South Carolina – September 9, 2024 – Home Team Vacation Rentals, founded by Airbnb Superhosts with a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences, is proud to announce its expansion into South Carolina. The company, which now manages over 300 homes across the U.S., is on a mission to unify the best vacation rentals nationwide — homes known for their quality, design, and premium amenities.
Co-founded by Elliott & Kylie Caldwell and Michael & Jill Elefante, Home Team Vacation Rentals was born from the founders’ desire to deliver more than just a place to stay. After years of self-managing their own properties and experimenting with property management companies, they identified gaps in the industry, particularly around guest experience and property care. Together, they launched Home Team Vacation Rentals with a shared vision of delivering top-tier service to both homeowners and guests.
“We don’t do average,” said Elliott Caldwell, Co-Founder of Home Team Vacation Rentals. “Our move into South Carolina is part of our broader mission to elevate the short-term rental experience across the country. Every home we manage is held to the highest standards, and we offer a full-service approach that takes care of every aspect of the rental process—from dynamic pricing to guest services — so homeowners can enjoy truly passive income.”
A Full-Service Approach That Stands Out
Home Team Vacation Rentals distinguishes itself through four key pillars:
-
Mastering Online Visibility: The company leverages a deep understanding of booking platform algorithms to boost property visibility, resulting in more bookings and increased revenue for homeowners.
-
Smart Dynamic Pricing: By using millions of data points, Home Team adjusts rates in real-time to maximize occupancy during slow periods while optimizing earnings during peak demand.
-
Seamless Property Management: Homeowners can trust Home Team to manage every detail of the rental process—from cleaning to maintenance to guest communication—ensuring a hassle-free experience.
-
Direct Booking Strategy: By prioritizing direct bookings through cutting-edge marketing strategies, Home Team helps property owners bypass hefty OTA fees and boost their bottom line.
From Humble Beginnings to National Growth
Home Team Vacation Rentals’ journey began in 2021, when Elliott and Kylie Caldwell purchased their first short-term rental in the mountains above Asheville, North Carolina. What started as a personal project to gain financial freedom quickly grew into a thriving business, rooted in providing a premium guest experience.
Alongside Michael and Jill Elefante, who began their short-term rental journey in 2019, the team has expanded Home Team Vacation Rentals into a powerhouse that manages over 300 properties nationwide, from the Great Smoky Mountains to South Florida.
South Carolina Expansion Marks the Next Chapter
The South Carolina expansion is a key milestone in Home Team’s strategy to build a national footprint. The company will now serve popular vacation destinations such as Hilton Head Island and North Myrtle Beach. Homeowners and guests can now explore South Carolina rental properties that meet the company’s high standards for quality and service. Home Team also provides full South Carolina property management services, offering homeowners a turnkey solution that maximizes rental income while delivering exceptional guest experiences.
“Our focus on creating lasting memories for our guests is what sets us apart,” said Michael Elefante, Co-Founder. “We’re excited to bring our unique approach to South Carolina and continue our growth nationwide.”
