Hi, I’m Eric ! Originally from the chilly northeast, I’m proud to have called St. Simons my home for over 30 years now ! Having traveled and worked all over the world, I have been hard-pressed to find a more beautiful and welcoming community and family than I have right here in the Golden Isles.
As Property Manager for Covenant’s Long-Term Properties division, I draw upon over three decades of high-end Estate and Project Management experience with much of that time and work focused in the Yachting and Luxury Hospitality Industry.
I love working with and serving our many property owners and tenants to find the best match for their long-term goals and needs —and feel incredibly blessed to be working alongside such a great team at Covenant in support of achieving just exactly that !
Away from work you can usually find me out and about on my bike or kayak, exploring the neighborhoods and waterways of this magical little island !

Brian Acree – Maintenance

Hi, my name is Brian! I am a husband to my amazing wife, Erica, and a dad to two awesome dogs, Toby and Piper. My family and I have called St. Simons Island our home for over five years! We love taking our dogs for walks or riding our bikes on the beach, that is, when the salt air hasn’t caused another tube to go flat! I also enjoy building and flying first-person view racing/freestyle drones.
I’ve worked as a carpenter and handyman for well over a decade. That led me into the fine woodworking aspect and adding mixed-media, such as epoxy resin. I now have my own small business making items such as river and ocean tables, wall décor, serving boards, and more.
I feel blessed that God led my path to Covenant, a company whose beliefs align with my own..I look forward to continuing to make sure properties are up to Covenant’s standards before our guests’ stay and to fix all of the things that may go wrong along the way!
Lorena Alverez – Housekeeping Manager

Hi, I’m Lorena! I am a lover of cleanliness and organization. After my mother, Ester and my dad, Bady spent 16 years in the cleaning industry, I learned from them all the techniques I needed to open Atlanticview Cleaning Services with my husband, Hector.
We truly love every property we clean, and we make sure that guest and owner satisfaction is always our top priority. Now, we have the privilege of being the only cleaning company that takes care of all Covenant properties. As Covenant’s housekeeping manager, I welcome you to the Golden Isles!

My focus is on building efficient processes that support both daily excellence and long-term growth.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with my husband, Luke, and our kids — or out on the pickleball court, smashing a few volleys. I’m also working on improving my golf handicap (no small feat!). We love all things sports and enjoy traveling together whenever we can.

Braxten O’Neil – Founder

Hi, I’m Braxten! A little bit about me – before founding Covenant Property Management, I spent several years in corporate America and several more as Chief Operating Officer for a fast-growing marketing organization. With over 15 years in the service industry, I’ve developed a deep passion for business operations, leadership, and creating world-class customer experiences.
After owning and managing properties here in the Golden Isles, I felt called to build something that aligned with my faith and values – a company that serves people with integrity, excellence, and generosity. That vision became Covenant Property Management. My goal is to create a place where a talented team of experts can thrive, take ownership, and deliver an unmatched experience for both homeowners and guests.
When I’m not working on growing Covenant, you’ll usually find me spending time with my wife, Brittany, and our kids – fishing, camping, traveling, and enjoying life together by the coast.
