that license.
Faster vacancy fills
The combination of 3D virtual tours, professional photos, and syndication moves more showings through the listing in the first 72 hours — when demand is highest.
Transparent owner reporting
Every statement itemized. Every invoice visible. Every vacancy reported weekly with real days-on-market. We don’t hide slow months behind a quarterly summary.
How we market rentals in Tampa
Every Tampa listing we publish gets a Matterport-style 3D walk-through so renters self-qualify before they book a showing. That cuts wasted showings for you and compresses days-on-market.

Frequently asked questions
Which Tampa neighborhoods do you manage in?
South Tampa, New Tampa, Seminole Heights, Westshore, Tampa Heights, Davis Islands, Carrollwood, Ybor-adjacent, and Brandon/Riverview on the east side. If you own outside these pockets, call us — we still manage a meaningful share of the rest of Hillsborough County.
What do Tampa owners most often need help with?
Two things: pricing the property correctly for the current Tampa market (rents have moved a lot, both directions, since 2022) and filling vacancies without dropping to the 'wrong' tenant. Our 3D tours, syndication, and screening process are built around both problems.
Do you manage condos and townhomes in Tampa, or only single-family?
Both. A large portion of our Tampa portfolio is single-family homes, but we also manage condos, townhomes, and small multifamily. HOA-heavy communities add some coordination work, which we handle on the owner’s behalf.
How much does property management cost?
Monthly management and leasing fees vary by property type, location, and service tier. We publish a transparent fee schedule after a free rental analysis — no obligation and no setup fee. Call (813) 246-4314 or request a quote through the form on this page.
How quickly can you place a qualified tenant?
Once photography, the 3D virtual tour, and syndication are live, most properties start generating showings within days. Days-on-market depends on pricing, condition, and season; we report it honestly in every weekly vacancy update instead of promising a fixed window.
Do you work with out-of-state owners?
Yes. A large share of our owners live outside Florida. We handle every in-person step locally (showings, move-ins, inspections, maintenance) and push everything else to a 24/7 owner portal with itemized statements, work orders, and year-end 1099s.
Are you a licensed Florida real estate brokerage?
Yes. Ocean Blue Property Management, Inc. holds Florida Real Estate Broker License BK3616394, issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The broker of record is Thomas P. Corinti.
How does tenant screening work?
Every applicant is screened through credit, background, income (typically 3× monthly rent), and rental-history verification. Screening criteria are applied uniformly to every applicant in compliance with the federal Fair Housing Act and the Florida Fair Housing Act.
