Meet The Owner

Dani Fattizzi

Founder and CEO

Hi, I’m Dani and Euphoria is my world. When I officially started the company in 2019 I had been freelance hosting vacation rental properties for over 2 years, since 2017! We’re going into our 8th year soon and it feels surreal. Who knew that along the way I would pick up a gang of family, friends, and new friends 😉 that would buy in so deeply to this vision with me that we would become unstoppable? Every day brings new exciting challenges and I learn a little more about being the best leader I can be to them and how I can show up as a person of excellent character. 
 
 My background has always been in hospitality, from hostessing to bartending to serving tables, so managing properties and providing 5 star service to my owner-clients and vacation guests was a natural next step for me. I set out determined to curate luxury spaces and serene lodging experiences that most others only dream about. I’m proud to say our vacation homes are fully equipped with amenities that make us truly one-of-a-kind in our market. When we say, ‘We live where you vacation’, we mean it. 
 
As a native New Yorker turned Floridian, St. Augustine holds a special place in my heart. After graduating from St. Augustine High School and Flagler College, it’s been wonderful to set roots down here. 
 
 I am blessed beyond measure to have a wonderful support system (my mom works with me), a super fulfilling relationship with my boyfriend Sergio, and 2 perfect dogs, plus the entire crew of Euphoria Vacation Homes (most of whom I’ve known for over a decade)! My passions are saving animals, traveling, health and wellness and self-improvement.

Meet The Team

Jessey Mitchell

Director Of New Partnership Onboarding & In-House Designer (2019)

I’m Jessey! I am a true St. Augustinian. I got my first job in customer service at the age of 15 and have had some connection with the industry ever since. I have seen the ebbs and flows as things around my hometown have evolved. I have seen the rise in tourism, and I have seen the growth in the number of locally owned businesses in the area. When Dani came to me with the opportunity to also be a part of a locally owned business full time, well, I could not turn her down — considering she is my best friend. I am beyond grateful to be a part of a team that strives for not only 100% owner and guest satisfaction, but a team and company that values and respects women, the environment, and the hustle.

Samantha Newbern

Operations Manager & Guest Relations Coordinator (2023)

Hi, I’m Samantha, and I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Euphoria team for a year and a half as an Operations Executive Assistant. In my role, I focus on ensuring that our daily operations run smoothly and assist my colleagues in any way I can. 

One of the things I love most about working at Euphoria is the sense of community. It truly feels like a family of locals here, and I appreciate the support and love we share. 

Outside of work, I’m a proud mom of three amazing kids. I cherish every moment I get to spend with them, whether we’re exploring new activities or enjoying just being together. Balancing my role at Euphoria with my family life keeps me motivated and fulfilled.

I believe in the power of teamwork, connection, and building lasting relationships. I’m excited to continue growing with my team and contributing to the success of Euphoria.

Valerie Fattizzi

Office Manager & Guest Relations Coordinator (2021)

Hi, I’m Valerie! Euphoria Vacation Homes was founded by my daughter Dani, who, after our family moved to St. Augustine 26 years ago, fell in love with the city’s charm and history. After a successful career in sales, I joined Dani in the business, bringing my years of customer service experience to help create unforgettable stays for our guests. Together, we specialize in offering beautiful short-term vacation rentals in St. Augustine, sharing the city’s unique beauty and coastal allure with visitors. Outside of the business, I’m passionate about wellness, always exploring new ways to stay healthy, as well as enjoying my love for reading and traveling—especially to Italy, where the culture, history, and cuisine inspire me.
