Vacation Sales Specialist


What is a vacation sales specialist? Well, when it comes to Sandpiper Vacation Rentals, a vacation sales specialist is Hayley Mitchell Smith! Armed with extensive knowledge of the town of Seaside and each of our individual cottages, Hayley is your first introduction to this charming, carefree...and CAR-free....vacation!

Hayley first developed her enthusiasm for travel during her many family road trips across the United States and Canada. As she matured, so did her passion for travel, taking her through all of the British Isles and much of Western Europe. Some of her favorite trips were the ones backpacking through France, Switzerland, and Spain with nothing more than a map and a camera. This adventurous attitude boded well as she continued her Auburn education abroad in Anger and Cannes.

Still, her heart has always been by the sea. Upon receiving her degree in art history from Auburn University, Hayley moved to Charleston, SC where she merged her passion for travel and art with sales. As the manager of several exclusive art galleries in Charleston, Hayley honed her sales skills and discovered that selling comes easy when you love what you're doing! Hayley's unique blend of talents made her a perfect fit for Sandpiper Vacation Rentals, as she shares the same excitement for Seaside as her father, Mark, and sister, Shannon. Hayley is the first personal contact our renters have with Sandpiper Vacation Rentals and whether she's describing the cottage of interest or recommending restaurants and golf courses, Hayley's energy and enthusiasm comes through in everything she does making her an invaluable resource for this company and a welcome addition to the family team!
