Job description

Company Overview

Casago Coastal North Carolina is a locally led, locally operated vacation rental management group serving four of the most beloved stretches of the North Carolina coastline through our family of brands: Hatteras Realty (Hatteras Island and the southern Outer Banks), Atlantic Beach Realty (the Crystal Coast), Carolina Coast Retreats (the Cape Fear region, including Wilmington and Topsail), and Carolina Breeze Vacations (the Brunswick Islands). We are led by a team with decades of combined experience investing in, growing, and operating successful vacation rental management companies — and that experience is paired with on-the-ground local managers who live in the markets they serve. The people making decisions about a homeowner's property or a guest's stay are part of the same community, with the authority to act in real time. We believe vacation rental management is a relationship business, and relationships are built locally. For homeowners, we are an advocate first — focused on protecting the home, maximizing income, and delivering transparent, real-time reporting. For guests, we deliver professionally cleaned, fully equipped homes backed by reliable local support from check-in to check-out. As part of the Casago network, North America's largest specialized vacation rental manager, our local teams are backed by enterprise technology, distribution across 25+ leading channels including Vrbo, Airbnb, and Booking.com, and the operational resources of a national platform — while the strategy, service, and relationships remain ours, built locally for the long term.
