About Lake Life

Twelve years of personal hosting.

Lake Life is a Kelowna property management company, owner-led with a small, long-tenured team. We support a small roster of STR eligible properties across town to a single, professional standard. That's the whole company.

From the founder

The standard I won't compromise on.

I started hosting in 2013. Short-term rentals were still a side hustle, Kelowna's downtown skyline was three towers shorter, and I was doing every turnover myself. For nine years, I hosted my own units the way I'd want to be hosted: handwritten welcome notes, the recommendation that became the highlight of the trip, responsive support whenever a guest needed it.

In 2022, Kelowna recognised it on the Top 40 Under 40. In 2024, I formalised it as Lake Life: a Kelowna property management company for fellow owners of STR eligible properties who want the same consistent, professional standard for their unit. We take a small number of new properties each year. That's how we keep the standard intact.

If we work together, you'll have my number, and I'll know your unit by name. That's the whole pitch.

The timeline

Twelve years, in five chapters.

2013

First listing.

A one-bed off Bernard Avenue, hosted personally for nine years. The unit that taught everything that followed.

2018

Second & third units.

Two more downtown condos added, both hosted personally. The first hint that this could be a company, not a side hustle.

2022

Top 40 Under 40.

Recognised by Kelowna's business community for work in hospitality and short-term rental management.

2024

Lake Life launches.

Company formalised. First external owners onboarded across a range of STR eligible Kelowna properties.

Today

A small Kelowna roster.

Working with STR eligible condos and vacation rental properties across Kelowna, with examples like Sole, St. Paul & Playa del Sol. New owners taken in seasonally; most onboardings happen between October and March.

Kind words from local press.
