About the Owner
We are John, Megan & Chase Hicks. The three of us have long been avid travelers, heading everywhere from the beaches to the ski slopes, enjoying popular areas as well as more remote ones in the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean, and Europe. With such a passion for travel, we had a desire to own vacation destination homes for our own enjoyment as well as for others'. We typically stay in condos in our travels and know what amenities make these home-away-from-homes everything they should be to complete an ideal getaway. And we've poured that knowledge and love into making these condos some of the best vacation homes you'll experience. Since we also visit them to bask in the PCB sun, rest assured these are both more than just places to stay; they're designed for you to feel right at home. We hope you enjoy!Location
