About Cardinal Vacation Homes:

Founded in January of 2020, Cardinal Vacation Homes provides luxury vacation rentals in St. Louis and surrounding areas. 

Owners Jimmy Haley and Bryan Brown were college baseball teammates at Washington University in St. Louis and are natives of the city. Once rivals in High School, the two have formed a lifelong friendship and decided in 2019 that it was time to take it to the next level.

Both Jimmy and Bryan have worked at large companies for most of their careers. Frustrated with small annual raises and monotonous commission structures, they decided to take matters into their own hands.

Acquiring their first property at the very beginning of the Covid pandemic, with the intent of starting a TRAVELING company seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle. However, providing top notch cleaning/sanitization and customer service for those who HAD to travel allowed the business to grow despite the circumstances.

Today, travel is BACK and stronger than ever. Cardinal Vacation Homes strives to provide quality homes for visitors of our fine city for years to come.
