ABOUT US
At Vivienda Getaways, our story is just beginning, and it’s one filled with passion, purpose, and a deep love for creating memorable experiences. Allow us to share our journey with you—a journey that started with a dream and has evolved into a boutique vacation property management company with a heartwarming difference.
VIVIAN DIOKNO
CEO and President
Meet Vivian, the visionary behind Vivienda Getaways. Vivian and her husband of 22 years, Mike, had a dream of a serene retreat in Southern Shores. During COVID, the dream became a reality when they acquired a quaint cottage. Recognizing its potential, they embarked on an adventure to create exceptional guest experiences. Over three years, they transformed the cottage into a charming, comfortable haven, drawing on their 20-year history as Outer Banks vacationers.
Little did Vivian know that managing their cottage would awaken a dormant passion within her—the love for hospitality. Before her legal career, Vivian had worked in the dynamic world of technology, assisting independent hotels in streamlining their reservation systems. She reveled in uncovering ways to surprise and delight guests, all while tackling the intricate puzzle of distribution.
After completing her law degree at the University of Maryland Carey Law School, Vivian channeled her legal prowess as an attorney and career law clerk for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Here, she navigated the intricate terrain of bankruptcy proceedings, providing invaluable support to the court and helping individuals and businesses through challenging times.
Today, Vivian’s journey has come full circle. Drawing upon her extensive experience in law, technology, and hospitality, she has embarked on a new chapter, fusing her passions to create Vivienda Getaways. This isn’t just another property management company; it’s a vision driven by attention to detail, dedication to the environment, celebration of spaces, and the art of curating unforgettable experiences.
With Vivienda Getaways, every property under our care becomes a canvas for crafting moments that linger in the hearts of our guests. Whether it’s the cozy nooks, thoughtful amenities, or the feeling of being embraced by the surroundings, we ensure that each stay is a journey in itself.
Join us in experiencing the essence of Vivienda Getaways—a blend of Vivian’s devotion to excellence, her legal acumen, and the sheer joy of curating cherished memories. Our story is an invitation to share in the magic, to create bonds, and to redefine what it means to escape.
Welcome to Vivienda Getaways—a place where dreams are nurtured, experiences are elevated, and the extraordinary becomes the norm.
