Paradise News’ “emerging leaders of the Corey area are all women in business”. Some inherited a business, others built theirs from scratch, but all are working together and individually to make the Corey Business District a destination for everyone, residents and visitors alike. The tradition of women in business on Corey goes way back.
Pauline Kendrick had a storefront for decades next to Beverly’s La Croissette called “Property Owners of St. Petersburg”.
Pauline was a proper British lady who dealt with a lot of international folks including Brits, who had vacation or investment places here. Later it was rebranded as Maids, Maintenance and More, which better described the services she provided.
Pauline’s daughter Paula was married to William Arie, whose built himself a much bigger business, exclusively managing vacation rental properties including specialized cleanings and supplying all the needs of vacation property owners.
From offices in Madeira Beach, Sarasota and Boone, NC, jpholdingsandventures.com services 400 – 500 owners / month in season. They list properties on VRBO, Airbnb and their own website for national exposure. Whether you live in the area full time, visit seasonally, or manage a vacation rental, we ensure everything is in perfect condition when you arrive. In addition to a dedicated and experienced property manager, our vetted team of highly trained, uniformed professionals provides dependable service with a focus on quality and care.
They offer in-house cleaners and maintenance and like Pauline, who had her own laundry in the back of her shop, they provide all linens, towels and all toiletries for each clean and take the laundry back with them for the next trip. They also do periodic property checks for out-of-town owners. Due to their volume and on staff maintenance, they can offer very affordable monthly fees.
Owner / operator Bill Arie says “At Johns Pass Holdings, we are dedicated to delivering dependable care for your home, whether you live there year-round or seasonally. From property inspections to cleaning and full-service management, our mission is to protect your investment and simplify ownership in both Florida’s Gulf Coast and North Carolina’s High Country.”
If you know anyone needing services for their vacation rental property, call toll free 800-749-4080 or local 727-922-3555.
Bill is also looking for someone to replace himself as manager of the Tampa Bay region and to establish a St. Pete Beach office.
