At Hobbs Realty, milestones are never just about recognition - they’re about the people, values, and vision that shape our story. This August, we’re honored to celebrate our CEO, Rachele Hobbs, who was awarded the Vacation Rental Women’s Summit Pioneer Award, a distinction given to leaders whose perseverance, dedication, and innovation have paved the way for the future of our industry.
A Legacy of Leadership and Care
The Pioneer Award recognizes those who don’t just follow industry trends but help shape them. Rachele has done exactly that, blending smart strategy with heartfelt purpose.
The Pioneer Award celebrates those whose innovation, dedication, perseverance, and heartfelt effort have paved the way for the vacation rental landscape we know today.
Closer to home, her compassion shines through Hobbs Helping Hands, our ongoing commitment to serve our Holden Beach neighbors. From providing holiday meals for families to supporting local schools and organizations, our team believes success only matters if it’s shared. This spirit of generosity is woven into every part of Hobbs Realty - guided by Rachele’s example.
That same generosity is now growing beyond Holden Beach. Rachele is helping to launch Hospitality Heroes, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting hospitality workers across the industry during life’s toughest storms. From hurricanes to personal crises, the mission is simple: to ensure those who dedicate their lives to serving others are cared for in return.
More Than a Vacation
For our guests, this spirit of care translates into more than a week at the beach - it’s an experience of true Hobbspitality. We know how hard families work all year to carve out time together, so our goal is to make every detail of their vacation as effortless as possible.
That’s why we’ve continued to add thoughtful touches that go beyond the ordinary. From ready-for-bed service and towel rental options, to curated amenity kits and partnerships that make travel lighter and easier, we’re always looking for ways to turn a getaway into something more: a time of renewal, connection, and joy.
Because when our guests feel cared for, they can fully relax - building the kind of memories that keep generations returning to Holden Beach, year after year.

Rachele’s recognition as a Pioneer in our industry is both a celebration and a reminder of what matters most: people.
At Hobbs Realty, we are driven by strategy, innovation, and results - but we are defined by the heart behind it all. From supporting our community, to serving our guests, to caring for our team, the Hobbs story continues to be written in moments of generosity and excellence. And with Rachele at the helm, we’re excited for all that’s ahead, because when leadership begins with care, everything else follows.
