Will you look for an apartment/condo or a single family property? Will you need parking for 1 car or multiple cars? Do you want to cook meals in the home or go out to eat nearby? There are literally limitless questions on what the ideal vacation...

The age old debate in the vacation rental world for property owners comes down to this; should I manage my rental home myself and make as much money as possible or should I turn it over to a manager and free up my time and life? Well, if you haven't started down the do-it-yourself path, then you may think that the time and energy it takes to manage a property yourself is minimal, that all guests...

Why We Should Keep Traveling

The world seems to be an uneasy place these days. We’re both more connected than ever before in history, but also more aware of the dangers of being far from home. Whether there’s a terrorism event like in Paris last week or a natural disaster, news of catastrophe travels instantly. Our smaller world means we’re also more likely to know someone in the area affected by...
