About Casa Amiga Stays
We met at Fire Creek Coffee in Flagstaff.
Brian had spent two decades structuring deals across consumer products, supply chains, and entertainment — most recently focused on specialty cacao, including US exclusivity for the world's #1 awarded fine chocolate brand and global exclusivity covering 60% of Belize's cacao production. Craig had spent thirty years in Sedona — building trails, running Sedona Bike & Bean for two decades, and now operating Sedona Trail Zen.
By the end of the first conversation, the pattern was clear. We had been doing parallel work in different fields: choosing something small, learning it deeply, and tending it the way it actually deserved.
Casa Amiga Stays is what happens when two operators with that orientation apply it to a curated collection of homes along the 89A corridor.
In April 2026, the Village of Oakcreek Association announced that its decade-old short-term rental ban is unenforceable. For the first time in nearly ten years, most VOC homeowners can legally operate their homes as vacation rentals.
We don't manage at volume. We tend a small, growing collection of properties the way a specialty coffee roaster sources from specific fincas — each one chosen, outfitted, and positioned individually.
We position for a specific guest psychographic. We outfit to a specific operational standard. We charge a transparent management fee. And we work directly with owners — no franchise overlay, no call centers, no middle managers.
