Our Story
Back in 2017, the last of Laure's three children went off to college and Laure and her husband decided to purchase a vacation rental investment near their home in South Florida. Laure began managing the family's condo and quickly realized her innate passion and talent for property management, eventually founding Zen Vacation Rentals. A Belgian-native who has lived in four countries and speaks five languages, Laure was able to build lasting connections with owners and guests from all over the world. She has also built a world-class team and operation that handles everything from guest support, maintenance, dynamic pricing and more. Since its inception, Zen Vacation Rentals has flourished, forging lasting connections with diverse owners and guests, thanks to its exceptional team.
