What Have Travel - Memories Vacations, Llc does

Have Travel - Memories Vacations, LLC is a family-owned vacation rental management and full-service travel agency headquartered in Destin, Florida, serving the Emerald Coast (Sandestin, Destin, Miramar Beach, and the 30-A corridor). The firm operates two interconnected business lines under a single Haverfield-family ownership: a vacation rental property management arm that lists and operates approximately 23 privately-owned homes on the Emerald Coast, and a travel agency that books cruises, luxury, and worldwide vacations via membership in the Signature Travel Network consortium. Travel-agency roots trace to the late 1990s, with the current LLC structure dating to 2007.

The property management business runs on Escapia as the core property management system and Rezfusion as the e-commerce booking platform, with an Amazon Alexa Dot in-unit voice assistant deployed as a guest amenity. A partnership with Xplorie powers the "Memories Fun Pass," which attaches complimentary attraction tickets to bookings as a differentiator against competing local managers.

Revenue mechanics combine (i) property management fees (typically a percentage of rental revenue) on the managed portfolio, (ii) travel-agency commissions on cruise, luxury, and worldwide vacation bookings sourced through Signature Travel Network, and (iii) real estate referral income via a coordination relationship with Destin Exclusive Real Estate. The firm holds a BBB A+ accreditation continuously since 2009, employs between 11 and 50 staff, and operates without disclosed outside funding or acquisition activity.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Global short-term rental marketplace where many of HaveTravel-Memories' managed properties are listed. While not a direct property manager, it shapes guest booking behavior and owner economics in the segment.
• Marriott Homes & Villas: Marriott's branded whole-home vacation rental program. A scaled competitor for premium vacation rental inventory, particularly in coastal leisure destinations, with stronger brand and loyalty ecosystem.
• Vrbo (Expedia Group): Major vacation rental distribution platform and Expedia-owned brand that competes for both guests and property listings in the Destin/30-A region. Indirect competitor via channel partner relationships.

Direct peers

• Evolve: National vacation rental property management company built on a light-touch, tech-enabled model. Competitor for property owners in the Destin area and similar coastal leisure markets.
• Vacasa: Largest U.S. vacation rental management company offering full-service property management and booking across dozens of markets including Florida Gulf Coast. Directly competes with HaveTravel-Memories for property owner contracts and guest bookings in Destin/Miramar Beach.
• ResortQuest by Wyndham: Wyndham-affiliated vacation rental management company operating in Destin and along the Florida Gulf Coast. Direct competitor for managed inventory and guest bookings in the same micro-market.

Regional players

• Sandals & Beaches Resorts: Luxury all-inclusive resort operator in the Caribbean. While HaveTravel-Memories is a referral partner rather than a competitor, both serve the same affluent, multi-generational leisure traveler segment with overlapping booking intent.
• Sunburst Beach Vacations: Local Destin/30-A vacation rental management company. Operates in the same micro-market with a comparable boutique service model and overlapping owner/guest base.
• Compass Resorts: Destin-area boutique vacation rental and property management company. Direct local competitor for both owners and guests in the Emerald Coast market.

Others

• Signature Travel Network: Cooperative travel agency network of which HaveTravel-Memories is a member. Provides the cruise, luxury land, and resort booking infrastructure that powers the company's travel agency revenue stream.
