This week, we are highlighting Jonathan Pacilio, founder of Blue Pineapple Rental Group. What began as a smart real estate investment strategy grew into a full-fledged vacation rental business that allowed Jonathan and his wife to step away from their corporate careers.
This week, we’re featuring Justine Emerick, founder of Vacation In Rocky Point and an OwnerRez user since 2020. What started as “casually managing” quickly grew into a thriving business, and today Justine manages 13 homes and counting in Rocky Point with OwnerRez as the backbone of her operations.
This week, we’re highlighting Alece, founder of Come Visit Nashville and Rest Easy Nashville. After years of leading a nonprofit organization in South Africa, Alece brought her passion for meaningful guest experiences to Nashville and began renting rooms in her home. Today, she runs a boutique management firm built on strong systems and purpose-driven hospitality.
Meet Jaci Christian, founder and owner of The Bear Cabins. After buying her first cabin in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, in 2020, Jaci began self-managing remotely and building systems as if she were already running a larger operation. That approach naturally led to consulting and, eventually, to a full-service management company.
This week, we’re highlighting Daniel and Dave, the brothers behind Fun Coast Rentals. After purchasing their first short-term rental in New Smyrna Beach, they immersed themselves in the vacation rental industry and learned the business firsthand. In just five years, they’ve grown to manage 23 rentals through a hands-on, owner-focused approach, with OwnerRez supporting their day-to-day operations.
