Why taking action creates success

Why taking action creates success

You may be thinking to yourself -- "My listing is doing just fine. I get a couple bookings a month and it pays the utilities and taxes...

It’s easy to look at other vacation rental owners (or their social media accounts) and feel like they’re miles ahead. But the truth? Every review, every repeat guest, every tiny improvement adds up to something BIG. Everyone starts somewhere and some of us need to start over at times! Almost every rental goes through "seasons" and you will have low periods and high periods as well.

Don’t get discouraged if your calendar (or bank account) isn’t where you want it yet. Keep taking the next right step—and remember, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

My DMs are always open if you need guidance or encouragement. ❤

Running a vacation rental isn’t always sunshine and 5-star reviews—there are tough days, unexpected hiccups, and moments where you wonder if it’s worth it.

But here’s the truth: every thriving host has been exactly where you are right now.
✨ You’ve got this.
✨ You’re learning.
✨ You’re building something amazing.

And you don’t have to do it alone. If you need strategies, a sounding board, or just someone who gets it—my DMs are always open and I LOVE helping new hosts (or seasoned ones who just need a fresh perspective)!

So much we could say here, but if you are like many - your vacation rental bookings feel down. Calendars aren't as full and you may feel a bit concerned about the future of your vacation rental.

HOWEVER, do NOT get stuck in the negative. Do NOT blame "oversaturated markets", there is so much in your control but you have to take a step back and take a fresh look at your vacation rental.

Look at:
- Decor
- Amenities
- Pricing
- Policies
- Fees
- Listing Description
- Photos

How can your vacation rental stand out from the crowd? What are you doing to ensure you capture last minute bookings?

THIS is the month to get your rental back in the game. Any delay is just lost revenue.

Want to chat? My DM's are always open and we can also schedule a call. I'm here to help!

“Growth shouldn’t be so difficult, should it?”
That question hits home for me.

I started in this industry the way so many do — as a solo host doing everything myself. For years, I figured it out the hard way: late-night messages, DIY fixes, turnover stress, and pricing guesswork.

Eventually, I found my groove — and something shifted.
I realized I wanted to help others skip the overwhelm.
That’s when I started coaching new hosts, guiding them step-by-step as they launched their own successful vacation rental businesses.

Then came co-hosting.
Then interior design — including spaces designed for inclusivity, sensory comfort, and every kind of guest.

These days, co-hosting and design take up a big part of my calendar. But lately, I’ve felt the pull to go back to where it all began:

👉 Helping others grow.

Because it always comes back to that.

So I’m creating something new — a Welcoming Wow program for co-hosts in the U.S. who are ready to grow their business (without the burnout). Whether you’re managing 2+ doors or just hitting your stride, I want your voice in the room.

Drop GROWTH in the comments or DM me to help shape this next chapter.
Let’s make growing your short-term rental business feel clear, supported, and even exciting again.

Let this be your Saturday reminder: You don’t have to be a “Superhost” overnight. You don’t need the perfect property, a million followers, or a polished business plan to begin.

You just need heart.
You just need to start.
You just need the desire to create something bigger than you can even imagine right now.
And if you’re already on the journey? Keep going—you’re doing better than you think.

💬 If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, my DMs are open. No pressure. Just support.

You know that feeling when you finally get a little space?
The bookings are flowing. The laundry’s folded. The inbox is quiet(ish).
And for a minute...
You can breathe.
You can dream.
You remember why you started this in the first place.

☀️ That’s “Beach Brain”—and it’s not lazy.
It’s when the big ideas sneak in.

So if you’re letting your mind wander this week…
👉 to that next rental
👉 to finally going full-time
👉 to launching your own co-host biz

Let it wander.
That’s where the good stuff starts.

DM me if you’re dreaming out loud and want someone to bounce ideas with. No pressure, always here. 💬

Let’s “go to the beach” this week! Who’s in?

Some people think co-hosting or short-term rentals are just a side hustle. I thought that in the beginning myself.

But we both know better.

You’ve seen what’s possible when you lean in and build it with intention.

Your Airbnb business? It's not really just an AirBnb, is it?

It might just be the vehicle to your bigger vision.

If you need someone to talk it through, I’m here. DMs always open. 💬

Feeling the summer hustle?

It’s easy to get caught up in the guest messages, laundry loads, and never-ending to-do lists.
But here’s your reminder: you’re building something amazing.
Even if it’s not perfect. Even if you’re still figuring it out.

👏 Celebrate the progress (I'm always reminding my clients of this).
🌿 Take a breath. A real breath. A deep breath.
💡 And if you need a little clarity or encouragement? My DMs are open. No pressure, no sales pitches, just here for you.

✨ How Do You “Close” Your Offices When Your Office Is… Everywhere?

Happy 4th of July, fellow hosts, co-hosts, and vacation rental warriors! 🎆

Let’s be real: our “offices” aren’t cute little downtown storefronts with an Out to Lunch sign. Nope—our offices are the sofa where we answer guest messages at midnight, the cleaning closet we cry in sometimes, and our phones that never. stop. pinging.

Today, while everyone else is chilling by the beach or lighting sparklers, I’ll probably:
🔥 Answer at least three “How do I work the thermostat” texts.
🔥 Panic-scroll Airbnb when a guest says “We have a problem…”
🔥 Check my calendar five times to make sure no one’s checking in early.
🔥 Tell myself I’m definitely going to take a break… right after the next guest message.

Because building a dream business means the hustle doesn’t take a holiday—but it also means I’m grateful for every guest, every booking, and even the occasional 2 a.m. call. ❤️🤍💙

Anyone else celebrating independence from… absolutely nothing? 😂

Drop your funniest “holiday as a host” moments below! 👇

Mondays hit different when you're a vacation rental host…

You’re not just sipping coffee—you’re resetting smart locks, handling guest messages, managing cleaners, and wondering if that last-minute booking is worth it.

Happy Father’s Day to the original force of nature—my dad, Floyd! 🛠️🙏

Retired pastor? Yep.
Former lumber business owner? Check.
Husband, dad, and the kind of guy who thinks “slowing down” is a suggestion for other people. Definitely.

He’s sarcastic, sharp, and somehow still outworks people half his age—usually while pretending he’s “just piddling.” 🙃 Whether he was creating a sermon or crafting something out of various species of lumber, Dad’s always been steady, stubborn (the good kind… mostly), and full of quiet wisdom that shows up right when you need it.

I definitely inherited some of his traits—like the drive to build something meaningful, help people feel at home, and get way too excited about a good to-do list. (Still working on the patience part, though. That gene might’ve skipped me. 😅)

Love you, Dad. Thanks for leading with grit, grace, and the occasional eye roll. You’re the real deal.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember.
Before the BBQs and beach days… before the guest messages, lock code updates, and back-to-back turnovers… we stop.

We stop to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we get to enjoy so many of the freedoms we often take for granted—including the freedom to start businesses, open our doors to travelers, and gather with family and friends.

At Welcoming Wow, we believe hospitality starts with gratitude. So today, we honor the fallen. We hold space for their families. And we remember that freedom has a price—and it’s one we should never forget.

❤️🤍💙

🌟 When You’re a Host, Holidays Hit Different 🌟

While others are heading to the lake, firing up the grill, or unplugging for a long weekend…
hosts are logging in.

Memorial Day weekend isn’t a vacation—it’s go time.
Check-ins, lock codes, cleanings, inspections, guest questions (and the occasional complaint)… it’s all happening.

But here’s your gentle reminder:
You still deserve a break.
Even if it’s just a quiet cup of coffee before turnovers, a sunset walk after check-ins, or joining the BBQ a little late.

Take a moment. Breathe.
And if you're able—participate in the meaning of this day. Honor, reflect, and reconnect with why we celebrate.

Hosting might be a business…
But it doesn’t mean you don’t get to be human.

Cheers to all the hardworking hosts out there this weekend. You’re seen. 💛

We're working in the trenches right beside you!

If you want to chat about developing processes that work for 1 property - or 20 properties, send over a DM so we can chat!

✨ Tuesday Tip: What Actually Makes a Stay Feel Luxurious? ✨

You can spend tens of thousands on designer decor…
But if guests wake up and there’s no coffee, it won’t feel like a luxury stay.

So what does luxury really feel like?

✔️ It feels effortless. No digging through cabinets for a coffee filter or texting the host for a hairdryer. Essentials are right where they should be.
✔️ It feels cared for. A fully stocked coffee station with creamer and sweeteners. Tissues on the nightstand. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower.
✔️ It feels like home—elevated. Not just towels—plush ones. Not just soap—quality soap. Not just beds—cozy, sleep-like-a-baby beds.
✔️ It feels intuitive. A well-placed luggage rack. Robes in the closet. Easy-to-use lighting. A nightlight in the hallway.

💡 Hosts: You don’t need to overspend to create a luxury experience. You need to be thoughtful, consistent, and guest-focused.

✨ This week’s tip: Before you buy another throw pillow, double-check that you’re stocked with:
– Quality coffee, filters, sweeteners & creamers
– Tissues in the bedroom and bathroom
– Full-size shower amenities
– A backup roll of TP (or two!)
– A welcome that feels warm, not generic

Luxury is a feeling, not a price tag. And the best hosts know exactly how to create it.

Need help elevating your guest experience? Let’s chat.

P.S. While you’re at it, make sure the most important item for ANY stay is covered: cleanliness!!

✔️ It feels effortless. No digging through cabinets for a coffee filter or texting the host for a hairdryer. Essentials are right where they should be.
✔️ It feels cared for. A fully stocked coffee station with creamer and sweeteners. Tissues on the nightstand. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower.
✔️ It feels like home—elevated. Not just towels—plush ones. Not just soap—quality soap. Not just beds—cozy, sleep-like-a-baby beds.
✔️ It feels intuitive. A well-placed luggage rack. Robes in the closet. Easy-to-use lighting. A nightlight in the hallway.

💡 Hosts: You don’t need to overspend to create a luxury experience. You need to be thoughtful, consistent, and guest-focused.

✨ This week’s tip: Before you buy another throw pillow, double-check that you’re stocked with:
– Quality coffee, filters, sweeteners & creamers
– Tissues in the bedroom and bathroom
– Full-size shower amenities
– A backup roll of TP (or two!)
– A welcome that feels warm, not generic

Luxury is a feeling, not a price tag. And the best hosts know exactly how to create it.

Need help elevating your guest experience? Let’s chat.

P.S. While you’re at it, make sure the most important item for ANY stay is covered: cleanliness!!

🚨 NEW on the Blog! 🚨
If you're investing in an Airbnb or vacation rentals, there's one critical element you might be missing—and it could be costing you 5-star reviews, higher income, and repeat guests. 😬

Happy Saturday All!

Today's Saturday Spotlight is on a cottage in Western North Carolina that is near and dear to my heart. I have had the pleasure of co-hosting this one from the get-go and have been able to assist with design and decor through a couple phases of upgrades as well!

The Sage & Fern Lakeview Cottage overlooks Lake Santeetlah and has all the charm and amenities you could need for a getaway to the mountains. Located just minutes from either the Tail of the Dragon or the Cherahola Skyway, if you are a motorcyclist or sports car enthusiast - you will want to check those out AND book your stay! Be sure to head on over to @sage.fern.lakeview and give them a like.

Thursday Thoughts 💭

"Success doesn’t come when you’re ready. It comes when you grow into the version of yourself who can handle it.”

When I first started Welcoming Wow, my goal was simple: coach others to launch their first vacation rental with confidence and clarity.

But something unexpected happened...
As I kept growing, so did my clients. And now? I'm not just coaching new hosts—I’m also coaching co-hosts who are scaling their own vacation rental businesses.

💡 Why? Because in the past year, I’ve gone from co-hosting 4 properties to nearly 20—and I’ve learned firsthand what it really takes to grow without losing your mind or your free time!

If you're looking to build your own co-hosting business and wondering what it might look like to have someone in your corner for strategy, support, and real talk...
👇
Comment “COHOST” and I’ll reach out to set up a quick (free) chat.

Let’s grow—with intention.

* A handwritten quote on a chalkboard

* A pop of color in a neutral space

* A quirky local book on the nightstand

These simple touches don’t cost much—but they elevate the experience and show you care.

💫 It’s not about being fancy.
It’s about being thoughtful. And that’s what Welcoming Wow is all about.

✨ Strategy Sunday ✨
Pause for a moment and picture this:
You wake up on a quiet morning, coffee in hand, and you’re checking guest messages—not because you have to, but because this business you built is finally working for you.

What would that business look like?
Would it be a single, soulful property that tells a story—or a growing portfolio aligned with your values? Would you design it for families, solo travelers, or guests with specific needs? Would it be near the water… or tucked in the trees?

Most of us jump into hosting thinking about the what—but the magic happens when we get clear on the why and the who it's for.

So today, take a breath. Dream big.

And if you're feeling brave, share your vision in the comments. You never know who you'll inspire. 💫

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers. I'm not the biggest fan of roses like many, but instead I prefer tulips, daffodils, lilies and other springtime flowers!

May can be so cheery with all the spring flowers in bloom depending on where you are in the world! Take a little time this month to stop and smell the flowers - whatever your preference is!

Happy May!

From 2 to 20—The Power of Open Hands

How did I go from co-hosting 2 listings to 20?

I stopped gripping so tightly to the idea of perfect timing or perfect opportunities.
Instead, I opened my hands—and said YES.

Yes to the things that scared me.
Yes to the opportunities I didn’t feel quite “ready” for.
Yes to the chance to grow.

When you live and build with open hands, you make room for abundance.
When you let go of fear, you make space for growth.

👉 If you’re holding back because you're afraid to leap…
👉 If you’re waiting to feel 100% confident before saying yes…
Let’s chat.

Whether you want more co-hosting opportunities or you’re just dreaming of getting started—
I’ve been there. And I’d love to help.

#ThrowbackThursday

Throwback Thursdays always make me reflect on the beginning of Welcoming Wow (back in early 2021) and how so much has changed since then.

When I first launched, it was just me, a handful of inspirational quotes, and a big dream of helping vacation rental owners create guest experiences that truly wow. 💭

Was that the best strategy? Maybe not.
But it was a start—and every expert starts somewhere. 💡

Today, Welcoming Wow is helping hosts across the country improve their listings, boost bookings, and design spaces that feel inclusive, intentional, and unforgettable.

The core of who we are and what we want to accomplish hasn’t changed—we’re still here to help you Welcome Your Guests with a WOW. 💖

But how we’re doing it? That’s constantly evolving—because so is this industry.

If you’re in the “just starting out” phase, I see you. You’re exactly where you need to be. Keep going—you never know how far your passion can take you.

📣 Fun Fact Friday: Direct Bookings Are on the Rise!

Did you know that 34% of all vacation rental bookings in 2024 were made directly with the host — and in Florida alone, direct bookings jumped a whopping 343% last year?! 😲🌴

At Welcoming Wow, we’ve seen this firsthand:
One of the properties we manage in Florida has already had 63 nights booked direct — and we’re only a quarter into the year! 💥

Tools like @hospitable_com and @stayfi_software make managing direct bookings easier than ever, and with the right strategy in place, you can take control of your calendar (and your income 💰).

Whether the #airbnbboycott is real or guests are just getting more savvy about where to book — it’s clear:
🚨 It’s time to get on board with direct booking! 🚨

📣 Fun Fact Friday: Direct Bookings Are on the Rise!

Did you know that 34% of all vacation rental bookings in 2024 were made directly with the host — and in Florida alone, direct bookings jumped a whopping 343% last year?! 😲🌴

At Welcoming Wow, we’ve seen this firsthand:
One of the properties we manage in Florida has already had 63 nights booked direct — and we’re only a quarter into the year! 💥

Tools like @hospitable_com and @stayfi_software make managing direct bookings easier than ever, and with the right strategy in place, you can take control of your calendar (and your income 💰).

Whether the #airbnbboycott is real or guests are just getting more savvy about where to book — it’s clear:
🚨 It’s time to get on board with direct booking! 🚨

✨ The Power of Consistency ✨

If there's one word that keeps showing up lately—in my own business and in nearly every 1:1 coaching session—it’s CONSISTENCY.

It’s not glamorous. It’s not trendy. But wow, is it powerful.

This year, I’ve seen firsthand how showing up with consistency—on socials, in guest messaging, in systems—can completely change the game. My own business has grown more in the past few months than it did in the past few years... and it all comes back to this one habit.

If you’re a vacation rental owner who's ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally build momentum that sticks, I’d love to help you get there.

💥 I’ve got a special 1:1 coaching offer running right now (for a limited time!)—drop a “CONSISTENCY” in the comments or slide into my DMs and I’ll send you the details!

Let’s build a business you don’t have to burn out to grow. 💛
