Our Hosting Journey: How It All Began!

It all started with a pretty simple yet heartfelt idea: creating a space where people could come together, feel truly at home, and share some unforgettable experiences. We just wanted to connect with others on a deeper level and provide travelers with a cozy, welcoming spot to land after their journeys. Back in 2017, we were working with a rental company focusing solely on long-term rentals, fueled by a whole lot of determination and passion. Then, in 2018, Hurricane Michael completely devastated Panama City, FL, and we were forced to start entirely from scratch. Through sheer hard work and perseverance, we rebuilt from the ground up, making the bold decision to shift our focus to short-term hosting—and we haven’t looked back since. By learning as we went and truly listening to the needs and feedback of our guests, we’ve grown into something far bigger and more meaningful than we ever imagined. By zeroing in on the little things that truly matter—exceptional quality, unmatched attention to detail, and good old-fashioned hospitality—we’ve managed to build something we’re genuinely proud of. These days, we remain as passionate as ever about hosting, approaching every guest’s stay with the same level of excitement and care, and constantly searching for ways to make each experience a memorable one. That’s our story so far, and honestly, it’s this journey and connection with others that keeps us excited and loving what we do every single day.
