About the host
Hosted by Janet Palermo
We are Tom and Janet Palermo. We live in Arden Hills, MN and Sanibel is our home away from home. We have two daughters who are married and have 4 grandchildren to date. We’ve been coming here since before we were married and dreamed that someday we could have a place in Sanibel. Our first dream came true in 2014 when we bought a condo (3 BR) at Pointe Santo. Within a few short years our family outgrew the condo and thus our search for a home. We found this perfect fit in 2019. Please enjoy our home as much as we do. Welcome home!
Why they chose this property
It has everything. Close walk to the beach, private pool, on a canal with access to the gulf, tropical private lawn, all the amenities inside that you’d ever need.
What makes this property unique
Close walk to beach with deeded beach access and on a gulf access canal.
