A little bit about me

Managing vacation homes came as a bit of an AHA! Moment while I was vacationing back in 2019. As an airline employee and travel blogger, I have done a bit of traveling while staying in Airbnb’s and loving the added value that the platform has given me on my adventures. I loved the personal feeling of knowing “a friend” in a new place and my hosts have been nothing but amazing to me. Whether it was showing me around town, giving me National Park passes to explore the area or just offering me some morning coffee – It felt good to know I was in a safe place with good people who were willing to share some local treasures with me.That’s always been the part of Airbnb that I love and the reason why I continue to use the platform – worldwide!

I had been in real estate for some years and I have always sort of hated it – it wasn’t my passion. While sitting in my Airbnb in Hawaii, I thought – I should manage vacation homes and that’s pretty much how it started. I had a friend that had a duplex in Treasure Island, FL and she said hey – manage my home for Airbnb. I did, I fell in love with it and during the 2020 covid lockdown I decided to expand and start an actual business. I love helping people explore the area.I love adding a fun travel feature to my homes with a hand made guide book. I love interacting with other travelers and I can talk travel all day!! I like to provide local itineraries on my site to give my guests the best experience when exploring the area while enjoying my space. I don’t enjoy traditional real estate as much – but I am always excited to help those find the perfect income producing vacation home! If it has anything to do with vacationing and having a good time – count me IN!

Looking forward to hosting you!

Managing short term rentals was a bit of an AHA moment for me, while vacationing back in 2019. As an airline employee and travel blogger, I had done a bit of traveling while staying in Airbnb’s and loving the added value that the platform had given my adventures.

I love the personal feeling of knowing “a friend” in a new place and my hosts have been nothing short of amazing. Whether it was showing me around town, giving me National Park passes to explore the park or just offering me some morning coffee, it feels good to know I am in a safe place with people who are willing to share some local treasures with me. That’s always been the part of Airbnb that I love and the reason why I continue to use the platform - worldwide!

At the time, I had already been in traditional real estate for some years and it never sparked a true passion with me. While enjoying an Airbnb in Hawaii I had the bright idea to get into property management for vacation rentals and I've never looked back.

I love helping my guests explore the area to discover the town from a locals perspective and I love making my clients an income they can live on. I still don’t enjoy traditional real estate as much - but I am always excited to help those find the perfect income producing vacation home! If it has anything to do with vacationing and having a good time - count me IN!
Looking forward to hosting you!
