Our Story

Local Since Day One

We've lived in Southern Coastal Maine our whole lives. We know the towns, the seasons, the guests who come back every summer, and the owners who want their properties looked after properly. Before starting this company, we spent over 20 years combined in Fortune 500 companies. That background shapes how we run things: clear communication, reliable follow-through, and no surprises. We've been managing short-term rentals for more than five years and built the business around one-on-one service, not a call center. We're Airbnb Superhosts, which means we maintain a guest response rate of 90% or higher, a cancellation rate of 1% or lower, and a guest satisfaction rating of 4.8 stars or higher. That's not a badge we display lightly.

Life Here

We Actually Live Here

You'll find us at Congdon's on a Saturday morning, mountain biking with our dogs, kayaking the estuary, or catching a run along the beach before the summer crowds arrive. This isn't a market we manage remotely. It's where we live. That matters when a pipe bursts at 11pm, when a guest needs a restaurant recommendation, or when you want someone who genuinely knows what your property is worth in July versus October. We're five minutes away, not five states over.
