Behind the Scenes at Roxy Rentals: Why Buying and Selling Homes Keeps Us Growing
At Roxy Rentals, guests often ask: “Didn’t you have another house last year?” or “Why do some properties come and go?” The truth is, what happens behind the scenes of a short-term rental business is just as dynamic as the stays we host. Buying and selling homes isn’t just about real estate — it’s about evolving, staying nimble, and creating the best experiences possible for both our guests and our community.
When we buy a new property, it’s never just about four walls and a roof. Each home is chosen for its potential to be a backdrop for memories. We carefully consider location, layout, and style, asking ourselves whether it could be the next place where families reconnect, friends celebrate, or guests find a little escape. But we also think about the practical side — the people who may need temporary housing when life takes an unexpected turn. From families between homes to neighbors navigating renovations or even those displaced after a storm, each Roxy Rentals property has the potential to provide comfort, stability, and connection when it’s needed most.
Selling, on the other hand, can feel more emotional. Every home in our portfolio has its own personality and story, and we grow attached. But just like families outgrow homes or shift neighborhoods, businesses evolve too. Markets change, guest needs shift, and sometimes a property is simply better suited to a new chapter. Selling allows us to reinvest in homes that align more closely with what our guests want today — and what our community needs tomorrow. In this way, letting go is not about loss, but about growth.
One door closes, another opens. The Boho Bungalow was our first, and while we’ve said goodbye, its legacy fuels the next chapter of Roxy Rentals
Recently, we sold one of our properties, and while we know change sparks questions, we want to assure you that Roxy Rentals remains strong and committed. Each adjustment in our portfolio is intentional, allowing us to focus on homes that bring the most value, comfort, and flexibility to the people who stay with us. Whether it’s grandparents flying in for graduations, families celebrating milestones, or locals who need a safe landing spot during renovations, our homes are designed to meet real needs, not just create picture-perfect moments.
At the end of the day, running Roxy Rentals means balancing passion with practicality. Every decision we make — whether it’s buying, selling, or holding onto a property — is made with care, with our guests in mind, and with our long-term vision at heart. Change is part of that journey, and it allows us to stay nimble, focused, and ready for whatever comes next. Because while one door may close, another always opens — and behind it is not only an incredible guest experience, but also a trusted space for anyone who needs a home away from home.
