World Ocean Day

Coastal abodes. Summertime. Sunscreen.

Taking a moment to talk ocean conservation and awareness on World Ocean Day—June 8th.

While sunscreen helps protect our skin, some common ingredients have been linked to harming ocean ecosystems, coral reefs, and other marine environments. This, of course, includes our precious California coast.

Help protect the marine life and coastal ecosystems that make our Pacific Ocean (and all oceans) so special.

Discover which sunscreen ingredients are most safe. 

Protect Our Oceans. Protect Our Coasts. Protect Our Planet.

We want to see you and your family visiting, soaking up the sun, and surfing your heart out for generations to come.

Make these Headaches Go Away with Soleil

#1: Time and Mental Load

Managing a short-term rental, or even a mid-term rental, is a second job most hosts weren’t expecting. Guest messaging throughout evenings, coordinating cleaners, chasing maintenance, monitoring pricing daily. It all adds up. Time is our most precious commodity.

#2: Underperforming Revenue

Your calendar has gaps it shouldn't have, especially in a market where new permits are frozen and summer demand is real. Not to mention that autumn is our second summer and winters are equally gorgeous. Equally worth noting: AI automation has its place, but it will never replace high-touch client care

#3: Review Anxiety

Airbnb removed the requirement for guests to have prior reviews before booking in 2025, meaning hosts are now also fielding first-timers who don't understand STR norms. One bad review can tank search ranking. Managing the guest experience before problems arise is an art and a science. Knowing how to publicly respond, massage, and “correct” a poor review can make a world of difference in future guests’ interpretation of a less than satisfactory review.
