After a long summer of maximum occupancy and demanding guests, Andy Meddick of Seachange Vacation Rentals is now relaxing and reflecting on what went well, what didn’t go so well, and all the things that could be done differently.

From laundry woes, spiders, inexperienced owners, and a revolving door of staff, Andy and his team have weathered the ups and downs of another busy season and he's here to share the learnings so we can all do better next time!

In this episode Andy recalls the best and the worst and shares his 5 key insights that will drive his business forward for another year:
