A Family-Owned Vacation Rental Company Focused on Comfort, Cleanliness, and Connection

At Loaves & Fishes Vacations, we believe that great hospitality is about more than just providing a place to stay—it's about creating a space that feels personal, peaceful, and thoughtfully prepared.

Founded by Brian and Marguerite Heckethorn, our company grew from a shared passion for family travel, quality design, and helping others experience the joy of time well spent. After years of managing community-focused efforts and family-led projects, we turned our energy toward building vacation homes that reflect the same care we give our own.

Our Story

With roots in the mountains of West Virginia and hearts drawn to the coast, we launched Loaves & Fishes Vacations with the goal of offering families like ours a dependable, comfortable, and uplifting place to retreat—without the overwhelm of guesswork or unmet expectations.

Our properties are intentionally equipped for real-life moments: board games around the table, sandy feet on the porch, and dinner prepped in a fully stocked kitchen while the kids play nearby. Whether you're traveling as a couple or a full crew, we’re here to make your stay easy, restful, and memorable.

What You Can Expect

• Clean, fully furnished homes in beachside destinations

• Clear communication, responsive support, and seamless check-ins

• Amenities tailored for families: highchairs, beach gear, games, and more

• A personal touch from people who genuinely care about your experience

What’s Behind Our Name?

“Loaves & Fishes” represents our belief in multiplying simple offerings into meaningful experiences. Just as small acts of hospitality can make a lasting impact, we aim to offer more than just a house—we offer a home that’s ready for memories to be made.

Looking Ahead

We’re beginning with our first coastal property in Florida—and plan to expand to more beach destinations in the future. As we grow, we remain focused on quality, transparency, and delivering the kind of vacation experience we’d want for our own family.

Thank you for considering us for your next getaway. We hope to host you soon.
