If you spend any time around Candice Menard, one thing becomes clear: hospitality isn’t just something she does, it’s who she is. A proud Louisiana native, Candice built her business, Rent It Like A Saint, around a simple belief: when people are away from home, they deserve a place that feels welcoming, comfortable, and cared for.
Through her furnished homes in Southwest Louisiana, she serves travelers, corporate professionals, and families in transition who need more than just a place to stay, they need a place to land. Candice is an Airbnb Superhost with more than 1,466 nights hosted and is actively involved in the SWLA Chamber of Commerce, West Calcasieu Chamber of Commerce, BiggerPockets Pro, and The Short-Term Rental Society. She is also registered with the Better Business Bureau and was honored as 2025 Agent of the Year by the Women’s Council of Realtors.
When she’s not hosting guests, you’ll likely find her teaching Zumba, traveling the Caribbean and Mexico, or cheering on her beloved New Orleans Saints—Who Dat!
