The second VRD Summit is one for the books!

Thank you to all the sponsors, speakers, panelists, and mentors who who helped us set a new benchmark for excellence in the short-term vacation rental industry.

The 2024 VRD Summit was more than just a conference—it was a movement that redefined the standard.

This year’s takeaway?

Ordinary isn’t profitable.

When we look around at this Market's incredible lineup of panels, it gives our team great joy in seeing so many VRD Summit alum engaging in a big way, getting out there and speaking about your bad-ass entrepreneurial selves and your business - the journey, your processes and procedures, your offerings, branding, and just un-plain YOU. Yay!

Indelible bed fellows, Jessica Duce and Scottie Co

Indelible bed fellows, Jessica Duce and Scottie Collins, talking it up at April's Summit in our American Leather sleeper layered with lovely linens. Well, here's the scoop on Saturday Linens (aka HiEnd Accents) at Fall Market 2024...They've expanded their showroom in Showplace #2500 so they can better serve their clients and display more of their product. Also at Market, they are hosting a seminar called "Beyond the Headboard: Leveraging top-of-bed for bottom-line growth" on Saturday the 26th from 4 to 5pm. Showroom opens on October 24.

Enjoy the carousel with a few of their goodies, including: Stella Faux Silk Velvet in fern and garnet (a color you will spy in all its derivatives from wine to plum around Market), stonewashed cotton waffleweave, and the chenille herringbone bedding set.

OK, enough! With our hearts already weighing heavy

OK, enough! With our hearts already weighing heavy for the people and whole towns affected by Helene, we are now concerned for our friends in Florida - people lke @hearthandhoneyhomes and @foundhome_co (pictured) who are part of the Summit family as well as other design folks we admire. Also, all of this destruction begs the question: With respect to these climate extremes, are there new safety considerations and precautions we will begin to look at as towns are rebuilt and how will that affect the design of vacation rentals? Stay safe friends. We are keeping tabs on you. 🙏👊

Our hearts are heavy. We cannot process what you are going through. For so many of the towns affected, Autumn is traditionally your time to thrive, but your livelihood and dreams that took years to realize have been washed away and severely damaged in a matter of hours.

To help/donate:
Red Cross: people can text the word HELENE to 90999 or visit the website. Also, visit our Linktree for a list of relief efforts published by Discover the Carolinas.

This is just a small portion of ways to help. ❤
