EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Episode 119: Matt and Taylor are re-joined by Deana Steele. Deana is the Founder of Keys to Kelowna from Kelowna, BC, the top short-term vacation rental property marketing platform in the Central Okanagan. In 2025, Deana also became an Advisory Parter of Deville Coffee Lakeshore, a local coffee shop on Kelowna’s Lakeshore Road.
A trusted leader in luxury furnished vacation rentals and executive housing, Deana delivers exceptional results for both homeowners and discerning guests across the Okanagan. With over a decade of proven success and known for her personalized approach, local expertise, and unwavering standards, Deana is dedicated to making every property she represents stand out and succeed. Whether you’re looking for trusted management of your luxury home or the perfect executive stay, Deana offers a seamless, high-touch experience that is trusted by owners, preferred by guests, and proven by results.
Deana is here to discuss:
→ An overview of the short-term rental (STR) situation in Kelowna, when Kelowna could get the provincial exception to add up to 2200 STR units, and how long it will take to get properties up and running.
→ What would happen if Kelowna added 800 rental units, current issues plaguing the industry including rent prices, vacancy, and bad tenants, and the impacts of lack of tourism & closing of small businesses.
→ How an investor can make short-term rentals (STR) successful, where the opportunities are, and why she diversified her investments with Deville Coffee Lakeshore and what makes it unique.
