The Perfect Hostess: Frances

08/18/2026

This is why I love being a host. ❤️

A 5⭐️ review came in today, and it honestly made my day.

“Great place for a break during our roadtrip on the East coast.”

And then they added:

“This was a great experience overall. We specifically enjoyed the hotel-like management of the rental. Thank you.”

“Hotel-like management.” 🥹

That phrase means so much to me because that is exactly what I strive for.

I don't want guests to simply have a clean place to sleep. I want them to feel welcomed, cared for, comfortable, and confident that every detail has been thought through.

That is the philosophy behind The Perfect Hostess.

Being a great host isn't just about having a beautiful property. It's about creating an experience that makes your guests say:

“That was exactly what we needed.”

And sometimes, the best compliment is knowing that your hard work made someone's road trip a little better.

Thank you to my wonderful guests for taking the time to share your experience!

This is why I host. This is why I love hosting. And this is The Perfect Hostess. ❤️

Hi, I'm Frances. I'm a licensed Realtor and an Airbnb Superhost.

A lot of agents can help you buy an investment property and that's important. But not many can show you what happens after closing: how to turn that property into a successful short-term rental that actually generates income.

I've lived both sides of it. I've sat at the closing table as the Realtor, and I've also been the one changing sheets, responding to guest messages late at night, and figuring out why one month was fully booked while the next wasn't.

That combination gives me a unique perspective, and it's why friends, clients, and fellow investors kept asking me the same question: "How do I get started?"

So I took everything I've learned, the checklists I created, the lessons from my mistakes, and the systems that helped me become an Airbnb Superhost and turned it into one simple guide: The Perfect Hostess.

For $11, you'll get practical, real-world advice delivered straight to your inbox so you can avoid costly mistakes and launch your short-term rental with confidence.

If you're thinking about becoming an Airbnb host or want to improve the one you already have, click the link in my bio. I'd love to help you get started.

I pack one dedicated pool and beach bag with everything we’ll use all season long. To my favorite go-to beach bags, Yeti cooler, sunscreen, lip balm, pool towels, hand sanitizer, and all the little essentials.

It’s one of my favorite ways to stay organized, avoid clutter, and head into spring and summer fully prepared.

Just grab the bag and go enjoy the sunshine!

I completed OnWatch™ training and earned my certificate. “I am on watch” is not about surveillance or suspicion — it’s a statement of informed commitment, readiness, responsibility, and care for the people around us.

Safe House Project and Malouf Foundation power this important program, helping people recognize and respond to human trafficking in our communities.

As a short-term rental owner and someone in the hospitality space, this training aligns with my values and helps me be a better, more responsible host while keeping my community safe. 💙

The new luxury isn’t faster… it’s slower.

Rotary phones. Record players. Vintage touches.
They create a feeling guests remember.

In a digital world, “analog warmth” stands out—and that’s what makes a stay unforgettable.

🛍️ How My Shopping Lists Work

I create curated shopping lists designed to make choosing easier—without sacrificing style, quality, or function. Each list includes dupes, alternative options, and clearly labeled price tiers so you can shop confidently based on your budget and needs.

You’ll find products thoughtfully grouped into:

💰 Low-Priced Options – Budget-friendly finds that still perform well.

💰💰 Mid-Range Favorites – The best balance of quality, durability, and value.

💰💰💰 High-End Picks – Elevated, premium options for a luxury finish.

I also include dupes and comparable alternatives whenever possible—so you can achieve the same look or function at a lower cost if you choose.

My goal is to help you shop smarter, save time, and find what works best for you—whether you’re furnishing a short-term rental, upgrading your home, or buying gifts.
