Revenue Management
Hospitality, Rooted in Experience
Who We Are
At In The Sun, we believe five-star stays aren’t about fancy buzzwords — they’re about showing up.
That belief comes from experience, from family, and from being deeply rooted in St. Augustine long before this became a business.
I’m Seth Balogh. While I’m originally from Michigan, St. Augustine has been part of my life since childhood. I’ve vacationed here for as long as I can remember, had family living here my entire life, and learned to swim, surf, boogie board, and fish along these beaches. This place shaped who I am — and ultimately, how we approach hospitality.
In 2022, my wife and I began our real estate journey with the same trust many owners place in property management. That trust was broken. What we experienced was hands-off oversight, poor communication, and a lack of care for both the home and the guests — something we knew immediately didn’t align with how we wanted our family’s investment treated.
So we did what felt natural: we stepped in ourselves.
Together, as a family, we learned what true hospitality looks like. We focused on meticulous cleanliness, immediate communication, and the small, thoughtful details that make guests feel genuinely welcomed — especially families traveling with children, just like ours. Through that process, we realized there was a clear gap in the St. Augustine market.
Owners didn’t need another property manager.
They needed a team that cared as much as they did.
That’s how In The Sun was born.
Today, In The Sun is a family-driven hospitality company built on trust, responsiveness, and accountability. We combine thoughtfully designed homes, obsessive cleanliness, and near-instant guest support to create stays that families actually feel. With 381 five-star reviews and counting, our reputation reflects the care we put into every home and every guest experience.
This isn’t hands-off hosting.
This is hospitality done right — built together, as a family.

Data-Driven Revenue Management
Our revenue management services are built to maximize your short-term rental’s earning potential through advanced pricing strategy, market analysis, and performance optimization. We actively manage rates based on real-time demand, seasonality, events, and competitive positioning—ensuring your property is never underpriced or left behind. The goal is simple: higher revenue, smarter pricing, and consistent performance without guesswork.
Dynamic Pricing & Market Intelligence
We leverage dynamic pricing tools combined with hands-on market expertise to adjust rates daily based on supply, demand, booking pace, and competitor performance. This proactive approach allows us to capitalize on high-demand periods while staying competitive during slower seasons. By continuously monitoring market trends and booking behavior, we help you capture peak revenue when demand spikes and maintain strong occupancy year-round.
Occupancy & ADR Optimization
Revenue growth isn’t just about higher nightly rates—it’s about finding the right balance between occupancy and average daily rate (ADR). We analyze booking windows, length-of-stay patterns, and historical performance to fine-tune pricing and minimum stay rules. This ensures your calendar fills efficiently, reduces gaps, and drives stronger total revenue without sacrificing guest quality.
Performance Tracking & Ongoing Strategy
Revenue management is not a one-time setup—it’s an ongoing strategy. We continuously track key performance metrics like occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, and booking trends to refine pricing decisions over time. As market conditions change, we adapt quickly, making strategic adjustments that keep your property competitive, profitable, and positioned for long-term success.
