Meet The Team
Your superhost
Hi There!
I'm Alisha, Founder of Hello Haven. My journey with short term rentals started back in 2010 when I stayed in my first airbnb. With a spontaneous personality and passion for traveling, I have stayed in dozens of short term rentals across the world. I've always had a desire to have my own airbnb that I could share with others traveling from near and far. Fast forward to 2021 - I completely gutted a friend's long term rental, refurnished it top to bottom, converted it into a short term rental, and that's how Hello Haven was born! Long story short, the home owner ended up 3x-ing his long term rental income, and with my full co-hosting services, it became a 100% passive investment property for him.
A month after, my husband and I invested in our very first short term rental and my little business grew by word of mouth into something I never imagined (in the best way!).
I quickly became extremely passionate about the industry as a whole: providing exceptional hospitality, designing spaces, creating memorable experiences for guests, and helping other homeowners create residual income and financial freedom for their families. In 2022, I stepped away from my 10 year nursing career to build Hello Haven full time. To our surprise, it has become one of the biggest life blessings as it helped us transition into the biggest chapter in our lives yet. My husband received 3 year military orders overseas and we became first time parents in 2023. I now get to live my dream as a stay at home mom while still fulfilling my entrepreneurial spirit and love for hospitality.
Whether you are a property owner, investor, or guest... welcome! I'm so happy you found me here.
Fun Fact
We have an english bulldog named moose and a french bulldog named bentley! we love them so much that we included them in our wedding by naming our signature cocktails after them: The “moosecow mule” and the “frenchie’s old-fashioned.”

LAKES Escape
This was our primary home in Virginia Beach for 5 years, so this one is extra special to us! When military orders called, we decided to keep the home that created many memories for our family, in hopes it would do the same for others. Over the last 2 years we were able to accomplish that and help over 10 different families transitioning to the area. Our favorite part of the home: starting every morning with a fresh cup of coffee while taking in the calm lake views!
