We’re delighted to announce that we have just signed up with Bellhopt, a grocery provisioning service we’ll be offering to our guests.

This is your opportunity to elevate your guests’ experience with the new grocery provisioning service.

Why Grocery Provisioning Matters

Guests are increasingly seeking seamless, home-away-from-home experiences.

By offering our guests pre-stocked groceries, we achieve several benefits:

• Save time and eliminate stress after a long journey
• Encourage longer stays and positive reviews
• Differentiate your property in a crowded Orlando market

What does Bellhopt offer?

We are confident that Bellhopt will offer a streamlined way to offer prestocked groceries and deliver a great service for our guests.

Bellhopt promises to:

• Stand out from other hosts by providing an extra level of service and convenience.
• Reduce the stress and hassle of coordinating grocery delivery on your own.
• Increase guest satisfaction and potentially receive better reviews by offering this added service.
• Give peace of mind; you know that your guests will have everything they need for their stay, right from the start.

How does Bellhopt work?

The process for Bellhopt is a little different to our traditional welcome pack service because guests have a say in what is included.

Here’s how it works:

1. Guests receive a custom link to build their grocery list.
2. Bellhopt sources fresh, high-quality items from local stores.
3. Groceries are delivered and organized before check-in time.

Every order is fully tracked, with digital receipts available for your records.

Benefits for Homeowners

We think this offers you, our vacation rental homeowners, some additional benefits too:

• Seamless integration with the tools we already use: Bellhopt works with our Streamline property management system
• Hassle-free promotion of the service: we’ll communicate with your guests to let them know the service is available to them.
• Better reviews: happy guests lead to glowing testimonials and repeat bookings.
• Hassle-free management: Bellhopt handles logistics, payments and guest communication.

What We Need from You

To activate grocery provisioning for your property:

• Opt in through your owner portal or email our team at reservations@whiterosevillas.com
• Update the reservation in Streamline with the guest’s email when a booking is confirmed.
• A Bellhopt email will be sent to the guest, allowing them to place their order directly through the Bellhopt website.
  From there, Bellhopt takes care of everything.

Exceptional guest stays are created through unique and exciting experiences layered on top of getting all the essentials right.

One of the additional services many guests request is for outside catering services. We’re really delighted to recommend Spice House Catering for this type of guest request.

We are delighted to recommend Spice House

Why do we recommend Spice House? Because of the quality of the food and the exceptional service, of course.

We can testify to the great-tasting food and exceptional service because our team recently enjoyed Spice House Catering’s services for themselves. We hosted a staff event at one of the properties we manage. And, because we’re big believers in practicing what we preach, it was a no brainer to use Spice House to cater for the event.

About Spice House Catering

Born in Montego Bay Jamaica, Spice House chef Dameon grew up in a culture where foods are grown naturally and harvested nearby. Organic has always been a way of life, not a grocery store label. With an extensive background working in some of the finest luxury hotels and cruise ships for over 20 years, chef Dameon has developed a diverse culinary background.

He strives to bring that same level of attention to detail, culinary creativity and high-class service to every catering client. If our team’s reviews are anything to go by, he certainly succeeds!

Spice House cuisine

Spice House specialities include: Jamaican jerk chicken; escovitch snapper filet; rice and peas and pineapple upside-down cake.

The menu is diverse, with plenty of cuisines and influences evident in the catering menu. Choose from Italian favourites such as caprese salad and chocolate cannoli. Or opt for a Southern Menu featuring hickory smoke BBQ chicken, honey BBQ pork ribs, grilled salmon with a dill beurre blanc, sauteed collard greens and a red velvet cake for dessert.

There are traditional Mexican options from which to choose as well as all American favourites like cobb salad and key lime pie. Or you can opt to build your own buffet. This way, you can pick all your favourites from the wide range of delicious options.

We opted to build our own buffet and the team loved the results.
