On July 25, 2026, a Travel DRD property went national on Staycation — and the producers turned the whole episode into a sitcom bit.
Watch the episode
The full episode, as it aired on Staycation — 4 min 41 sec.
Most travel-show segments open with a wide shot of the house and a host walking a hallway. This one opens with a phone ringing. A television crew had flown into Cape Haze to cover Seaside Boca, a Travel DRD property on Florida's Gulf coast — one of five homes owner Nicolas Giacaman and his partners have handcrafted toward a single aim, that a stay there be unique and unforgettable. Somewhere in pre-production the concept shifted from "tour" to "bit."
The title card gave it away first — a yellow oval, red script, dropped straight over the front of the house in a treatment unmistakably borrowed from a certain 1990s sitcom about nothing. Then came the cold open: a call from the host before he'd even set foot on the property.
"Hello? This is Evan Michael. You think you can keep Staycation out of Florida? We're moving in, lock, stock and barrel."
The bit ran the length of the episode. Evan Michael — an Emmy Award-winning journalist and TV presenter with more than twenty years on camera, previously a co-host and producer of This Is Golf on CBS — arrived by golf cart, argued good-naturedly about how to pronounce "golf cart," and accepted a cup of tea from Italo Campilii that existed for exactly one reason: so someone could later say they were ready to "tee it up" on the property's mini-golf course. By the time Evan took in the whole layout, he had his closing line ready.
"Seaside Boca — it feels like I'm at Boca Vista."
If that lands as a punchline, credit goes to the writers who built the whole segment around a single Del Boca Vista reference and stuck the landing. The crew wrapped the day the way any good Florida evening should end: at the historic Gasparilla Island Lighthouse, glasses raised to "the best of Florida, the best of friends, and to sun, sand, family and fun."
Three people, one take
Marketing & Productions
Co-founder of Acromatico, and the person steering how Travel DRD shows up in the world. His job on set was the part nobody credits: making sure a brand still reads as itself once a camera crew starts improvising. The tea he hands over on screen is his, and so is the pun it sets up.
Host, Staycation
Two decades in front of a lens, an Emmy on the shelf, and a stretch co-hosting and producing This Is Golf for CBS. He carries the comedy here without ever winking at it — which is the only reason a sitcom cold open works inside a travel show.
Owner, Travel DRD
South American by birth, South Floridian by choice, and the reason Seaside Boca exists in the shape it does. It is one of five homes he and his partners have built by hand toward a single standard — that the stay be unique and unforgettable. He also builds payments and banking tools — MidPay and MidBank — squarely on the side of small business, so independent operators get the kind of infrastructure the large processors keep for their biggest accounts.
The episode ends the way most good Florida evenings do — outdoors, at golden hour, with the people who made the trip worth taking.
To be precise about credit: Acromatico didn't shoot, direct, or produce this episode — the crew belongs to Staycation and The Destination Channel. What Acromatico's co-founder Italo Campilii does is lead Marketing & Productions for Travel DRD, the brand behind Seaside Boca — the work of making sure a property, a founder story, and a brand are camera-ready and pitch-ready long before a network ever calls.
A property, a founder, or a small brand only earns a producer's attention if its story already reads clearly outside the founder's own head — the names, the details, the reason a viewer should care in the first ten seconds.
National television doesn't wait for a brand to get its materials in order. The founders, the property, and the story have to be documented and presentable on short notice, not assembled after the ask.
Acromatico's job here was preparation and marketing leadership behind the scenes — the credit for the episode itself belongs to Staycation's producers, crew, and host, and to Travel DRD as the property owner.
