Why Current Tides Is the Best Choice for Your Vacation Rental Property
When it comes to managing your vacation rental property in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, Alabama, the decision between a local, dedicated property management company run by a team of locals and a giant, international corporation with employees scattered across the globe can make all the difference.
At Current Tides Vacation Rentals, our deep roots in the community and personalized approach set us apart from the competition. Here’s why working with a local company like ours is the smarter choice for property owners.
The Expertise That Only Local Knowledge Can Provide
Dixie Taylor, our Director of Operations, brings a wealth of experience to Current Tides. Having spent a decade with Meyer Vacation Rentals—formerly one of the largest local vacation rental management companies on the Alabama and Northwest Florida Gulf Coast—Dixie has mastered the intricacies of managing beach condos and houses. “At Meyer, I learned the importance of understanding each property’s unique characteristics and how to market them effectively,” Dixie explains. “This local insight is something that huge, hollow, nameless, faceless corporations just can’t replicate.”
Dixie’s experience includes overseeing guest services and managing sales teams, ensuring everything from front desk operations to housekeeping runs smoothly. This comprehensive background enables Dixie to provide unparalleled service to our property owners and guests alike. “At Current Tides, we’re not just managing properties; we’re building relationships and creating memorable experiences,” she adds.
Meet Our Fearless Leaders/Company Owners
At Current Tides, our team is committed to offering personalized service that large companies simply can’t match. Our mission is to create an exceptional vacation experience for our guests while building strong, lasting relationships with our property owners.
- Regina and Eric have been successfully managing and owning vacation rentals in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach since 2003. Their passion for property management and real estate stems from their extensive experience in owning single-family homes and multi-family apartment complexes across several states. “As owners ourselves, we understand the specific needs of other owners,” they say. “We know what it takes to provide the vacation experience that guests are looking for in this area.”
- Ryan and Shari moved to the Gulf Shores area in 2012 and were immediately captivated by its charm. Ryan’s deep knowledge of real estate and beach properties, combined with Shari’s years of guest service experience, make them a dynamic duo. “Our goal has always been to build meaningful relationships with our clients and guests,” Ryan shares. “We wanted to create a company that stands apart from others by truly caring for the people we do business with.”
- Amy brings extensive experience in property management and business, with 28 years of accounting experience and an MBA. Her background as a rental property owner and active investor gives her a unique perspective on the importance of customer service, tenant relations, and financial accuracy. Amy’s bilingual husband, Juan, complements the team with his expertise in maintenance, having worked as a hotel maintenance engineer.

Our children attend local schools, and we participate in local events, giving us a genuine investment in the success of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
“Our local presence means we’re always here when you need us,” Dixie emphasizes. “Whether it’s responding to a last-minute issue or offering tailored advice to maximize your rental income, you can count on us to be there. Plus, we make switching from another property management company completely seamless.”
