About JKW Vacation Club
Our Story
Our story began in 2014, when a spark of inspiration turned a single vacation rental into a passion for hospitality and entrepreneurship. What started as one condo has grown into a purpose-driven travel community led by Jamie, Kevin, and Wally.
Mission Statement
We build a community of like-minded travelers to explore the world together while traveling with purpose. For us, travel is more than a getaway—it is about meaningful connections, new experiences, and a positive impact.
Travel With Purpose
We believe travel should create tangible good. That is why we proudly support the Chill Foundation, a nonprofit that empowers underserved youth through board sports like snowboarding, teaching values such as persistence, courage, and patience—principles that have shaped our own journey.
