Destin Dreamers Promotes David Hancey to Chief Operating Officer — Or as We Call Him, “Super Dave”

DESTIN, FL – May 14, 2025 – Destin Dreamers, a premier luxury vacation rental company serving the Emerald Coast, proudly announces the promotion of David Hancey to Chief Operating Officer (COO). Known affectionately by the team as “Super Dave,” Hancey has built a reputation for pulling off the impossible and making things happen with speed, heart, and a touch of magic.

“He doesn’t just get it done—he gets it done right,” said Chris Harper, Owner of Destin Dreamers. “Dave has this uncanny ability to spot what’s broken, fix it fast, and leave people smiling. The man’s a closer. Period.”

The team recently celebrated the promotion with a now-iconic photo of Dave wearing a Superman cape. It’s more than a joke—it’s his daily reality. Whether it’s onboarding a luxury estate in record time or rescuing a late-night guest emergency, Super Dave shows up with grit, grace, and a solution.

Arlen Busenitz, CEO, added, “David isn’t just reliable—he’s relentless. He keeps our operations sharp, our owners confident, and our guests coming back. He’s built trust at every level of the company. Honestly, I sleep better knowing Super Dave’s on the ground or in the air.”

Since joining Destin Dreamers, Hancey has played a vital role in streamlining systems, increasing owner satisfaction, and coaching team members to raise their game.

The team echoes the enthusiasm:

• Michelle (Property Manager): “Dave will drive across town in a hurricane just to check a lockbox. He’s saved more stays than I can count.”
• Jaetin (Guest Experience Manager): “Guests don’t see him, but they feel his work. He turns potential disasters into five-star reviews.”
• Mark (Revenue Manager): “He’s the rare guy who understands both people and profit. That’s gold in this business.”
• Mallory (Accounting): “I’ve never met someone so good at solving chaos and making you laugh at the same time. He’s the real deal.”
• Josh (Maintenance Manager): “There’s never a job too weird, too last-minute, or too big for Dave. He shows up, figures it out, and makes it look easy. The guy’s like a Swiss Army knife with a cape.”

With over a decade of experience in hospitality and operations, Hancey’s promotion marks a new chapter of growth and excellence for Destin Dreamers.

“To our owners, our guests, and our team—know this: if there’s a challenge, Super Dave is on it,” said Busenitz.
