Inside the Short-Term Rental Hustle with C Anthony Parker

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with C. Anthony Parker about his work in the short-term rental space through Revive B&B. He tells me he manages 25 properties across Charleston and nearby areas, all designed to feel like home with everything from cookware to toiletries already in place. He handles the decor himself and lets the vibe of each space guide the theme—one unit even has a beach house feel overlooking the Kanawha River. C. Anthony says guests include traveling nurses, families relocating for work, tourists, and people meeting halfway from different states. Most of his places are pet-friendly, and he always encourages visitors to support local businesses. He believes in helping others, whether that’s through employment, travel comfort, or simply showing off Charleston through a native’s eyes. You can see his work at revivebnb.info
