Our Company

Our Company

Casey Potter started The Holiday Life in 2013, after noticing a need for high quality, well-managed and easy to reserve rental properties in Naples, a favorite destination she visited often with family and friends. After a brainstorming session with her mom, Lisa, she quickly decided the Sunshine State was calling and left her career on Wall Street to begin managing a small handful of vacation homes.

Our Company

The Holiday Life has grown from there and in 2022, became a John R. Wood Properties company through a merger with the esteemed local real estate firm. Through this synergistic relationship, The Holiday Life continues to improve on Casey’s founding goal of providing a wonderful hotel alternative for local visitors while helping homeowners preserve and create value from their real estate investments.
