Maria Gabryszewski

Operations Manager

Hometown: Naperville, IL

Life Prior to Third Coast: Maria was introduced to this industry when hired by Dan at Yellowbird Vacations. Several years later, when the company was sold to a national firm, Vacasa, she became Local Operations Manager. Before working in Vacation Rentals, Maria was a Senior Counselor with AuPair in America and was the VP of a Graphic Design firm. 

Why Harbor Country: So many reasons I love living here. Of course the beach, the proximity to Chicago but most of all I love the people I share this town with. 

Favorite Places to Eat: First up I love Houndstooth, my favorite spot to enjoy a date night with my husband Mark. When in the mood for Italian, Farina’s Cafe can’t be beat but when ordering locally, I love Villa Nova for pizza and pasta.

Local’s Only Tip: When things are crowded in New Buffalo, you can buy fresh pizza dough at Villa Nova and make your own Pizza! Their crust is delicious and you won’t be disappointed.
