About me

Hi, I’m Michel Lopez, owner and operator of Villa Paraiso Vacation Rentals. We manage waterfront homes in Marathon and Key Colony Beach and handle everything from listing and pricing to guests, cleaning, and owner reporting.

I live and work in the Middle Keys, which means I see the homes we manage, meet the guests who stay in them, and answer owners myself.

What I love about the Keys

Sombrero Beach, the Seven Mile Bridge at sunset, and fresh catch at the local docks.

Started with a free revenue audit. We left our old manager and VPVR rebuilt our listing, pricing, and ops. 90 days later: +24% revenue, 5.0★ reviews, zero 2 a.m. texts. Best move we've made.

Owner testimonial · attested

Brand-new to hosting. Waterfront home, zero experience. VPVR ran the revenue audit, set up licensing, shot pro photos, and dialed pricing from day one. Year 1 finished over $200k. Year 2: $230k and climbing. We just approve repairs and watch deposits hit!

Will be booking with Villa Paraiso Vacation Rentals from here on out!

Our extended family of 8 were all very comfortable staying here. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is the perfect location to explore the keys while being centrally located. Michel was very responsive in all communication and shared excellent recommendations when asked. A perfect family vacation!

Simply beautiful and restful surroundings. Able to meet neighbors and made new friends! Pool was nice way to spend a day or end a long day on the boat.

Our group goes to the keys each year for summer. Location was great. Property amazing and clean. The pool did need a quick clean. I messaged the host and he had someone right out. Very pleased with the response rate. We will for sure be booking again!

We were self-managing with someone else and burning out. VPVR took over: cleaner turns, faster replies, fewer issues, and more income.

3BR in KCB. With our last manager we went months with zero bookings. VPVR did the free audit, rebuilt the listing and pricing, and within 7 days of launching with them we had 2 new reservations on the calendar. The next few weeks filled fast. Night-and-day difference.

We had an incredible time in marathon at the Luna Light property. The house was incredible and built intentionally for multiple couples or families, not to mention exceptionally clean. We had 3 couples total and everyone having their own large mattress and private bathroom was an absolute luxury! Highly recommend Villa Paraiso.

Excellent experience with everything from the host to the overall house and property. The host has been in touch with me from the first day, all thru our rental and after we left.

Phenomenal customer service!!!! The house was a dream come true. The pictures did not do it justice. Michelle was very quick to answer questions, give recommendations, and check in with us. We are already planning a future trip to bring our children.
