Dawna Lipari
Business Development Manager
With a background in the wine, beer, and spirits industry, Dawna had the opportunity to build lasting relationships with chefs, sommeliers, restaurant owners, and other local business professionals throughout Monterey County and Santa Cruz. Those experiences taught her the value of exceptional service, strong partnerships, and the importance of creating memorable guest experiences.
Today, Dawna is thrilled to bring that same passion for hospitality to her role as Business Development Manager at Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. She enjoys meeting with prospective homeowners, learning about their unique properties, and helping them discover how Sanctuary’s personalized vacation rental program can help them achieve their goals while creating exceptional guest experiences. One of the most rewarding parts of her job is welcoming new homeowners into the Sanctuary family.
What Dawna appreciates most about Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is the incredible team. Everyone shares a genuine passion for hospitality, and she loves working alongside people who truly care about homeowners, guests, and one another.
When she’s not working, Dawna is always looking forward to her next adventure. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend getaway in her Winnebago Solis camper van to explore somewhere new or a longer vacation, she believes there’s nothing better than discovering new places and creating unforgettable memories.
