Joining us is Alexandra Greenawalt, real estate agent, best-selling author, former fashion stylist, and owner of the short-term rental business Sea + Salt Sanctuary.
Alexandra began her journey into the short-term rental space when she started taking notes of the good and bad of the places she stayed in as a traveler. It all came to a head when she moved to Florida to be closer to her grandfather and bought a house in the state to rent out.
Through this endeavor, she has found a passion for managing her short-term rental properties and dedicates herself to tailoring the experience for each of her guests, and she even built her own direct booking site. Tune in to learn more about her journey!
