James Jestes

🌍 Hosted by world travelers, sunset chasers, and road trip junkies

Hey there! I’m James, proud dad of four (two are off exploring the world), veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and Army, and a full-time real estate broker based in sunny Florida. I’m married to Hakima, my amazing travel partner and former Emirates Airlines stewardess who has been just about everywhere that airline flies. Seriously, if it’s got a runway, she’s probably been there.

Together, we’ve had some unforgettable adventures. We’ve wandered the vibrant streets of Marrakesh, watched the sunset over the Florida Keys, slurped ramen in Osaka, temple-hopped in Kyoto, and caught Broadway shows and bagel breakfasts in NYC. And when we’re not hopping on a plane, we love random road trips to wherever the GPS or a good diner takes us.

Now we’re lucky enough to host guests right here in the Greater Daytona Beach area. Whether you’re coming to relax on the beach, explore the area, or even start a home search (that’s my specialty), we’ve got cozy and fun vacation rentals waiting for you.

Come stay with us and let’s make your Florida trip the start of your next great adventure 🚗🌴🌎
