Morning coffee conversations.

A client asked me what my word of the year is for 2026 - and it stopped me in my tracks because I didn’t have an answer for her. The word you choose helps to shape the decisions you make, the boundaries you set and the way you grow.

I’m choosing the word ALIGNMENT this year.

What is your word?

Creating safe, inclusive, and welcoming spaces is not complicated — but it is intentional. At Welcoming Wow, we are looking for vacation rental owners who want to make their properties more “special-needs” friendly and accessible for guests with autism, dementia, sensory sensitivities, or cognitive differences.

With thoughtful adjustments, simplified home layouts, and a deeper understanding of how guests experience a space, small changes can make a life-changing impact for families who often struggle to travel.

If you believe in hospitality that meets people where they are — and you want your property to stand out by serving a growing and underserved community — we would love to guide you.

Wishing you a magical day filled with laughter, love, and cozy moments. May your whole day sparkle with peace, warmth, and the spirit of Christmas!

Even if it's not straight out of a Hallmark movie - I hope your day is filled with that feeling and the warmth that family and friends provide! If you're out picking up all those last minute things today, just remember its not about the "stuff" anyway - it's about enjoying those moments with those you love!

Today I'm in Wisconsin Dells celebrating Christmas Eve (and my mommy's 80th birthday!)!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

This season brings full calendars, full homes, and sometimes very full stress buckets.
Give yourself grace. Give your guests grace.
And remember: hospitality begins with how you treat yourself.

Welcoming Wow is here for the behind-the-scenes moments too. If the pace feels overwhelming, reach out. Community matters!

2025 has been a year of incredible growth for Welcoming Wow.
Our family expanded to 25+ listings, and with that growth came a deeper understanding of what today’s travelers truly need—especially families with children on the autism spectrum.

As we move into 2026, we’re continuing this momentum by partnering with hosts who want to do more than fill their calendars.

We want to partner with hosts who want to create safe, supportive, and standout properties.

Here’s the good news:
Designing an autism-friendly vacation rental is not difficult or costly.
Small, thoughtful adjustments—calming colors, predictable layouts, reduced visual clutter, lighting considerations—can transform a space in ways that support regulation and reduce overwhelm.

And the need is growing:
• 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism
• Millions of families are actively seeking more predictable, sensory-considerate places to stay
• The short-term rental market has very few truly autism-friendly options

This is where purpose meets opportunity.
By co-hosting with Welcoming Wow—or enhancing your current design with our guidance—you not only give families a place to land safely…
You also set your property apart in a market where differentiation matters.

If you’re ready to join a movement that is equal parts heart and strategy, send a DM.
Let’s explore whether partnering with Welcoming Wow in 2026 is the right next step for your property.

December hosting can feel a little like Santa skiing downhill—fast, unpredictable, and requiring way more balance than anyone realizes. 🎅

Between guest messages, turnovers, supply runs, family schedules, and the holiday rush… it’s a lot. And yet—here you are. Still standing. Still showing up. Still creating magical stays for guests who will remember this season forever.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re juggling more than you can carry… you are not alone.
Take a breath. Find your footing. And keep moving with purpose—just like Santa on those skis.

You’ve got this. Truly.
And if you’re stuck, stressed, or just need a little moral support today… send me a DM. I’m here, and I get it. ❤️

Here’s to smoother runs ahead, hosts.

✨ Happy Small Business Saturday from Welcoming Wow! ✨

Today I’m celebrating something I don’t always pause long enough to appreciate…
the incredible collection of homes I’m honored to own or co-host across Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

Each one has a story.
Each one has a family behind it.
And each one represents trust — trust placed in me and in this business that was built from scratch, from passion, and from purpose.

This year, someone said to me:
“What you’re doing is important work.”
It stopped me in my tracks.
Because this work is important — helping families feel safe, helping hosts grow, creating better guest experiences, and building inclusive spaces that welcome everyone as they are.

When you choose any of the homes in this carousel…
you’re not supporting a corporation —
you’re supporting a woman-owned small business with a big heart and a big mission.

Today, I’m showcasing a few of the properties I currently own or co-host — the spaces where Welcoming Wow has poured in love, care, design, operations, hospitality, and soul.

Thank you for every booking.
Every recommendation.
Every referral.
Every bit of encouragement.

Your support helps this little business grow — and helps me keep doing the work I feel called to do. 💗

Stay tuned… big things are coming!

✨ “Important work.” ✨

Someone said that to me the other day, completely unprompted.
A neighbor.

Just casual conversation.

But when they said it — “What you’re doing is important work” — I felt everything inside me come to a sudden, still pause.

Because most days, I don’t think of my work that way.

I think of the to-do lists.
The design projects.
The coaching calls.
The late-night problem-solving.
The constant brainpower it takes to run a business.
The exhausting parts.
The beautiful parts.
The behind-the-scenes that no one sees.

But “important”?
I hadn’t labeled it that.

Yet… the more I’ve sat with those words, the more I realize:

They’re right.

Helping hosts grow.
Helping families feel safe.
Creating spaces that welcome people exactly as they are.
Championing accessibility and inclusion in an industry that often overlooks it.
Supporting new hosts and co-hosts who are trying to build something of their own.
Standing with people who want to create better experiences for their guests.

That is important.

And I don’t say that with ego — I say it with gratitude.
Because this work matters to so many people.
It matters to families who need a safe place to travel.
It matters to hosts trying to create a better life.
It matters to the industry I care about so deeply.

So here’s to doing “important work” — even on the days when it feels ordinary, messy, or uncertain.

And here’s to all of you who are doing important work too, whether anyone has spoken those words over you yet or not.

🧡 Keep going.
🧡 Keep serving.
🧡 Keep creating spaces where people feel seen and welcomed.

You’re doing more good than you realize.

Today my heart is extra full — not just because of the holiday, but because of the incredible community that has grown around Welcoming Wow this past year. Whether you’re a host, a soon-to-be host, a co-hosting client, a design lover, a cheerleader from afar, or someone who simply believes in creating spaces that feel safe, seen, and welcoming… thank you.

This year has stretched me, grown me, challenged me, and reminded me (over and over again) why this work matters. Every story shared, every property transformation, every “aha!” moment on a coaching call, every new client who trusted me with their home, every family who made memories in one of our spaces — it all fuels the mission behind Welcoming Wow.

I’m thankful for:
🧡 The hosts who pour their hearts into making guests feel at home.
💛 The co-hosting partners who trust me with their businesses and their dreams.
💚 The families who choose our spaces for their getaways and special moments.
💙 The growing movement toward inclusive, accessible, spectrum-friendly travel.
💗 And YOU — this community that continues to show up, learn, grow, and take bold steps toward something bigger.

As I look toward the year ahead, I’m filled with hope and excitement. Big things are coming — new properties, new programs, new partnerships, new opportunities to help hosts grow, and new ways to expand inclusivity across the vacation-rental world. The seeds planted this year are starting to sprout, and I can’t wait to share what’s unfolding.

From my family to yours… Happy Thanksgiving.
May your day be filled with warmth, rest, connection, and reminders of just how far you’ve come.

And thank you, truly, for being part of this journey. The best days of Welcoming Wow — and of this community — are still ahead.

Ask Me.

Ask me why I coach new vacation rental owners.
Ask me why I manage vacation rentals for others.
Ask me why I design spaces that feel safe, inclusive, and comfortable for families with children on the autism spectrum.

Because behind everything I do with Welcoming Wow is one simple belief:
Every host deserves confidence.
Every guest deserves comfort.
And every home has the potential to wow.

When I started my own journey, I didn’t have someone to ask. I learned through trial, error, late nights, and a lot of heart. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help others skip the overwhelm and create spaces that actually feel good — for owners and for guests.

So go ahead… Ask Me.
Ask about coaching.
Ask about co-hosting.
Ask about inclusive design.

Because when you ask, you grow (heck, we BOTH grow) — and I’m here to help you every step of the way. 💗

👇 Drop your question in the comments or DM me — I’ll be here. 😉

🌿 Wednesday Wisdom for Vacation Rental Owners 🌿

Feeling a bit lost with your listing? Wondering why bookings have slowed or guests are scrolling past? You’re not alone. Every successful host has been right where you are at some point — second-guessing photos, pricing, or that one line in the description that just doesn’t “click.”

Here’s the truth: even the best hosts need a second set of eyes sometimes. Fresh feedback can be the difference between “good” and fully booked!

💬 This week, we’re offering to help - no charge and no catch! Drop your Airbnb or VRBO listing link in a DM, and we’ll take a quick look and share 3 specific adjustments you can make right away to boost visibility, bookings, and guest appeal — guaranteed to help!

Because great hosting isn’t about doing it alone — it’s about learning, growing, and leaning on community.

Sometimes, the smallest changes in a home make the biggest difference in someone’s comfort, peace, and sense of belonging. 💙

When I began designing homes and vacation rentals with neurodiverse guests in mind, I realized how simple it can be to create an environment that feels safe and soothing — yet how rarely we stop to think about it.

Here are just a few easy and inexpensive ways you can make your home more autism-friendly:
1️⃣ Offer sensory-friendly items like fidgets, stress balls, noise-canceling headphones, or a bean bag chair.
2️⃣ Modify lighting by installing a dimmer switch.
3️⃣ Avoid using strong scents or harsh cleaning products.
4️⃣ Install a security lock on the front door for safety and peace of mind (high and separate from keypad lock).
5️⃣ Keep colors calm and neutral to reduce sensory overload - no red walls here!
6️⃣ Anchor furniture in place to prevent tipping.
7️⃣ Add a weighted blanket for comfort and regulation.
8️⃣ Provide puzzles and coloring books for quiet engagement.

Each of these changes might seem small — but for families with children on the autism spectrum, they can transform a stressful trip into a truly welcoming experience.

💬 Want me (Suzanne) to take a look at your listing and give you personalized recommendations — for FREE?

👉 TODAY only: comment MAKE A DIFFERENCE and we’ll set up a time to chat!

Let’s make every stay a little more inclusive, one thoughtful detail at a time.

Sometimes, growth means letting go.

Letting go of the “shoulds.”
Letting go of what worked last season but doesn’t serve this one.
Letting go of doing it all yourself.

In hosting — and in life — we can’t create extraordinary guest experiences (or build a business we love) if we’re too busy holding onto average.

This week’s reminder?
✨ You don’t have to do it all alone.
✨ You do have to be intentional about what you keep and what you release.

That’s how you move from “fine” to WOW.

Hosting was supposed to be fun. ✨
But somewhere between late-night guest questions, chasing cleaners, and trying to keep up with Instagram… it got exhausting.

I get it—most hosts start because they love creating a welcoming space. But when the to-do list never ends, that joy disappears fast.

Here’s a fun fact: my family has called me a “planner” and an “organizer” since I was little. 💕 I’ve always loved creating order out of chaos, and now I get to use those same skills to help vacation rental hosts breathe easier.

That’s exactly why I created Welcoming Wow—to give hosts their time (and sanity) back without sacrificing bookings or guest experience.

💡 From co-hosting your property to designing scroll-stopping spaces, we step in where you need us most—so you can focus on what you actually enjoy.

👉 Swipe through this carousel to see 5 ways we help tired hosts rest easy.
Then ask yourself: which one would make the biggest difference in your life right now?

✨ DM me “WOW” and let’s talk about how we can make hosting feel exciting again.

Perfection isn’t what creates connection — authenticity does. In hosting, design, and even business, it’s the real touches you bring that make guests feel welcome and create memories worth coming back for.

Stop chasing “perfect.” Stop creating "cookie-cutter" vacation rentals. Stop waiting until you are "ready".

Start leaning into what makes your space (and YOU) meaningful.

Then....be sure to share it with the world. ❤

Yesterday I needed to fuel my “girl brain” for just a few minutes - so into @hobbylobby I went! lol.

One of their quotes in the wall decor spoke to me and I just had to bring it back for my office!

“Find what sets your soul on fire”. Check! Check! And Check!

Messages, comments and reviews like these are what sets my souls on fire and helping other hosts achieve the same makes me feel sooo good!

You don’t have to spend a fortune. You don’t need to hire renowned designers. You don’t need 10 years of experience. You don’t need all the software out there.

What do you need? Heart. Cleanliness. Something that makes your property stand out. Quick responses. That perfect feeling for guests when they enter your property. Quality products. Thoughtful touches and amenities.

Want my 👀 on your property?

Send a DM and let’s chat!

Consistency saves bookings. Warmth wins repeat guests.

This feedback from a guest this week was a powerful reminder: when hosts fail to deliver, it hurts not just their property, but the reputation of vacation rentals as a whole.

Let that sink in for a minute.

I am.

None of us are perfect, and many of us can do better (including me).

The good news? When we get it right - with consistency, professionalism, and a warm welcome - we don’t just win bookings.

We win trust.

Ready to deliver WOW in your vacation rentals? I can help with coaching, co-hosting and design. DM me WOW to start the conversation.

✨ Wednesday Wisdom ✨

“The opposite of WOW isn’t bad… it’s forgettable.”

A few years ago, I walked into a vacation rental that looked fine on paper. It was clean, the furniture was functional, and everything “worked.” But you know what? I don’t remember a single detail about that stay. It was forgettable.

Compare that to a beautiful pool home in Scottsdale where the host left cozy blankets, a basket of local snacks, and all the right touches. That space stuck with me — not because it was perfect, but because it felt like it had a story.

That’s the power of WOW. It’s not about being flashy. It’s about creating a place that makes guests feel something. Because when they do, they remember… and when they remember, they come back (and they tell others).

💬 What’s one detail that’s made you remember a stay? Share below — I’d love to hear your story.

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.

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. 💬
