Marlinda Shurback

OWNER/HR/Head of Reservations

My role on this team is to make sure your trip with us is met with the utmost customer care from the first reservation call to your check-out. Training our reservation reps is one of the best and fulfilling things I do! When I’m not doing reservations I am keeping the resort running on the back end with administrative work. As the owner alongside my husband, I am involved with helping grow the resort for our wonderful customers.
