A California Kind of Care

There’s something special about Southern California mornings — that soft golden light filtering through the palms, the scent of ocean air or citrus groves, and the easy rhythm that invites you to slow down and savor the moment. At Stay Hello Sunshine, that same warmth and care shape how we manage every home in our collection — and how we help homeowners turn beautiful properties into thriving, guest-loved vacation rentals.

If you’ve ever dreamed of sharing your home with travelers while knowing it’s cared for like your own, partnering with Stay Hello Sunshine might just be your perfect match.

The Stay Hello Sunshine Difference

Rooted in Design and Heart

Stay Hello Sunshine isn’t your typical vacation rental management company. We’re a boutique team based right here in Southern California — with deep roots in design, hospitality, and community.

Each home in our collection is hand-selected and thoughtfully styled, reflecting the natural beauty and laid-back elegance of its surroundings — whether it’s a modern coastal bungalow in Orange County, a serene retreat tucked in Santa Ynez Valley wine country, or a sunlit cottage near the rolling hills of Paso Robles.

Our philosophy is simple: every home should tell a story — and every guest should feel like they’ve found a hidden gem.

Locals Who Know What Guests Love

Because we live where we host, we know what travelers seek out when they come to Southern California. From the best taco stand in Dana Point to the quietest vineyard patio in Los Olivos, our local knowledge helps us curate unforgettable stays that feel both elevated and effortless.

That local connection also translates to smarter management — knowing when to update décor for the season, which amenities stand out in our market, and how to price your home to attract year-round bookings.

What We Offer Homeowners

Full-Service Management, Minus the Stress

When you partner with Stay Hello Sunshine, we handle every detail — from professional photography and marketing to guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance.

Our team ensures your home stays guest-ready and beautifully maintained, while our tech-powered systems keep bookings seamless and transparent. You’ll always know how your property is performing — and you’ll have peace of mind knowing it’s in caring, capable hands.

Design That Tells a Story

We believe design is more than décor — it’s an experience. Our in-house styling and design services help transform each space into a destination, blending timeless California charm with fresh, modern touches.

Think soft linen bedding, handwoven throws, and art that reflects the spirit of the coast or countryside. When guests step inside, they feel an instant sense of calm and connection — the kind that inspires five-star reviews and repeat stays.

Hospitality That Feels Human

Guests can feel when a home is loved — and that’s what sets Stay Hello Sunshine apart. Our guest experience team goes beyond checklists to create moments that matter: a personalized welcome note, curated local guidebooks, and thoughtful touches that make guests feel truly cared for.

We manage every stay with warmth and professionalism, ensuring your guests leave glowing — and your home stays in pristine condition.

Local Expertise You Can Trust

Orange County: Coastal Cool Meets Family Comfort

From San Clemente’s surf breaks to Laguna’s art walks, Orange County offers a perfect blend of beach town charm and easy luxury. We help homeowners showcase what makes their neighborhood special — whether that’s ocean views, walkable villages, or proximity to SoCal’s best family attractions.

Our local teams know the rhythms of the region — when the summer crowds roll in, how to highlight your home for snowbird travelers, and how to create year-round appeal.

Santa Ynez Valley: Wine Country Magic

Over the hills from Santa Barbara, the Santa Ynez Valley is where vineyard views meet small-town warmth. Homes here have a special kind of soul — quiet, scenic, and bathed in golden light.

We help owners capture that essence — from styling cozy farmhouse patios to connecting with wine-loving travelers seeking a restful retreat after a day of tastings.

Why Boutique Management Makes a Big Difference

Working with a local, design-driven team means you’re never just a number on a spreadsheet. We take the time to understand your home’s personality, your goals as an owner, and the kind of guests you want to attract.

Because we intentionally keep our portfolio small, we’re able to give every property the hands-on attention it deserves. It’s personalized care — with professional expertise — and that balance is what helps our homes shine (and perform).

Real Connections, Real Results

Our homeowners often tell us they joined for the peace of mind — but stayed because of the partnership. With Stay Hello Sunshine, you’re part of a community that values authenticity, design, and genuine hospitality.

We celebrate the joy of welcoming travelers from around the world — and the satisfaction of seeing your home become a part of their California story.
