Meet Your Hosts – Kelly & David Baucom
Welcome to The Tahiti Suite — we’re so glad you’re here!
We’re passionate about creating comfortable, thoughtfully curated spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep love — some might say obsession — for all things real estate. I genuinely enjoy the entire process: from the hunt for the perfect home, to the art of negotiation, to the creative challenge of staging a property for market.
Raised in Boise, I’m a writer and licensed realtor who finds joy in both storytelling and spaces. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, gardening, paddleboarding and skiing. A glass of Prosecco, a beautiful view, and a great book are never far away.
David is a retired golf pro originally from Mill Valley, California. A lifelong outdoorsman, he’s passionate about fly fishing, bow hunting and downhill skiing — and he never turns down a great glass of wine, a handcrafted cocktail, or a fine cigar.
Always up for a new adventure, David loves to travel and has a natural gift for making friends wherever he goes. He has a sharp eye for design — both interiors and fashion — and an eclectic taste in music that spans nearly every genre. Whether he's on the golf course, exploring the outdoors, or discovering a new destination, David brings warmth, curiosity, and a great sense of style to everything he does.
We raised our two children in Bozeman, Montana and now live full-time in La Quinta. During the summer, we escape the desert heat and head north to Payette Lake in Idaho and the Missouri River in Montana — two of our favorite places.
Over the years, we’ve been lucky to explore some truly unforgettable destinations — from the charm of London and Paris to the warmth and color of Italy, Spain, Tahiti and Mexico. Each place influences the way we curate our spaces with a thoughtful blend of comfort, style and global inspiration.
Wishing you a wonderful stay in The Tahiti Suite!
Warmly,
Kelly & David
