Island Stays Hawaii started with two operators who'd been the guest, been the owner, and weren't satisfied with how Hawaiʻi was being managed. So they built the company they wished existed.
Braedon moved to Oahu, started a business, and fell in love with the island. Then he left — spending nearly two years living out of short-term rentals across South America, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Not as a tourist. As someone who couldn't stop noticing what made a stay feel effortless, what made guests feel cared for, and what separated properties that actually performed from the ones that just got by.
He came back to Oahu with a clear idea: build the property management company he wished existed. That company became Island Stays Hawaii.
He bought a short-term rental on Oahu and saw the management landscape firsthand — as an owner. His wife is a travel nurse, so they've also lived in furnished mid-term rentals across the country, moving city to city and learning exactly what good looks like (and what doesn't).
He was building his own management operation around the same time Braedon was building his. They kept crossing paths, realized they were chasing the same thing, and decided the best version of it required both of them working on it together.
Sanders is an exceptional executor — the one who takes big vision and turns it into reality, week after week.
Most of the industry is stale, commoditized, and quietly owner-unfriendly. Reports that don't tell the truth. Guest experiences nobody owns. Fees that show up whether the work earned them or not.
We believe owners deserve transparency, real returns, and a partner who treats their investment like it matters. And guests deserve stays that feel intentional — not just a key and a checkout time.
Island Stays exists to raise the standard on both sides.
"We've been the guest. We've been the owner. We built this from both sides of the experience."
