Vacation rentals
Vacation Rental Appliance Service in Panama City Beach & 30A
Appliance Doctor repairs and installs appliances for vacation rentals and second homes along the Gulf, from Panama City Beach and Mexico Beach to Seaside, Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach on 30A.
Who this is for
Owners and managers of rental and second homes
Property managers
You look after several rentals and need a company that can coordinate access, payment and scheduling for each one. See property managers & trade partners.
Second-home owners
Your home sits empty part of the year. Refrigerators that were switched off, washers that sat unused and appliances that were moved can all cause problems when you return.
How it works
Service when guests, owners or tenants are not home
We can enter unoccupied residences when we have an appropriate method of entry and payment arranged ahead of time. Tell us who we should contact, how we get in (a lockbox, a code or a person who will meet us), and how the visit will be paid for, and we will plan the visit around it.
- The property address and the community or building name.
- Entry instructions and a contact for the property, plus any gate, elevator or parking rules for contractors.
- The person authorized to approve diagnosis and additional repairs, and when the next guest arrives.
- The appliance brand, model and serial number, and what it is doing. Our model and serial number guide shows where to look.
- How the visit will be paid for. We accept credit cards, debit cards, checks and cash.
Plan ahead
Our schedule, honestly
We schedule during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM) and do not provide emergency or after-hours service. Availability depends on the area and averages under a week, so a problem found between guests should be reported as soon as you can. The sooner we have the address, the model and access details, the sooner we can plan the visit.
Service visit
$150 service visit & diagnostic fee
The fee covers the technician's trip, diagnosis, and basic repairs that take under 30 minutes. The fee is not credited toward a larger repair. If a repair needs more time, parts, or specialized work, we give you a repair quote before proceeding. Repairs carry a 30-day labor & diagnostic warranty. See warranty terms.
Common calls
Appliances that work hard in rentals
Laundry
Washers and dryers run constantly between stays. Dryer vents clog, and washers can stop draining or spinning. See dryer not heating, dryer takes too long to dry and washer not spinning or draining.
Kitchen
Dishwashers collect debris and refrigerators work in hot, humid, salty air. See dishwasher not draining and refrigerator not cooling.
Outdoor and gas
Salt air is hard on grills, fire features and gas lanterns. See outdoor kitchens & grills and gas lantern installation.
Questions
Rental and second-home questions
Can you service a vacation rental when no one is home?
Yes. We can enter unoccupied residences when we have an appropriate method of entry and payment arranged ahead of time. Tell us how we get in, who to call, and how the visit will be paid for when you request service.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours service for guest problems?
No. We schedule service during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM, and do not offer emergency or after-hours service. Availability depends on the area and averages under a week, so report appliance problems early, before the next guest arrives.

“Ron and his team replaced and repaired a bunch of our gas lanterns throughout the community. I can't say enough what a great job he did and the follow through is on point.”
