2024 Highlights: A year of achievements and traditions
10 Years of Casiola
This year, Casiola vacation homes proudly celebrated 10 unforgettable years of delivering exceptional vacations. From starting with just one vacation home in 2014 to becoming a trusted name in Orlando, Aruba, and Miami, our journey has been nothing short of incredible. Over the past decade, we’ve grown into a company that thousands of guests rely on for unforgettable stays, all thanks to our dedicated team, loyal guests, and supportive partners. This milestone is a reflection of our passion for hospitality and our commitment to creating lasting memories for everyone who chooses Casiola for their travels.
To mark the occasion, we hosted a spectacular event at the Evermore Resort in Orlando, bringing together team members, partners, and guests to celebrate this momentous achievement. The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, exciting giveaways, and a chance to reflect on the moments that have defined our journey—from expanding to exciting destinations like Aruba and Miami, launching our first franchise in Houston, and growing a team that wholeheartedly embraces our vision for excellence.
CEO Dennis shared an inspiring message about the company’s growth and future, while attendees enjoyed the beautiful setting of Evermore Resort, which perfectly captured the magic of the occasion. As we look back on the last decade, we’re even more excited for what’s to come, and we can’t wait to create new memories and adventures in the years ahead!
VRMA Excellence Award for Advocate of the Year
This year, Casiola vacation homes proudly took home the prestigious VRMA Excellence Award for Advocate of the Year, a testament to our commitment to innovation, community, and advocacy in the vacation rental industry. The award recognized our Casiola Beach Party fundraiser at the VRMA International Conference in Orlando last year, an event that brought together industry leaders for a night of connection, celebration, and giving back. Led by our visionary CEO, Dennis, the event showcased the power of collaboration in driving meaningful change within the industry. From promoting sustainability to supporting local initiatives, the Casiola Beach Party was not just a celebration but a reflection of our mission to create a better future for vacation rentals. Winning this award is an honor that highlights our dedication to making an impact beyond the stays we offer, and it inspires us to continue championing innovation and advocacy as we move forward.
AHATA Excellence Award
We are thrilled to celebrate Jensen Rimorin, a shining star on our Casiola Aruba team, for receiving the prestigious AHATA Excellence Award in 2024. This award, presented by the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association, honors outstanding individuals who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service and contribute to Aruba’s thriving tourism industry. Jensen’s dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to excellence have made him a beloved member of our team and a trusted resource for our guests. From her warm hospitality to her ability to create memorable vacation experiences, Jensen embodies everything that makes Casiola special. This recognition not only highlights Jensen’s incredible contributions but also underscores our commitment to providing world-class service across all our destinations. Congratulations, Jensen—you’ve made us proud!
Casiola in the community
This year, Casiola Aruba was thrilled to be a proud sponsor of the 2024 Aruba Open Beach Tennis Championships, an event that has become one of the most exciting highlights of the island’s sporting calendar. Known as one of the largest beach tennis tournaments in the world, the championship drew athletes and fans from all corners of the globe to compete and cheer on their favorites. The picturesque beaches of Aruba provided the perfect backdrop for this thrilling event, blending the high-energy atmosphere of the games with the island’s breathtaking natural beauty.
For us at Casiola, being part of this prestigious event was about more than sponsorship—it was about celebrating the unique spirit of Aruba. The tournament showcased the island’s vibrant culture, active lifestyle, and its ability to bring people together in the name of sportsmanship and fun. The matches were packed with intense rallies, jaw-dropping skills, and plenty of cheers from enthusiastic spectators, creating a lively and unforgettable experience.
Our involvement in the Aruba Open also reflects Casiola’s ongoing commitment to supporting local events and strengthening our ties with the community. By contributing to such a dynamic and international event, we’re proud to enhance the cultural and recreational experiences that make Aruba such a sought-after destination. Whether you were a player diving for a winning shot or a fan soaking up the sun and excitement, the championship offered something truly special for everyone. We’re honored to have played a role in making it happen and look forward to supporting this incredible event in the years to come!
The year we made new traditions
One of the most heartwarming highlights of 2024 was the creation of Casiola Kids Days, a tradition that began as a simple way to help our team during school breaks and quickly grew into something truly special. With the incredible guidance and creativity of our Happy Manager, Liliana, these days transformed our office into a lively, joyful space where kids could laugh, play, and even get a glimpse into their parents’ work life.
From dance-offs and impromptu games to helping with small office tasks (and enjoying plenty of snacks!), the kids brought a unique energy that brightened everyone’s day. Parents loved the ease of balancing work and family, while the kids cherished the chance to connect with others and feel part of the Casiola family.
Casiola Kids Days remind us that family is at the heart of everything we do, and we could never have accomplished this without Liliana’s dedication and leadership. We’re excited to continue this tradition in 2025, bringing even more joy and connection to our workplace.
Witnessing the magic of the 2024 Solar Eclipse
This April, we paused our busy schedules to witness a truly extraordinary event: the 2024 solar eclipse. This wasn’t just any eclipse—it was a rare annular eclipse, often called a “ring of fire,” where the moon passes directly in front of the sun, leaving a brilliant ring of light visible in the sky. For many of us, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to marvel at the wonders of our universe.
At Casiola, we couldn’t miss the chance to take it all in. Armed with special viewing glasses, we stepped outside our office to share the moment together. The atmosphere was filled with awe as we watched the sky transform in real time. For some of us, it was our first experience seeing an eclipse, and the excitement was palpable. For others, it brought back fond memories of eclipses past, creating a moment of nostalgia and connection. It was one of those rare occasions where everything else fades away, and you’re reminded of just how vast and incredible the universe truly is. This simple yet unforgettable moment left us inspired and united, a perfect reminder to take time to appreciate the beauty all around us.
