Our Story

Cozy Cohost LLC was founded in 2020 by Paul and Ashley Stewart, a long-time couple originally from Long Island, New York who discovered a growing love for Atlantic City. Paul was previously a food broker for a nationwide corporate company, and Ashley is a former wedding and event designer/ planner who worked with prestigious clients within luxury locations throughout New York. Trips to the shore of Atlantic City became a regular occurrence for them to get away from their busy New York lifestyle. They commonly stayed within the hotels, but over time started gravitating outside of the Casinos to grasp and learn about the local side of Atlantic City. Which made them fall in love with AC even more!

After many years and taking many trips to Atlantic City, Paul decided to invest in AC and wanted to purchase a vacation home. After a year, he finally found the perfect house to invest in. They used the home themselves along with family and friends, and they began sharing it with many others by listing it on platforms for short term renting such as Airbnb and VRBO. They really enjoyed hosting and interacting with different people from all over. The home was performing wonderfully, the guests just loved it!

With that, several investors began to contact them for assistance and/or advice with their properties. Paul and Ashley’s passion for real estate and hospitality began to develop and grow, and they also soon realized that managing a property from afar was not an easy task. They recognized the need for comprehensive operational services not only for themselves, but for others like them who wanted to short term rent their investment properties. Firstly, they knew they could not have the issue of state to state distance any longer, so in March 2020 Paul convinced Ashley to take a great leap and risk the move to Atlantic City full time. Within several months of getting settled in and renovating their new residence in Atlantic City themselves, they established Cozy Cohost LLC, a full service short term rental operations company.

Cozy Cohost is the only premier short term operations and design company located directly in Atlantic City, and is now handling over 30 rentals within the city limits. The company takes pride in being locally based and community driven. Whether a client or a guest, there is a perfect fit for everyone with Cozy Cohost.

We are Local Atlantic City.

Meet Our Team

Paul Stewart

Paul Stewart is the initial founder and Managing Director of Cozy Cohost, aka “Pauly Hats”. Paul has a strong interest and knowledge base of real estate, especially the Atlantic City market. He also enjoys the History of Atlantic City, which is often portrayed in his property designs. Since getting involved in real estate, Paul has become very handy and executed many renovation and remodeling projects. He thoroughly enjoys getting his hands dirty and creating something unique and eye-catching for his clients and his guests. Although he works 24/7 (a host is never off), Paul does try to find time to dive into a good book, play hockey, enjoy the beach or have a fun night out in the wonderful City on the Atlantic! He is truly a man of many different talents, and hats!

Ashley Stewart

Ashley deals with the Creative and Administrative operations of the company. She has 18 years of design background and is an accredited and certified Interior Designer. In other words, she loves to hustle for the pretty things! Her business degree has helped contribute to the business while she handles all the clerical, accounting, purchasing and administrative duties. Her organizational skills and high attention to detail are also a huge perk to the company. In her (limited) spare time, Ashley enjoys gardening, flower arranging, DIY projects, the beach and spending time with “Pauly Hats”. She loves being resourceful and close to nature.

Alanna

Alanna is the Operations Manager of Cozy Cohost. She is practically the right hand and tactical protégé to the Cozy Couple, and her responsibilities include: well, a little bit of everything! She’s a jack of many trades to the Cozy Team and plays an important role to help assist with the everyday duties and operations of the business. She often carries the title of “Cozy Handy Ma'am''. With her skills, some tools and a large cup of coffee, Alanna is always prepared to repair, fix, or assemble something. She has enjoyed learning all the new things that Cozy Cohost has thrown her way! (And in this business that is an array of any and everything!) Alanna studied Finances at Rutgers University and has plans to complete a business degree in the near future. She has a work background that includes clerical positions as well as Union construction jobsites. In her spare time, she enjoys being with her boyfriend, family, and friends. She loves tattoos, live music concerts and she is most definitely a foodie that can easily be won over with some tacos!

Nikki

Nikki is the Cleaning Supervisor of Cozy Cohost. In other words, she has a detailed keen eye and runs a tight Cozy Cleaning Crew. There is no mess or task too much for Nikki! And when it comes to making beds, she is truly the master. No one can be put to the test to make a bed better than her! (Seriously, you will never see a bed so perfect!) Nikki is responsible for all the cleaning operations, training, and cleaning staff. She maintains a level of sparkle in all the Cozy properties, and even though the guests may not know her, we know they love and appreciate her high standards of cleanliness and presentation. Nikki’s hard work and dedication play a very huge role at Cozy Cohost for the overall care of the properties and guest experience. As someone who grew up in Atlantic City and is a local resident, Nikki takes pride in the city and the community. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and being with her children. She loves to grill and cook up a great meal, & of course she really enjoys cleaning! Nikki is very talented, and her hobbies include singing, doing hair, and crocheting.

A Word From The Founders

We have had the great pleasure of hosting countless guests and working with many clients directly, so we know firsthand the financial responsibilities and opportunities that come with this industry. We also know the challenges (and boy, there sure can be some challenges!), which is why we developed Cozy Cohost LLC and offer all the services associated with short term renting such as hosting, guest relations, market research, price optimization, platform listing and marketing, cleanings, supplies and amenities, interior design, space planning and the initial set up of a property.

Short term renting is ultimately based on our guests; it is about them, their experiences, and their reviews. We strive for high rated reviews by providing a clean, comfortable, and cozy place to stay. Since we are Atlantic City residents, we provide enhanced local knowledge, efficient responsiveness and a great level of enthusiasm and friendliness for all who come to visit AC!

To our future clients, we look forward to working with you in partnership to develop a lucrative business with your investment. To our future guests, we look forward to being the best and most gracious host to you! Either way, we thank you for the opportunity and look forward to all the future relationships within Cozy Cohost!

Stay Cozy.

-Paul and Ashley
