HOW I WORK
It's more about hospitality than anything else
I offer boutique, on-island co-hosting for owners who want their property run with care and intention. I focus on elevating guest experience, increasing revenue, and respecting the island by following a simple frame of mind:
Better guest experience → higher perceived value → increased nightly rates → stronger revenue
A well-cared-for property, warm and efficient communication, and thoughtful touches elevate the guest experience. Happy guests are the best advertisement for your rental — they’re more likely to return, recommend your property, and leave five-star reviews. Over time, this increases the value of your property and supports higher revenue.
GET STARTED
How I can help ...
When you work with me, your guests become "our guests".
Listing Management & Updates
I optimize and keep your listing updated with SEO, market research, and guest feedback to attract quality guests and support stronger revenue.
Booking Coordination
I manage inquiries, reservations, and calendar flow to support smooth operations and quality stays—without you being pulled into day-to-day details.
Cleaning Team
I’ll work with your cleaners or bring in my trusted ones. I align standards, manage schedules, and conduct post-clean inspections that follow very high-standard cleaning guidelines.
Marketing and Direct Booking
Your property will be marketed on Airbnb and Vrbo, as well as a custom direct booking site to support marketing and higher earning margins.
Guest Screening
I help reduce risk through booking settings, guest communication, and situational judgment based on over 10 years of experience working with guests.
Maintenance
I keep track of wear and tear, flag issues as soon as noted, and coordinate vendors so the home stays in great condition, small problems don’t become big ones and guests continued to be wow'ed.
Tailored Pricing Strategy
I manage pricing with dynamic tools and manual review to reflect the market, stay competitive and maximize revenue.
Guest Communication
I take care of all guest communication, from answering questions to offering local tips and assistance so your guests feel welcomed and taken care of.
Owner Communication
You’ll receive a monthly summary with your property's key performance highlights, financials, and any proactive or ongoing maintenance notes, as well as suggestions for upgrades.

WORKING TOGETHER
A quality before quantity type of co-hosting
This is a true partnership — not a “hand over the keys and disappear” arrangement. I work as your on-island hospitality agent, overseeing the guest experience, protecting the quality of your property, and handling day-to-day operations, while you remain an engaged owner who understands your property and stays connected to the business.
The best results come when you trust my expertise in daily hosting, and I can rely on your collaboration on the bigger picture.

NICE TO MEET YOU
Hello, I´m Simone
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 over 950 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.
On Maui, my approach is boutique and local—focused on guest experience, efficient operations, and respectful hosting.
My rentals have been seen on...
You deserve to build a profitable business with a portfolio of glowing 5-star reviews that are entirely yours, independent of any property management account.
Traditional vacation rental companies often lump properties under their corporate accounts, which I believe is an outdated practice and misses what travelers are really craving today: connection to a real place and a real home.
At She Hosts, I take a different approach. I believe that a unique stay is built on thoughtful accommodations, warm hospitality, and a sense of belonging. Your property will become part of the guests’ story — the memory they carry with them long after they leave. My goal is for every guest to experience that sense of being at home while enjoying all the perks of a high quality stay.
Once we begin working together, I step in as your hospitality partner. That means I take primary responsibility for the guest experience — from communication to issue resolution to service recovery — while you remain the homeowner and final decision-maker on big-picture choices.
You stay in control where it matters most.
I handle the rest.

Because this is a boutique, hands-on co-hosting model — not a large corporate management operation — some services commonly bundled by big management companies (such as interior design, marketing or ads, legal/tax/accounting work, construction oversight, personal errands, or tech installation and troubleshooting) are not part of my scope, though I’m always happy to connect you with trusted local professionals if you need support. While I work thoughtfully and diligently to elevate guest experience and streamline operations, there is no guarantee of specific income, occupancy, or booking results, as short-term rental performance depends on many factors outside of my control — including market conditions, seasonality, property condition, and the level of effort and decisions made by each owner. Any reviews, testimonials, or examples shared on this site reflect individual experiences and are not a promise of similar outcomes for every property; meaningful results require time, care, and commitment, not a “quick fix.”
