Life In Paradise

Life In Paradise has been a trusted name in Port Aransas vacation rentals since 1985. As a family-owned and locally-based business, we combine decades of industry experience with cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional service to both guests and property owners. Our commitment to quality began with Martha and David Dore, who established the company's foundation through innovative booking systems in the 1990s. Today, under Steve DeWitt's leadership, we manage over 550 properties and 12 HOAs while maintaining the personalized approach that defines our brand. Our team of 35 full-time employees and 40-90 seasonal housekeepers ensures every property meets our high standards. We pioneered direct booking advantages that save guests 15% compared to third-party platforms, offering personalized service and local expertise. Our property management services include professional marketing across major OTAs, comprehensive housekeeping, and maintenance with transparent pricing at 18.5% management fee plus 1.5% marketing.

We invest in technology to verify guest identities and maintain minimum age requirements for responsible rentals. Our third-generation family members now hold key roles, ensuring continuity in our customer-centric philosophy. We treat every property as if it were our own, providing owners with maximum returns through efficient operations and no hidden fees.
