Our Story
"Our Story: From Garage to Global Hospitality"
Once upon a time, in a small garage near Tampa, Florida, a dream was born. Yamila, Carlos, and their two kids, a Cuban-American family, found themselves facing a common challenge: making ends meet.
Imagine this: A young Cuban-American family, filled with dreams and a suitcase full of hope, on 2015 arrives in the bustling city of Tampa, Florida. Yamila, Carlos, and their two children, just like countless others, were chasing the American Dream. After years of hard work and countless sacrifices, they finally settled into a cozy home in the charming neighborhood of Holiday, Florida.
Life in their new home was a whirlwind of new experiences, but it also came with its fair share of challenges. Their once-small garage quickly became a cluttered storage space. One day, while searching for something amidst the chaos, Yamila had a brilliant idea: let's turn this garage into a cozy Airbnb! With a little creativity and a lot of elbow grease, they transformed their cluttered garage with a shower into a luxurious mini-apartment, complete with a comfy living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a stylish bedroom.
From that humble beginning, brillasTU was born. What started as a simple idea to supplement their income quickly blossomed into a thriving vacation rental business. Over the years, they've welcomed hundreds of guests from all corners of the globe, each one contributing to their growing family of travelers. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing. They've faced challenges, from unexpected maintenance issues to navigating the complexities of the hospitality industry. Through it all, Yamila and Carlos have remained positive and determined.
