About Hideaway Home Services

Hideaway Home Services provides professional home watch and concierge services in Sarasota County, offering consistent oversight for properties that are vacant, seasonal, or not occupied full-time. This is not a volume-based company - every home is managed with direct involvement, clear systems, and personal accountability.

Founder Tristen Szalbirak brings over a decade of experience in real estate, property management, and rental property operations, working closely with high-value homes, second residences, and investment properties. Her background includes both short-term and long-term rental management, giving her a practical understanding of how properties function over time and what truly protects their value.

As a Florida Suncoast local based in Nokomis, Tristen understands the unique demands of owning property in this region. Florida homes require consistent attention, early issue detection, and timely response. During recent hurricanes impacting Sarasota County, Tristen worked hands-on in the field conducting property checks and coordinating follow-through, because effective home watch is proactive - especially when conditions are unpredictable.

Hideaway Home Services was created for homeowners who want one trusted professional overseeing their property, not a rotating schedule or checklist. In addition to structured home watch inspections and detailed reporting, services include concierge support such as vendor coordination, home preparation, organization, and select pet care - providing clients with a single point of contact who understands their home and handles details properly.

If something doesn’t look right, it’s addressed promptly and followed through until resolved. The standard is simple: care for every home as if it were your own.

Peace of mind comes from knowing exactly who is responsible for your property - and knowing they understand its long-term value.
