About Us
Inara Escapes was founded by Joel and Shana. We are filmmakers, photographers, and design-driven storytellers who see homes not just as investments, but as experiences.
What began as a creative pursuit capturing spaces through film and photography, evolved into a boutique property brand dedicated to transforming unique homes into high-end short stays.
We partner with owners who value calm professionalism and refined presentation. Every home in our collection is cared for with the same attention we bring to our own projects, styled beautifully, photographed intentionally, and managed seamlessly.
Our role is to remove friction. From guest screening and design to pricing and operations, we handle every detail so owners can step back with confidence, knowing their property is performing, protected, and perfectly presented.
Our background is rooted in creative direction, storytelling, and hospitality, shaped by years of working across film, design, and brand strategy. That creative eye translates into how we manage homes: every property has a experience, every guest stay a story.
A well-run home should deliver both aesthetically and financially. That’s why we stay focused: fewer homes, deeper attention, and a long-term commitment to excellence.
Every property we manage carries the Inara Escapes signature — thoughtful design, cinematic presentation, and the quiet assurance that everything, from first impression to final guest review, is handled with intention.
