Joseph Ellen Properties | $18–$22/hour | Full-time, on-site | Path to salaried role
About us
Joseph Ellen Properties manages 200+ short-term rentals across Northeast Florida and was recognized as a Comparent Market Leader (top 1% in NE Florida). We're hiring an Innkeeper to be the heart of two boutique inns in historic St. Augustine — the person who makes every guest feel like the stay was made just for them.
What you'll own
You are the on-site owner of two inns. That means:
- Turnovers & daily cleaning — spotless rooms and common areas, laundry and linens, restocking supplies
- Inspections — walking every room before arrival and catching what a guest would notice before they do
- Guest experience — possibly greeting guests, answering questions, handling requests during the stay, small touches that earn 5-star reviews
- Upsell packages — offering and setting up guest add-ons (celebration packages, early check-in, local extras)
- Property care — reporting maintenance issues quickly and coordinating with our maintenance team
What we're looking for
- A hospitality mindset: extreme hospitality is the standard, not the exception
- High attention to detail — you notice the crooked pillow and the dusty baseboard
- Reliable, self-directed, comfortable working independently day to day
- Physically able to handle cleaning, laundry, and stairs
- Weekend/holiday availability (this is a guest-facing business)
- Reliable transportation to St. Augustine; hotel, inn, cleaning, or vacation-rental experience is a plus
- Bilingual is a plus but not necessary.
- My deal candidate lives in St. Augustine.
Why this role
- Starting at $18–$22/hour based on experience
- Potential to move into a salaried position as the role grows.
- Real advancement opportunity, including within our internal cleaning department
- Small, supportive team that promotes from within
- Beautiful, historic properties in one of Florida's best places to work
