Hey there! I'm Doug. I am a business strategist, investor, and mentor. The only thing I love more than helping fellow entrepreneurs create success—is traveling with my pup Hero. Whether to the beach or the hills... on a boat or a snowmobile, if it keeps me busy and enjoying life... count me in! After experiencing many short-term rentals during my travels, I was inspired to create incredibly memorable experiences for others by never settling for “good enough.” With my entrepreneurial experience in perfecting processes and procedures, you can count on a five-star experience at any property we manage. Simply put, I have always loved entertaining guests. From dinner parties to game nights, I show gratitude and admiration for others through yummy food, crafty drinks, and good times! I hope my desire to marry my love for travel with my passion for serving others shines through during your stay. And because there is always room for improvement, I love and appreciate the gift of honest feedback. So, if you feel there is any way we can improve, please message us directly. We'd love to hear from you. Until then… Life is short. Life is now. Travel safe. Travel often. With gratitude. ~Doug
