Our Story

We're Jamie and Shelbie, and Alabama has always been home. We were born and raised here, we built our life here, and we still live here today. Growing up in the heart of the South meant that two of the most beautiful places in the country were always just a drive away: the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and the white-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast.

Those places became our go-to getaways long before we had a family of our own. There's something about waking up to mist rolling over the mountains, or ending the day watching the sun sink into the Gulf, that reminds you what really matters.

When we started our family, those trips took on a whole new meaning. We loved watching our children discover the same places we had always cherished. We spent mornings hiking mountain trails and evenings on the porch, and long days building sandcastles and chasing waves. Those trips gave us some of our most treasured memories, not because of anything fancy we did, but because we were together, unhurried, and fully present.

Life moves fast. Between work, school, and busy schedules, quality time together can be hard to find. That's exactly why we started Well Spent Stays. We wanted to create places where families can step away from the everyday, slow down, and simply enjoy one another, whether you're planning a big family vacation or a quiet escape for two.

Every one of our homes has been thoughtfully prepared with the comfort, convenience, and little details that make a stay feel special. Our goal is simple: to give your family the same kind of getaway that has meant so much to ours.

Because time away isn't time lost. It's time well spent.

We can't wait to welcome you.
