Hurricane season is right around the corner. At Second Home Services, we help absentee homeowners prepare for hurricane season with home checks, storm prep coordination, securing outdoor items, post-storm inspections, and peace of mind while you’re away.

NOAA has released its 2026 Atlantic hurricane forecast, predicting a below-normal season. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with a 55% chance of below-normal activity, 35% chance of near-normal, and 10% chance of above-normal.

There is still uncertainty in how each season will unfold, that is why it’s essential to review your hurricane preparedness plan now. It only takes one storm to make for a very bad season.

Homes require regular service. Today, most homeowners employ at least one service company. Whether it’s your pool service and landscaper or pest control, someone needs to monitor them while you are away. SHS will inspect your property to ensure it is properly maintained and work with your vendors when an issue arises.
We can also provide interior access when needed to your vendors.

Many Florida homeowners don’t realize this until it’s too late… especially if they own a second home or travel frequently.

If a pipe bursts while your home sits unattended for an extended period of time, your insurance claim may not automatically be covered. Many policies have specific language regarding vacant or unoccupied homes and may require regular property checks, maintained utilities, or other precautions.

A small leak discovered quickly can be manageable. A leak that goes unnoticed for weeks can turn into catastrophic water damage, mold, flooring issues, and denied claims.

Regular home watch visits help provide peace of mind by making sure someone is keeping an eye on your property while you’re away.

If you own a vacation home or seasonal property, it’s a good idea to review your policy and understand:
• How long your home can be unoccupied
• Whether routine checks are required
• What water damage limitations may apply

Being proactive now can save a major headache later. Contact us now for that piece of mind.

Your home away from home deserves more than an occasional check-in. At My Second Home Services, we provide trusted second-home oversight and concierge support for homeowners along the Emerald Coast — from Destin and Miramar Beach to Scenic 30A and West Panama City Beach.

We understand the unique challenges of owning a property you can’t see every day. Unexpected leaks, storm damage, humidity issues, HVAC failures, security concerns, and vendor coordination can quickly become stressful from hundreds of miles away. Our goal is simple: give you peace of mind.

Our routine home watch visits include detailed visual inspections of your property’s interior and exterior, checking for signs of water intrusion, mold or mildew concerns, HVAC irregularities, pest activity, storm-related issues, and other problems before they become costly emergencies. After every visit, you receive timely updates and documentation so you always know the condition of your home.

Beyond inspections, we also help coordinate trusted local vendors and provide concierge-style support tailored to your needs — whether that’s storm preparation, meeting contractors, overseeing repairs, preparing your home for arrival, or assisting with housekeeping coordination.

At My Second Home Services, we believe second-home ownership should feel relaxing — not like managing a remote crisis. We serve as your local eyes, ears, and trusted point of contact so you can enjoy your property with confidence, wherever you are.
