Exclusive Vacations was founded by Adam and Caroline Guy, whose love for travel and dedication to luxury hospitality sparked the creation of the company. Their journey began during a memorable trip to Anna Maria Island, where they instantly fell in love with the island's charm and beauty. Inspired by the experience, Adam and Caroline built their first vacation home on the island, initially using it for their personal getaways.

As their own experiences at the property exceeded expectations, they recognized an opportunity to share this level of luxury living with others. This led to the expansion of their portfolio, carefully selecting and developing additional properties that met their exacting standards for quality, location, and amenities.
