Have you ever wondered, "Can I go away and make money on my property?" Well, you definitely can, and you're going to want to listen to this episode as we talk about how you can make money while you're away during the FIFA World Cup 2026. Our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Christa Rutherford of Sea to Sky Vacation Rental to explore this timely opportunity for homeowners in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and the immediate surrounding areas.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why FIFA 2026 is creating a massive 70,000-bed shortage in Vancouver and what this means for homeownersThe surprising price difference between hotels (charging $1,000-$3,000 per night) and what homeowners can earn from their propertiesReal success stories: from funding a cross-Canada retirement road trip to putting kids through universityChrista's tried-and-true three-point plan for keeping neighbours happy and protecting your propertyThe biggest myths homeowners believe about short-term rentals and why professional hosting makes all the differenceHow Christa's done-for-you service handles everything from licensing and insurance to photography, vetting guests, and emergency maintenanceThe concierge-level extras that make properties stand out and keep guests coming back year after yearWhy waiting to list your property could cost you top dollar and why this opportunity extends far beyond FIFA weeksIf you're in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, or the immediate surrounding areas, visit Sea to Sky Vacation Rental to fill out the contact form and book your complimentary consultation with Christa. Don't miss this chance to capitalize on the world's largest sporting event coming to your backyard!Christa’s Bio: Sea to Sky Vacation Rental was created by Christa Rutherford, a North Vancouver local with a passion for helping homeowners make the most of their properties without the stress of managing guests, maintenance, or marketing.Christa was working a typical 9–5 job, trying to balance the rising cost of living with raising her two young children. With her pay grade capped and expenses climbing, she needed a way to increase her income while still being present for her family. A friend suggested she try short-term renting the suite in her home. At first, Christa hesitated—she worried about privacy, the kinds of guests who might stay, and whether issues would arise. But after taking the leap, everything changed. The suite quickly became a huge success, consistently booking out and reaching a remarkable 95% occupancy rate. What started as a small idea turned into a life-changing opportunity—one that gave Christa both financial freedom and more time with her children.Seeing how this opportunity transformed her own life, Christa began to wonder how many other people would love to do this but don't have the time? I knew first hand what it felt like to be stretched then - wanting more time with family, wanting the financial ability to take a vacation, plan special events, tackle renovations and check off those ‘one day’ wish list items, but not knowing how to get there.What started as a personal solution quickly grew into a passion: helping homeowners unlock extra income and finding solutions without adding more to their already busy schedules.After seeing friends struggle with unreliable property management and inconsistent results, Christa saw an opportunity to create something better — a boutique, relationship-based hosting service designed specifically for homeowners in North Vancouver and West Vancouver who want to rent their homes while they’re away.Christa’s Social Media links: Instagram: @seatoskyvacationrentalFacebook: Sea to Sky Vacation RentalWebsite:
