The North American Vacation Homes Story
Where it began
Back in the 1980s company founder, Brian Slater, had a home in Orlando and came up with the novel idea of renting it out to British holidaymakers.
His first bookings came from a small advert in a local newspaper but it soon became clear there was a demand for this type of self-catering holiday.
The early days
Working from his home in the UK, Brian partnered with an Orlando home management company that had the vision to come on board for this exciting new project.
From selling one home he was now selling 10 homes, and North American Vacation Homes was born.
The 1990s
In 1990 NAVH approached a UK tour operator and the concept was an immediate hit. From that moment NAVH found its groove, pulling together management companies in Orlando and putting in the hard work so that tour operators could focus on the selling.
In 1991 NAVH started selling properties on Florida's Gulf Coast.
