Glowbu Kabins: The Unexpected Truth About Running a Kubo Cabin Rental Business

Hello there, amazing people! So, where do I even begin? It feels like a lifetime (or at least a couple of months – who's counting?) since my last post. Remember when I was all, "Hey, we're starting this little kubo cabin rental business called Glowbu Kabins!"? Yeah, well…that happened. Let's just say my husband and I have been living the "sleep when you're dead" lifestyle. We're talking zero employees, just two slightly sleep-deprived humans running a whole operation. Time? Our biggest enemy. Seriously, if time were a person, we'd be having a very awkward, tense standoff.

So anyway, we officially opened right around New Year's – talk about jumping into the deep end! Starting a business is HARD. Like, "I-questioned-all-my-life-choices" hard. But hey, we're stubborn (or maybe just crazy?), so we're pushing through! Getting ourselves seen out there is a whole other adventure—think of it as a never-ending game of hide-and-seek where we're the ones desperately trying to be found. That's why I've been missing-in-action from my beloved Hive blog. Blogging? Yeah, that's been on the back burner, simmering gently while we frantically juggle bookings, cleaning, repairs, and enough caffeine to power a small town. But guess what? Today, we have six guests and it's a hump day! Not bad, huh? We have 6 kubo cabins and each is good for 2They're currently enjoying the glorious beach, leaving me with a precious few minutes to actually write something. I've missed this! Seriously, writing is my happy place. It's like a mini-vacation for my brain.

We're talking six simple air-conditioned kubo cabins, each perfectly sized for two adults (and their serious need for relaxation). Think comfy and cool vibe.

We're just a short stroll from the beach. Seriously, you can practically smell the salty air from your kubo cabin! we're not sugar-coating here. Just pure bliss.
