Home Watch & Property Sitting — Tequesta, FL
Your home, watched
the way you'd watch it.
Keepers Cove checks on Tequesta homes while their owners are away — walking every room, logging what we find, and catching small problems before hurricane season, humidity, or an empty mailbox turns them into big ones.
Owner-operated, serving Tequesta, Jupiter, and the Loxahatchee River corridor. Seasonal and year-round schedules, from $50 a visit. See pricing

Why an empty house needs a watcher
Florida is hard on a home nobody's in.
-
01
Air conditioning is the whole ballgame
A failed A/C unit in South Florida's humidity can seed mold behind walls and in cabinetry within 24–48 hours. A vacant house has no one to notice the thermostat has stopped responding.
-
02
Hurricane season runs six months
June 1 through November 30, Tequesta sits on the same coast as everyone else watching the tropics. Shutters need to go up, patio furniture needs to come in, and someone needs to check the roof and yard the moment it's safe to go back out.
-
03
A full mailbox is a for-sale sign
Stacked packages and flyers on the porch are one of the clearest signals a house is empty. Clearing them, and coordinating with landscapers, pool techs, and delivery drivers, keeps the property looking lived-in.
-
04
Small leaks don't stay small
A slow leak under a sink or a pool losing water overnight is cheap to fix on day one and expensive to fix on day thirty. Regular eyes on the property catch it while it's still day one.
What We Do
Six ways we keep watch.
Every plan is built around scheduled walkthroughs — add the pieces your property actually needs. See plans & pricing
House Watch Visits
Interior and exterior walkthroughs on a schedule you set — weekly, every other week, or twice weekly through hurricane season — each one logged and reported.
Storm Prep & Response
Shutter and tie-down checks before landfall, and a documented damage inspection as soon as it's safe to return.
Pool & Grounds Oversight
A visual pool and equipment check every visit, with chemical testing available, plus confirming your landscaping and irrigation crews actually showed up.
Mail, Package & Vendor Coordination
Collecting mail and deliveries, and letting in contractors, inspectors, or insurance adjusters when you can't be there.
Arrival-Ready Concierge
A/C set to temperature, fridge stocked from your list, and the house opened up before you land for the season.
Emergency Coordination
If a visit turns up water, an alarm, or storm damage, we call you immediately and coordinate the right trade. After-hours response is available to weekly clients; suspected break-ins go to law enforcement first.
How It Works
Four steps, every visit.
The same process whether it's your first walkthrough or your two-hundredth.
1
Set a cadence
We build a visit schedule and checklist around your home — and your travel calendar.
2
We visit & document
A walkthrough inside and out, with timestamped photos at every stop on the checklist.
3
You get the report
A written report lands in your inbox the same day — clear, or flagged for follow-up.
4
We flag & act
Anything unusual gets a phone call first, then coordination with a trusted local trade.
The Visit Report
What actually gets checked.
A house watch visit is only useful if it's specific. Every report walks through the same core points, plus anything particular to your property.
- Exterior
Doors, windows, and roofline — signs of forced entry, storm damage, or wear.
- Climate
A/C operation and interior temperature — logged every visit to catch failures early.
- Water
Pool, irrigation, and under-sink lines — checked for leaks, cloudy water, or equipment faults.
- Grounds
Landscaping and driveway — confirming your lawn and pool crews are keeping their schedule.
- Deliveries
Mail, packages, and flyers — collected and brought inside, never left stacking up.

Questions
Before you call.
How often should someone check on our house?
Most seasonal residents book weekly visits while they're away, moving to twice weekly through hurricane season. Year-round owners who travel often use us on an as-needed basis. We'll help you pick a cadence when we walk the property together.
How much does home watch cost?
Visits start at $50 for condos and villas and are priced by the size of your home — most single-family homes are $65 a visit. You're billed monthly for the visits we actually make, with no long-term contract. See full pricing and add-ons.
Who actually visits my house?
Keepers Cove is owner-operated — the owner personally walks your property every visit. There's no rotating roster of contractors and no subcontracting to a franchise network, so the person who learns your house is the same person checking on it.
What happens if a visit turns up a problem?
You get a phone call first — not just an email later. From there we can coordinate a plumber, A/C tech, pool service, or storm-damage contractor on your behalf, and document everything for your insurance file if needed.
Do you carry keys, or use a lockbox?
Whichever you're more comfortable with. Keys are logged and stored separately from any address information, and only the owner has access to them.
Do you watch rental properties?
We service vacant, owner-occupied properties only — seasonal homes and second homes. Before our first visit we verify ownership against county property records and meet you or your property manager in person, so we only ever enter a home with the owner's authorization.
Are you insured?
Yes — Keepers Cove is bonded and carries general liability coverage. Certificates are available on request before your first visit.
Can you handle arrival and departure prep?
Yes. We can open the house, set the A/C, run water through the lines, and have groceries in the fridge before you land — and reverse the process, including a final walkthrough, when you head back north.
Get Started
Let's walk your property together.
The first visit is a free walkthrough with you or your property manager — we'll verify ownership, build your checklist, agree on a schedule, and give you an exact rate on the spot.
