Meet Sandra

Luxury Hospitality Starts with Genuine Care

Hi, I'm Sandra, founder of Sunshine Vacation Rentals.


For me, hospitality has never been about handing someone a key, it's about creating the kind of experience people remember long after they've returned home.


As a luxury real estate professional in Southern California, I've spent years helping clients buy and sell extraordinary homes. Along the way, I realized that the homes people vacation in deserve the same level of care, attention, and professionalism as the homes they own. That belief became Sunshine Vacation Rentals.
