Host and Keep Feature on Voyage MIA Magazine

04/06/2022
Host and Keep (and our own Caroline Ramos) was featured in Voyage MIA Magazine.

I am Marketing Executive that left Corporate America during Covid after 15 years in leadership roles. I finally gave myself the opportunity to follow my passion for Travel, Real Estate and Design. I Founded Host and Keep after a lot of self-reflecting, identity searching and a drive for working in a state of flow, rather than friction. I love to travel the world, always staying in funky and unique Airbnb’s when I do. I truly believe in achieving wealth through real estate investments and at the same time, I love sharing this beautiful city with my own guests so I completely recognize the importance of details in hospitality.

My company Host and Keep marries all of this into one company. We specialize in Vacation Rental Investments and Management. We handle all the details from start to finish for our clients and investors; from finding the property, renovating, designing, booking, guest communications, property inspections, turnover and cleaning – all the way to concierge services so our guests have nothing short of a five star worthy stay. The returns are so much better on these kinds of investments, but there is a lot of work that goes into it. The right partner and team is everything.

Host and Keep is a Vacation Rental Investment and Management Firm. We offer turnkey services so our clients can be hands-off but still enjoy the benefits of owning a short-term rental investment.

Our services include:

Listing Management: Carefully crafted listing that makes your property stand out and shine. We’ll setup your listing and manage it to make sure you have all the relevant information visible and optimized.

Photography: A picture is worth a thousand words. That’s why we’ll send over one of our professional real estate photographers to capture your home from its best angle. We work with the best real estate photographers to style and show your property.

Nightly Rate Optimization: Our team dives deep into the data to ensure your occupancy and profit rates are fully optimized. Boost prices on weekends and holidays with our management
