About the host
Your host
Why Wait Just Book It is a family-operated vacation rental business founded by Haley, Jared, and Zack. Our mission is to provide unforgettable vacation experiences that encourage families to embrace the present, create lasting memories, and enjoy life together.
The name Why Wait Just Book It was inspired by the idea of seizing the moment and traveling now rather than waiting for “someday.” It’s a playful nod to Nike’s iconic “Just Do It” slogan, but with a twist that ties back to our faith. During brainstorming, the question “What Would Jesus Do?” (WWJD) sparked a lightbulb moment, leading us to this meaningful and unique name.
Our journey to starting this business was born out of both challenge and blessing. In 2023, our lives were turned upside down in many ways, which deepened our appreciation for the importance of family, faith, and creating special moments together. Through those experiences, we were inspired to help others do the same by offering welcoming, family-friendly vacation rentals where unforgettable memories can be made.
We feel incredibly blessed to embark on this adventure as a family and are excited to share our homes and our story with you. Why wait? Just book it and start making memories today!

Why they chose this property
We loved this is end unit with large outdoor space, plus the resort has private beach access with a restaurant, bathrooms and pool on the beach, 11 pools, putt putt course, tennis courts, pickleball courts, shuffleboard, gym, and more. And the resort is close to everything!
The Story Behind “The Sandbox” The inspiration for The Sandbox came from our youngest son, who lovingly calls the beach “the sandbox.” Every time he wanted to go play in the sand he’d ask to visit “the sandbox.” His joyful enthusiasm and love for the beach made it the perfect name for our beach house. We wanted the name to reflect the happiness and simplicity of those moments, capturing the playful spirit of childhood and the special memories made by the water. The Sandbox is more than just a beach house—it’s a place for families to relax, reconnect, and create their own treasured memories, just like we do.
