Brooke Frazier
Vacation Rental Sales Manager - Kauai #RS-80139
Office: 808.727.1353
Having grown up in the beachfront town of Santa Cruz, California, Kauai was an easy transition. After several visits, the decision to make Kauai home, 7 years ago, was easy. Running and managing her own vacation rental for several years led her to work full time as a vacation rental sales manager. In off time you can find Brooke spending time with her family at the beach. Snorkeling, SUP'ing, fishing, enjoying all the Kauai beaches has to offer. Another passion is hiking the amazing mountains and viewing the beautiful waterfalls.
