Founder & CEO- Cozi Vacation Rentals

Matt Durrette is the Founder and CEO of Cozi Vacation Rentals, nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country in Fredericksburg, TX. Cozi is a premier 24/7 provider of property management and marketing services for its owners and a provider of unforgettable experiences for its guests. Originally founding the business out of Baltimore, MD, in 2014, Matt was able to grow his managed portfolio in this downtown market to 100 homes from 2014 to 2019 while working full-time for Northrop Grumman as a Global Business Development Representative and attending grad school at Saint Joseph’s University, in Philadelphia, where he obtained his MBA in Marketing and Data Analytics in 2018.

Matt was fortunate to meet his beautiful wife, Jenna, who is originally from Austin, Texas. In Summer 2019, Jenna easily convinced Matt to move back to be near her family. Upon moving, Matt left his full-time job at Northrop and pursued Cozi Vacation Rentals full-time. In March 2020, COVID ultimately shut down Cozi’s Baltimore City Market, and from this point, Matt chose to solely focus Cozi's growth on the drive-to tourism markets of the Texas Hill Country just south of Austin. Since April 2020, Matt has organically grown and scaled the Cozi Vacation Rentals unit portfolio in Texas from 0 to 250 units within two years.
