About the host
Hosted by Brad Lacher
Hi, my name is Brad! My wife and I live in Lakeville, MN with our two boys and two Yorkie dogs. I have been a licensed Real Estate Agent in Minnesota for the past 20 years. My wife Jill has been a special education school teacher her whole career.
For over a year we were looking for a new opportunity for our next real estate adventure that included the dream of a vacation spot. Jill researched to find the perfect city that our family would enjoy a few times a year and would also be an attractive vacation spot that others would enjoy. There were a lot of great options in different parts of the country but we kept coming back to Cape Coral. It offered a variety of beautiful beaches and warm weather...sign us up! What stood out most to us about Cape Coral was everything we kept hearing and reading about the fun, laid-back, boating life that Cape Coral had to offer. At that point, we knew that we had to find a home on a gulf access canal in Cape Coral, FL. It has been an amazing experience and we are loving every minute of it!
Why they chose this property
Our mission is to offer our guests great value, comfort, and the cleanest stay while vacationing at our vacation rental. We want our guest to leave happy and excited to either rebook or tell their friends about their vacation!
