COVID-19 has changed all of our lives in ways we couldn’t even imagine as little as 2 months ago.
There’s so much fear and uncertainty. We’re there with you.
The vacation rental industry has been impacted particularly hard by the virus. As soon as borders started
closing and stay-at-home orders were issued, our guests were forced to cancel their reservations.
While of course, this has hit us hard in many ways, the most important message we want to convey is
that we’re still here and we’re not going anywhere. Our office doors may be closed, but our phone and
internet lines are open. Our business is open.
Truth be told, we miss you. Remember, as vacation rental managers and owners, we CHOSE the
hospitality industry! We miss recommending our favorites restaurants and coffee shops. We miss
hearing your vacation stories and telling you a few of our own. We miss your kids and dogs.
But right now, we’re all safer where we are. At home with our loved ones. Trying new recipes.
Recording TikTok videos. Staying connected on Facebook and FaceTime. Homeschooling and
telecommuting. Binge-watching Netflix. Washing our hands. Maybe (probably) going a little stir-crazy.
We know you’ll join us in giving thanks for all our selfless first-responders, from the doctors and nurses
in the ER to the grocery delivery drivers who keep us stocked. We owe each and every one a debt
of gratitude for their part in keeping the rest of us healthy.
Again, please know that we are hunkered down and riding it out. Most importantly, we’re HERE.
We’re not giving up on our industry and more importantly, we’re not giving up on our guests, our owners,
and our friends. We will get through this. We’re made of sturdy stuff here on the Oregon Coast and when
it’s safe to travel again, we’ll be here to greet you.
In the meantime, please know this: This, too, shall pass. The borders will open back up. The day
will come when you can travel again. We will all see each other again.
That’s the day that keeps us going.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. We’ll see you SOON.
