My name is Brian Brown. I'm the Business Development Director for Grand Welcome of Monterey Bay. I am pleased to bring over 20 years in vacation rentals, real estate, and banking to our team. I understand the rental market, the competition and always consult with honesty and build relationships with each of our homeowners, building bridges of unwavering trust. I'm genuinely excited about the chance to connect with you and explore how we can work together. When I’m not busy working with current or prospective owners, I enjoy spending time with my wife and young sons, coaching sports and enjoying the outdoors. What’s not to love!? You’ve got 100 miles of coastline with some of the most picturesque photo ops and sunsets in the world. One of my favorite local restaurants is From Scratch in Carmel. The cinnamon roll pancakes and brisket chili will change your life! ### Denise Turner, Owner & Operator Hi! I’m Denise Turner, the proud owner and operator of Grand Welcome Monterey Bay. With over 30 years of experience in property management—and a background in business administration, leadership and marketing—I’ve had the joy of leading talented teams, managing diverse portfolios, and helping both guests and homeowners make the most of their property experiences. My passion for leadership doesn’t stop at work. I’ve been honored to give back to causes close to my heart, including serving as a Walk Chair for the Alzheimer’s Association. Community means everything to me, and I bring that same heart and dedication into every home we manage. Creating unforgettable vacation memories and helping homeowners reach their goals is what lights me up. If you’re a homeowner looking for a reliable, enthusiastic partner to care for your home like it’s our own—We’d love to chat with you! The beauty of the Monterey Bay is in its simplicity - crashing waves, open skies, and a pace that invites you to breathe a little deeper. It's the kind of place people come back to, again and again. Being able to help others experience that - even for a short stay - is something that drives me and makes me grateful for the small role I play in helping them. ### Joseph Cox, Owner & Operator Hi, I’m Joseph Cox, owner and operator of Grand Welcome Monterey Bay. I started my career in the industry as an on-site property manager. I’ve always been able to connect with people and that’s always been an asset in this role where I’m in front of people every day and responsible for marketing and public relations. I have an upbeat personality and an ability to analyze situations from many different angles making my personality a natural fit for property management. I spend my days caring for their properties and homes, proving both our guests and homeowners with unparalleled dedication. I get to work with amazing people from all over the world, and look forward to working with you. I love the Monterey area for the coastal attractions and enjoying the community. The small-town feel, warmth and welcoming faces are the biggest draw! Whether it’s in PG or Carmel, or getting a little busier up in Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay is Joseph’s place to be! Servicing our homes and homeowners is special too. We have a great group of people I get to see and speak with every day. ### Ersula Fabian, Guest Operations Manager Hello! I’m Ersula Fabian, and I’m proud to be part of the Grand Welcome Monterey Bay team. With over 20 years of experience in hospitality and customer service—and more than 5 years focused specifically on vacation rental management—I bring a well-rounded and detail-oriented approach to property operations. I believe that strong relationships and clear communication are at the heart of great management. When I’m not working, you can usually find me out in nature, recharging and finding inspiration outdoors. One of my favorite ways to unwind is taking a walk along the coast trail in Pacific Grove—especially around sunset. I also love grabbing breakfast or lunch at Wave Street Cafe in Monterey. It’s the little moments like these that make living and working in Monterey Bay so special. ## Owner FAQ ### How much do short term property management companies charge in Monterey Bay? Management fees depend on the home and agreed services. Ask for a written proposal that explains the management fee, additional costs and responsibilities before making a decision. This website does not publish a fixed company-wide rate. ### Are short term vacation rentals allowed in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Carmel? Eligibility depends on the property address and its governing jurisdiction. County guidance applies to unincorporated areas; properties inside a city must follow that city’s requirements. Confirm the applicable approvals and any property-specific restrictions before planning rentals. ### Do I need to collect and remit taxes for short term rentals in Monterey Bay? Tax responsibilities depend on the property’s jurisdiction and booking channel. Review collection, filing and remittance responsibilities with the local authority and in your management agreement; platform collection may not cover every obligation. ## Contact - Email: [hello@montereybayhost.com](mailto:hello@montereybayhost.com) - Phone: [(831) 718-3129](tel:+18317183129) - Address: 140 W Franklin St Suite 203, Monterey, CA 93940 - Hours: Mon–Fri 9am–5pm ## Other pages - [Airbnb & Vrbo Vacation Rental Management for Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Carmel](https://www.montereybayhost.com/about) - [Full-Service Vacation Rental Property Management for Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Carmel](https://www.montereybayhost.com/contact) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.montereybayhost.com/privacy-policy) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.montereybayhost.com/terms) - [Sitemap](https://www.montereybayhost.com/sitemap)
