The History of Collins Vacation Rentals
Back in July of 1973, Alice D. Collins Realty was founded here on St. George Island by Alice Collins. After specializing in the sales and rentals of recreational properties on SGI, the company joined forces with CENTURY 21 in 1992 to become CENTURY 21 Collins Realty Inc. before finally transforming into Collins Vacation Rentals Inc. in 1994.
President/Owner Alice Collins has guided the helm of Collins Vacation Rentals through many idyllic summers, hurricanes seasons (with major damage from Hurricanes Kate and Opal) and a devastating fire that destroyed the original building in the 1980s. Fortunately, all lives were spared and the structure was soon rebuilt - thanks to the compassion and community spirit of employees and islanders alike. Within two months, a new office building was constructed on the ruins of the old site. A "west wing" was added in the spring of 2004, increasing the office space to a 6,650 sq. ft. facility for CENTURY 21 Collins Realty, Inc. and Collins Vacation Rentals, Inc.
