About Us

The origin of "why wait" goes back 20+ years to when Tamie & I first got engaged. We were planning the wedding as usual, but with a date far into the future, we got impatient. While visiting the wedding venue, the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth, with about 6 months left until the wedding, Tamie looked at me and said "Why wait? Let's do this now!" We got married a month later.

Like everyone else, we both have busy schedules, but we follow the "why wait" philosophy with our travels and experiences. If you have a destination that you'd love to visit, there's no time like the present. Yes, your life is busy, and it's hard to find time, but you don't live forever, so why wait to book that trip? YOLO!

Over the years, we've traveled around the world, and love traveling in the US. Now that our kids are grown and on their own, we are able to travel more frequently. We've fallen in love with a few places around the country and in doing so, we decided to, and were blessed enough, to buy properties in a couple of those favorite spots. We started Why Wait Getaways in March 2024 with a goal to share those properties with others who love to travel. We want you to feel at home in our home.

While this isn't our full-time job, we wish it was and we treat it like it is! Tamie is a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve and Eric is a pool designer in Dallas (@ericscottdesigns on IG).  We both absolutely love what we do, but we've got to squeeze in some relaxation too! 

These properties aren't just rentals; they're our homes. We personally renovated White Oak and The Satellite condo together and are proud of what we've done and the vibe that we've given them. I did the handywork and Tamie put her magic touch on the interiors. A lot of hard work went into making each of these a beautiful place to stay and each has a special place in our hearts. One day, we hope to be able to offer a few more destinations but for now we're ecstatic to share what we've got with you.
