Help Us Rebuild After Hurricane Helene: Florida Beach Rental

Help Rebuild Clearwater Beach with Florida Beach Rentals

Who We Are

We are Paul VonFeldt and Lisa Bettner, proud owners of Florida Beach Rentals, a company that has served Clearwater Beach for over 20 years. We've had the privilege of helping families, friends, and travelers create unforgettable memories on these stunning white-sand shores.

But now, we find ourselves in a situation we never could have imagined.

The Impact of Hurricane Helene

As many of you know, Hurricane Helene recently majorly effected Clearwater Beach, causing catastrophic flooding and widespread damage. Our office was hit hard, with floodwaters reaching almost four feet high, destroying everything we own, from essential computers and phones to the tools we need to operate. We are now facing the enormous challenge of rebuilding—not just our office, but our beloved beach community.

A Message from Paul

"When I first started Florida Beach Rentals, my dream was to create a business that helped people enjoy the beauty of Clearwater Beach. Today, that dream faces an uncertain future. Our office is heavily damaged, many of the properties we manage need extensive repairs, and the community we love has been shaken to its core. But with your support, we can rebuild, we can restore, and we can continue to offer the hospitality that has made Clearwater Beach such a special place for so many. I humbly ask for your help as we work to recover and rebuild."

Florida Beach Rentals is more than just a business; it’s a cornerstone of the local economy. We support tourism, create jobs, and help sustain many other local businesses. Your generosity will directly contribute to our efforts to rebuild and reopen. Here’s how your donation will make an impact:

• Replacing Essential Equipment: The funds will be used to replace the computers, phones, and other equipment destroyed by floodwaters, allowing us to get back to business and continue serving our guests.

• Restoring Properties: Many of the vacation properties we manage have been severely damaged and need urgent repairs. These funds will also help ensure these homes are once again available for guests to enjoy.
