Owner & GENERAL MANAGER

About US

Hi, I’m Steven, the founder of First Light Property Management. I was born and raised right here in Orlando, Florida, where I grew up exploring all the magic of Disney, Universal, and everything in between. With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry and a degree in Hospitality from the University of Florida, I’ve built my career around creating memorable guest experiences and smooth operational systems behind the scenes.

Before starting First Light, I worked in large-scale events and operations, where I developed a strong appreciation for leadership, teamwork, and the value of well-run systems and processes. As an Eagle Scout, those early lessons in responsibility and service continue to guide how I approach every property we manage.

I started this boutique Airbnb property management company because I genuinely enjoy optimizing short-term rentals to reach their highest income potential. I believe each property is unique and deserves a personalized strategy—not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s the difference you get with a boutique management company: hands-on attention, local expertise, and someone who truly knows what it takes to create five-star experiences for guests while maximizing returns for owners.

Whether you’re new to hosting or looking to elevate your existing listing, I’m here to help you make the most of your investment with care, professionalism, and a deep understanding of what makes Central Florida shine.

Glowing Reviews by Our New Braunfels Guests

We treat your guests like family, always going the extra mile to earn repeat business, 5-star reviews and increased revenue for you.

The home was adorable! Super comfy and cozy. My husband and I had the most relaxing time. Also, right in the middle New Braunfels which was perfect for us since we were going to both places. Kristian was a spectacular host. Very helpful and quick to respond. We plan to stay again!

This house was wonderful! It was clean and such a great location. You can walk downtown if you’re up for a slightly longer walk, otherwise the drive is only 2 minutes. Kristian was also very responsive and able to accommodate our special requests. Looking forward to staying again!

Wonderful home in New Braunfels! Very clean, wifi was great, and essential grocery stores were just 2 minutes away. Our host, Kristian, made our entire stay perfect. Answering all of our questions and ensuring we had an amazing stay.

Best value in New Braunfels for a family as far as I'm concerned. We had a great Thanksgiving Weekend in New Braunfels at Kristian's place and would (will) do it again in a heartbeat.

My family and I had an absolute blast in New Braunfels. The home was sparkling clean, well stocked and super comfortable. Kristian was so nice and accommodating. Every single question was answered instantly. We can't wait to come back.

Our girls trip to New Braunfels was amazing. The home was incredibly clean, super close to downtown, great neighborhood, had the essentials that we needed, and had enough bedding to accommodate all of us. Kristian was a fantastic host. Gave us some wonderful restaurant recommendations and was super attentive to all of our questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do vacation rental property management companies charge in Orlando, Kissimmee, and Davenport?

The typical fee for short-term rental property management in Central Florida ranges from 20% to 40%, depending on the level of service provided. Some companies offer lower-cost, partial management services—but those often leave you handling tasks like coordinating cleanings, restocking supplies, and managing guests.

We take a different approach. As a local, full-service boutique management company, we handle everything from top to bottom—ensuring your property runs smoothly and profitably. We even offer in-house revenue management to help your property earn as much as possible while remaining competitively priced.

👉 We give you the best of both worlds. You get hands-on, locally based management paired with the efficiency and tools of larger national brands—all at a competitive rate and with a personal touch.

Are Airbnb vacation rentals allowed in Orlando, Kissimmee, and Davenport?

Yes, short-term rentals are allowed in these areas—but there are important rules and regulations to keep in mind.

First, you’ll need to verify if your property is in a zone that allows short-term rentals and whether your HOA or community has specific requirements. Then, depending on the county your property is located in, you may need to submit applications such as:

Osceola County: TDT (Tourist Development Tax) and BTR (Business Tax Receipt)
Polk & Davenport: TDT and BTR
All of Florida: A state license and tax forms via the Florida Department of Revenue

Helpful resources:
Osceola County | Polk County | State of Florida

✨ We’ll handle all of the paperwork and applications for you, so you can stay stress-free knowing your property is fully compliant, secure, and guest-ready.

Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Orlando, Kissimmee, and Davenport?

Yes—but the details depend on how you receive bookings.

Short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo often collect and remit taxes on your behalf. However, if you take direct bookings, it becomes your responsibility to collect and remit applicable taxes, which may include:

Florida sales tax
Tourist development tax
Municipal room tax

These vary depending on your property’s location.

💼 We simplify tax compliance by handling it for you.
We work with trusted professionals and our corporate partners to ensure all taxes are filed accurately and on time, so you can focus on maximizing revenue without the administrative stress.
