” For many years I was a software sales professional and “road warrior.” You know the type (maybe you ARE the type). Bags packed all the time. Room service a given. Living out of a suitcase as I traveled from client to client to install the latest IT solution or handle the latest tech crisis. The pressure was on. All.The.Time. Over the last 20 years, I logged more than 1,000 stays in hotels all over the country. Along the way, I learned a LOT about what makes for a great “on the road” experience — from booking and check-in, to hospitality and customer service. ”
I also found that once I got home, I wanted nothing more than to head for the beach where I could finally decompress and relax. There’s just something about ocean waves and the surf crashing onto a sandy beach tinted by a setting sun. It calms the mind. I began to think about creating a “home away” experience for people who could enjoy all the perks of being away while staying in a homey setting close to a beach.
