How One Pharmacist Turned Their Vacation Home into a $90k Passive Income Machine

Luxury vacation rental at Friday Harbour, Innisfil

After a summer visit to their cousin at Friday Harbour Resorts in Innisfil, Akash and Daman fell in love with the area and decided to take the leap—purchasing their first family cottage vacation home. It started as a dream: an ideal family escape with the added bonus of being a solid investment.

But that dream quickly hit a wall. Self-managing the property became overwhelming, and bookings dried up after the initial pandemic rush. What once felt exciting started to feel like a full-time headache.

Then they discovered Homeseeker—the perfect partner to transform their investment into a truly passive income stream, while building a brighter financial future.

There before you need them

Another thing that deeply impressed Akash—their local Homeseeker team at Friday Harbour didn’t just manage problems; they jumped into action when the unexpected happened.

“During a strong windstorm, the dock was completely wiped out while we had guests staying at the property,” Akash shared. “The Homeseeker team didn’t wait around—they immediately mobilized their local maintenance crew.”

The team acted fast, retrieving the dock pieces that had flown to a neighbor’s property and even collecting parts that had drifted into the lake. Once everything was secured, they quickly scheduled repairs to restore the dock as soon as the storm passed.

“They handled the entire situation seamlessly,” Akash said. “From coordinating with the neighbors to ensuring our guests were still able to enjoy their stay, Homeseeker took care of everything, so we didn’t have to worry.”

“This level of proactive and responsive care is exactly why we chose Homeseeker,” Akash added. “They’re always ready to go above and beyond to protect our investment and make sure our guests are happy.”

They do everything for us so that we don't have to.

And, when something goes wrong, the Homeseeker team is right on top of it.

“When a loose bolt on our new playground swing set was spotted just before guests arrived, our manager called us immediately,” Akash said. “They flagged the issue, secured the swing set, and made sure everything was safe before the guests even noticed. Done and done. We sleep easier knowing they can handle anything that comes their way.”
