“We are thrilled to welcome Joe to our team,” said Caroline Shin, Vacatia’s CEO, and co-founder. “He has an extensive track record of success that will enable him to continue VSA’s legacy of superior customer service while creating new opportunities for timeshare owners, guests, and team members.”

Cantrell comes to Vacatia from King’s Creek Resorts in Williamsburg, Va., where he was executive vice president, chief financial officer, and chief operations officer since 2011, having joined the company in 2003. “This is an exciting time for the VSA team, and I’m honored to lead it into a very bright future with the additional resources now available as part of Vacatia,” he said. “I’m confident the VSA division will become a key ingredient in Vacatia’s overall success.”

VSA Resorts’ properties include Ocean Key Resort, Atrium Resort, and Ocean Sands Resort, all located in Virginia Beach. VSA also manages wholly-owned condominium associations in the area. They employ nearly 100 people and have an owner base of more than 18,000. The company was purchased by Vacatia in January of 2022.
