About Us
My name is Michael Connolly and I am a licensed real estate agent and host of my own Airbnb investment properties in South Carolina and Pennsylvania. More so, I am the father to four little boys and a beautiful wife named Stephanie. Quickly in our journey towards building a successful short term rental, we learned how important it was to have the proper systems in place to maximize our time, energy and revenue, while providing a 5 star experience for our guests.
My mission and my passion had finally aligned when I founded The Cohost Dad. I can partner with other short term rental investors, providing them with more time and energy in their day, while fulfilling their vision of running a profitable Airbnb. The true value in the company is our ability to produce YOUR vision through communication, collaboration and task execution. When this happens, true synergy is achieved.

However, what truly sets Michael apart is his commitment to owner transparency. In an industry often shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, Michael saw an opportunity to redefine co-hosting by empowering property owners with knowledge and insight. His goal was simple yet profound: to ensure that his clients are always informed and never left wondering about the performance of their homes.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Michael finds joy and fulfillment in his role as a husband and father. Married to his wife, Stephanie, he is the proud father of four boys: Luke, James, Ryan, and Beau. Balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with the joys of family life, Michael exemplifies the importance of prioritizing both professional success and personal fulfillment.
