Bizily ventured into real estate more than 30 years ago when he rented out his college condo in Tempe to other Arizona State University students.

“Every time I would have enough money, I would buy another property and keep renting,” says Bizily on the early days of building his business, which has one-plus million loyal guests who regularly return to stay at I Love Vacations’ mid- to upper-level luxury accommodations.

No matter the location, guests of I Love Vacations are guaranteed to find consistency in quality and a dedicated local concierge who can coordinate everything from grocery delivery, restaurant reservations and curated itineraries to creating unforgettable moments, such as having Santa deliver presents for Christmas or a romantic hot air balloon ride over the fiery Sedona red rocks. Guests can also enjoy loyalty perks for return visits.

Driving this first-rate guest experience is a full-service homeowner team and sophisticated property management platform that oversees maintenance and housekeeping operations.

“I like being able to tell homeowners, ‘Hey, I’m a homeowner just like you, so I can empathize and understand exactly what you’re looking for,” says Bizily. “I’m going to treat your property just like my own.”

As Sedona’s largest luxury property management company, I Love Sedona offers top-tier rental homes—from intimate casitas to sprawling estates—in such prime areas as Uptown Sedona, West Sedona, The Village of Oak Creek and Seven Canyons private golf club.
