Today we’d like to introduce you to Vik Mall
Hi Vik, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The Grand Vacations Company was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to put short-term rental owners first. We recognized a fundamental flaw in the industry—online travel agencies (OTAs) were designed for guests, and traditional property management companies prioritized their own profits. Meanwhile, the owners—the ones with the most at stake—were often overlooked.
We set out to change that. We Founded THE GRAND VACATIONS COMPANY, as a locally owned and operated business committed to supporting the community. By creating jobs and contributing to the local economy, we are not just managing properties—we are building a sustainable, thriving industry.
Our company is designed to be cost-efficient, transparent, and free of hidden fees, ensuring that owners remain in control while maximizing their revenue. We go beyond traditional management by specializing in property management, revenue optimization, and guest experience management, creating a seamless and highly profitable rental operation.
With a focus on innovation and growth, we are actively expanding into other markets, bringing our owner-first approach to more property owners. At The Grand Vacations Company, we don’t just manage properties—we empower owners, support local economies, and redefine short-term rental success.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Like any growing company, we’ve faced challenges along the way. Finding and retaining top-tier talent has been a priority, as we believe a strong core team is essential to delivering the highest level of service. Navigating staffing in a competitive market, ensuring we bring in the best of the best, and maintaining a company culture that aligns with our values have all been part of our journey. Additionally, we have encountered resistance from non-local businesses that prioritized their own interests over the well-being of the community, attempting to disrupt our growth and limit opportunities for local entrepreneurs. However, we remained committed to our vision, ensuring that our expansion benefits both property owners and the communities we serve.
