Family vacations were a lot of fun but also a lot of work. Preparing for the trip was a lot of work for my mom. She organized everything - from linens to groceries to luggage to beach gear. It was always fun trying to fit everyone in the car with all of our luggage. After arriving, I remember it taking about a day until we were all truly on vacation. After getting home, there was a mountain of laundry and lots of stuff to put away.
After meeting my husband at Loyola College, Pete and I spent our summers at his parents shore house in Ocean City. I remember seeing vacationers arrive every Saturday, just as my family did, with cars loaded with stuff.
Upon graduating, I specialized in business processing reengineering with Accenture. I traveled extensively across the U.S. I always enjoyed checking out what made each hotel unique. Whether it be for work or pleasure, I love checking out lobbies, sampling toiletries and amenities of the hotels.
After 10 years of consulting, I dreamt that one day we would live at the Shore full time. I hoped that I could bring the hotel experience to vacation rental homes. I took that dream to Wharton's Small Business Development Center to further develop the specifics.
From there, Relax was a reality and we've have been enhancing vacations ever since.
Every summer, we've expanded the business. We are always adding more inventory to service more guests, incorporating new product lines per our guest requests and adding new delivery towns. We want to hear from our guests as to the best way we can make vacation the most fun and relaxing.
