Cocoa Beach beachfront condo purchased - Evolve, Vacasa, or?
Hey guys
So we recently closed on a beach front condo down in Cocoa Beach area. The unit allows weekly rentals and is furnished. We are doing some updates to the place to get it ready for STR, such as replacing all flooring with LVT, new baseboard trim throughout, new paint throughout and furnishing the place.
Wondering if anyone has had good luck with Evolve, or Vacasa, or can suggest another place down there? From what we have gathered, evolve is more hands on with more responsibilities we would have to do, but they have a lower percentage and therefore we should be able to earn more. I believe both market the place on our behalf as well.
Perhaps someone has had good luck with another place down there and would be so kind to share their experiences, or hop on a quick call.
Thanks in advance!

Little uneasy about trying to self-manage it. We live in the Twin Cities (MN) and its a long ways away if something goes wrong. Was hoping to initially get it up and running with some help.
Have you guys ever done 'co-host' option? I'm trying to look into that as well. The place will be ready in about a month, so I have some time to make a decision on it. Just looking to make the best educated decision :)
