How 360 Blue is Leading the Way on Florida’s Gulf Coast

At 360 Blue, we believe an unforgettable vacation experience should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’re proud to be an early adopter of the Becoming rentABLE certification program, a national initiative focused on increasing the availability of accessible short-term rentals.

 

Why Accessibility Matters

For millions of travelers with disabilities, finding a vacation rental that suits their needs can be a challenge. From narrow doorways to inaccessible bathrooms, traditional properties often fall short. Becoming rentABLE was created to bridge that gap, offering a comprehensive evaluation system that helps property owners transform their homes into inclusive, welcoming spaces.

The platform uses 43 detailed mobility accessibility filters—ranging from step-free entry and roll-in showers to accessible kitchen design—to ensure that travelers can find accommodations that fit their individual needs.

 

360 Blue: A Partner in Inclusive Travel

As one of the first vacation rental companies on Florida’s Gulf Coast to partner with Becoming rentABLE, 360 Blue has taken proactive steps to make inclusivity a core part of our mission. We’ve worked with property owners to identify and implement upgrades that enhance accessibility—from installing bathroom grab bars to offering homes with zero-step entries.

These modifications aren’t just about compliance—they’re about comfort, dignity, and opening our coastal communities to a wider group of travelers.


Expanding Opportunities for Owners

For homeowners, Becoming rentABLE means more than just doing the right thing—it’s also a smart business decision. The accessible travel market in the U.S. is valued at over $58 billion annually. By upgrading homes to meet Becoming rentABLE standards, owners can increase occupancy rates and stand out in a competitive rental market.

Our team at 360 Blue offers guidance and support throughout the certification process, making it easier for homeowners to embrace inclusive hospitality.

 

Resources That Empower

Becoming rentABLE also provides a wealth of educational content, from accessibility improvement tips to inspiring stories. For homeowners looking to take the next step, the platform offers a roadmap to making properties more inclusive without compromising style or comfort.
