Beachside VR Full-time | On site - Daytona Beach, Florida
Department: Housekeeping
Schedule: Full-time | Must be available Sundays and Mondays
Reports to: General Manager
Compensation: USD $50,000 / year + up to $10,000 bonus
About the brand Beachside VR is a vacation rental management company on Florida's east coast. We take care of everything that goes into running a vacation home, from guest communication and cleaning to maintenance and pricing, so owners can enjoy the income without the day-to-day work. It is a high-turnover, high-season market where the difference between a five-star review and a one-star review is usually something small that somebody noticed in time.
The role This is the job that decides whether a guest walks into a home that feels cared for. You lead our housekeeping team in Daytona Beach: you hire, train and coach our cleaners, and you make sure every turnover between checkout and check-in is done to our standard. You inspect completed homes, send work back when it is not right, and catch the things that would otherwise become a one-star review: a stain, a burnt-out bulb, a smell, a missing towel set.
When something is broken, you are the first person who knows, and what you do in that hour usually decides whether the guest ever finds out. A home that looks clean from the door is not the same as a home that is ready. If a turnover is on your team, you own it until it is right.
Unreasonable hospitality We hold ourselves to what Will Guidara calls unreasonable hospitality: doing the thing nobody asked for, that nobody would have missed, and that they will tell someone about. A guest mentions in a message that it is their daughter's birthday, and there is something waiting on the counter when they walk in. An owner asks a question on a Sunday and gets a real answer, from a person, before Monday. We do not measure this in a survey. We measure it in whether the person on the other end felt looked after by someone who was paying attention. Everyone here is expected to notice things, and everyone here is trusted to act on what they notice without asking permission first.
Where you sit You sit in Housekeeping and work every day with your cleaning team, the guest experience team and the field operations team.
This is an on-site role in Daytona Beach, Florida. Sundays and Mondays are our busiest turnover days, and you need to be available on both. Because Stayd runs shared systems across every brand, a process you improve here tends to end up running in other markets, which is the closest thing we have to a promotion path.
