I'M SIMONE

Airbnb creator, owner and host, land hacking lover, and financial freedom activist.

Right now, I'm sitting at my dining table, gazing at the Pacific Ocean with a refreshing lemonade nearby, while my child naps and my husband hits the gym. It's 2:55 PM on a Tuesday.

But why does this matter?

Let's rewind.

It all started when...

It all started when we packed our bags and moved into a converted sauna so we could rent out our home. That first step, almost a decade ago, completely changed the direction of our lives.

That Summer, while we lay in the makeshift bed of our *cough* tiny home, we realized that in two months, we were making what we had anticipated to make in a full year of renting our cabin. 

My initial steps as an Airbnb host were hesitant and uncertain. It took months to find my footing and to feel sure that it was worth it. But, somehow, that way was found. There were plenty of extra hours, triple shifts, algorithms, marketing and pricing strategies until that rental business became real and successful - with a logo and all.​

The tiny home "aka" sauna

I won't tell you it happened overnight—far from it. Although I do blame our rough beginnings, those first years of trial and error have taught me many lessons.

I learned how to work around the overwhelm of the ever-changing market, the incredible rise in competition, the ways to not only survive but also thrive in the unthinkable, such as a pandemic, the methods to mold our business so we could finally achieve the lifestyle we wanted and make our property work for us, and not the other way around.

Finally, on year 7, we rented our home and moved to Hawaii where I packed all of those years of experience, knowledge, and research and sat at my dining table to write you this. *lemonade sip*

and almost 10 years later...

I’ve been in the Short Term Rental industry since 2016. I've co-created and built three one-of-a-kind vacation rentals from the ground up, transforming them into a thriving, full-time hosting business that I now manage remotely from Maui.

 

With more than 9 years and near 1000 five-star reviews on Airbnb, my properties have been featured on the Magnolia Network, HBO, and were named the top Airbnb in the state by Conde Nast Traveler. My passion is helping other hosts create a business they and their guests love, while crafting the lifestyle they’ve always dreamed of.

Through 10 years of hands-on experience, research, and study, I now share everything I’ve learned about building cabins, scaling profitable short-term rental businesses, and fostering long-lasting guest relationships.
