Our story

Built With Ambition. Created With Purpose.

Stay Haven Homes was founded by two people who believe that great hospitality starts with great people — and that a serious real estate and hospitality company can be built from the ground up.

Nevaeh Finn

Co-Founder · Licensed Real Estate Agent

Nevaeh is a licensed real estate agent with a passion for property markets, investment opportunities, and the business of real estate. She brings the knowledge and experience to evaluate properties, understand local markets, and identify opportunities that align with Stay Haven Homes's long-term vision.

Her background in real estate gives Stay Haven Homes a foundation of credibility and expertise — from evaluating potential properties to understanding the transactions and market dynamics that drive smart investment decisions.

Joseph Pace

Co-Founder · Contracting & Property Operations

Joseph works in contracting and brings hands-on expertise in property maintenance, repairs, renovations, and construction. His background means Stay Haven Homes understands properties from the inside out — not just as investments, but as physical spaces that need to be maintained, improved, and cared for.

Joseph's knowledge ensures that every Stay Haven Homes property is kept to a high standard — and that when issues arise, they're handled quickly, correctly, and with the kind of attention that protects the property long-term.

Together, Building Something Bigger

Nevaeh and Joseph are driven, motivated, and hands-on in everything they do. They started Stay Haven Homes because they saw an opportunity to combine their complementary skills — real estate knowledge and property operations expertise — into a company that could grow into something substantial. They are committed to building Stay Haven Homes into a recognized hospitality and real estate brand, not just a short-term rental side project.

Why We Built Stay Haven Homes

Travel and experiencing the world are part of the inspiration behind the brand. Nevaeh and Joseph believe that when people get away, they deserve more than just a place to sleep — they deserve a space that feels like a genuine escape. That belief is what drives every decision Stay Haven Homes makes, from how properties are selected to how guests are treated.

Our vision

From One Property to a Portfolio

Stay Haven Homes is starting with short-term rental operations along Florida's Gulf Coast — but the long-term vision is much bigger. The goal is to grow from operating short-term rentals into acquiring properties, building a real estate investment portfolio, and creating exceptional hospitality experiences across multiple markets.

These are future goals Stay Haven Homes is actively working toward — not accomplishments already achieved.

Operating additional short-term rentals across new markets
Acquiring and owning properties as the business grows
Building a real estate investment portfolio
Creating exceptional, design-forward hospitality properties
Potentially developing and renovating properties
Building a recognizable hospitality and real estate brand
